The largest of the 19 regions of Finland lies at the northern end of the country where the Arctic Circle, which defines the Arctic Circle, passes, and when the snow covers Lapland, it becomes one big experience, just right for brave and energetic families.



Lapland is not small and full of options for snow and ice entertainment and of course, stories and folklore, which are waiting for you in every corner you reach. So in order not to get lost, it is recommended to join an organized trip, with a guide who knows the country well, and who will lead you from one attraction to another and make sure you are always well equipped to deal with temperatures we really do not know .... sounds perfect to you?

Reindeer sledding to



Lapland has established itself as the home of the one and only Santa Claus and appropriately, you will find countless places that offer to join the man-style riding with the red suit and white beard.

In fact, reindeer riding is a traditional "baking" experience and reindeer deployed throughout the country are an integral part of the economy and daily life of the locals.

The ride is not too fast, so it is great for the whole family and is also a good way to "warm up", literally, for the following experiences.



Riding snowmobiles



Shift up and switch to one of the prominent transport routes in Lapland. Instead of getting stuck on blocked roads, the Lapps ride them on snowmobiles and you too must not miss this experience, which takes you quickly through breathtaking coniferous forests, frozen rivers and more. There is also the option of night riding, all the way to the Northern Lights during periods when it can be seen well. Just pay attention - driving is only allowed for motor vehicle license holders and you must also take out insurance before you get on the motorcycle, so parents or adults can drive the youngsters in an accompanying small vehicle, and carefully!



Skiing and snowboarding



One of the fun things to do in Lapland, as befits a snowy country, is skiing and snowboarding and there is no shortage of quality sites for this - Levi is considered the best of all, Yllas offers over 55 km of different slopes and Pallas rises to a height of 780 meters. Will provide you with a different skiing experience than anything you know, thanks to beautiful views and especially challenging slopes.Whether you get along with the skis, or prefer the snowboard, this is definitely a great way to launch the adrenaline into the sky and come home with great photos for all ages.

Riding a Husky Dog Sled



We started with a leisurely ride behind the reindeer and now we are up gear with the social Huskies. Here too it is not a matter of hundreds of km / h, but a fun ride that the whole family will enjoy very much. The dogs will take you for a walk in the woods, in an atmosphere that takes us back hundreds and maybe even thousands of years. adorable dogs, you can also play with them and see where they grow a special farm lovingly cared where you can also enjoy cute little puppies grow up to be used in the next listed as "snow vehicles of these.



karting on ice



Most of us have played with karting at some point. It's not complicated - get in a tiny car and drive around the track for a few quick laps, trying not to collide with the curbs or other vehicles and reach the finish line first. But what if it all happens on ice? Ice Carting is a great epic experience that even children will not forget for a moment. The vehicles are obviously suitable for riding on snow and ice, but it is still a serious challenge and an attempt to take control of tires and movements that we do not dream of at all when we are driving on a normal road. Probably as soon as you jump in your ice car, the competition will awaken and you will want to be the winning driver.



Swimming in frozen water



Finally - ice baths you know, right?

But what about wading in icy water?

In Lapland there are special ships that can break the ice on their journey through the frozen sea and bring you to its depths.

The icebreaker cruise and the road it passes are a fun experience in itself for the whole family, and when you reach the mooring point in the middle of the sea, the adventurous among you can get special opaque buoyancy suits and "jump into the water".

Well, maybe not really worth jumping into, but definitely try to relax a bit when you are floating on the icy water and glacier fragments are floating around you from all sides and the suits are keeping you well guarded.
