Top Activities on a Lapland Safari
Situated in the northernmost part of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia Lapland is a perfect destination if you are looking for a memorable vacation with your family, friends or employees. If you are on a Lapland safari, don’t miss out on these listed below.
Snowmobile excursion:
Of course, you have not been to Lapland if you have not driven a snowmobile. You will tear the snowmobile over frozen lakes & across narrow trails in the woodland. This is an adventure that you would not mind to experience again and again.
Ruska:
The forests in Lapland are at their most beautiful for a two-week period in mid-September. This period is known as Ruska, when visitors and locals set out for some “leaf-peeping”. Around a month prior to the snows settling & long after the mid-summer mosquitoes, autumn is an excellent time for walks in Lapland.
Meet Santa Claus:
Rovaniemi, Lapland’s main town is officially the hometown of Santa Claus. For children it’d be unfair to visit Lapland and not bring them to meet Santa.
There Are 3 big Santa-themed attractions in Rovaniemi: Santa Claus Village is where you can explore his office & the post office where kids’ letters from across the globe end up.
Santa Park is more of a Christmas theme park with rides & shows for kids.
Meanwhile Jolukka is a rural attraction, where children can hang out with Santa’s elves at any time of year.
Reindeer excursion:
Reindeers are so central to Lappish life! Any resort or town in Lapland will have a company providing reindeer excursions, and of course, apart from being able to explore these elegant creatures working in tandem, you will witness the landscapes that give Lapland its “winter wonderland” tag.
Husky safaris:
A dog-sledging safari is one of those classic Lappish experiences that’s readily available at major ski resorts like Luosto, Levi and Suomo, as well as the town of Rovaniemi. After a little training you’ll become a “musher” controlling your own pack of dogs and sliding through Nordic woodland at high speed.
