Welcome to the Arctic Circle - Winter

7 hours

Easy

Get a glimpse into the capital of Lapland - Rovaniemi, during this 6-7 hours' tour around the Arctic Circle border.

Experience and feel Lapland throughout this day-long tour by beginning with an invigorating breath of fresh air in the arctic forest. Wake up your body with a trek through the deep snowy forest on snowshoes! 

Afterwards, you'll visit Lapland’s VIP animals, the reindeers and huskies. Experience one of the most popular winter activities: go on a sleigh ride pulled by reindeers and huskies, and visit both local farms. (Options for longer sleigh rides may be available with an additional cost.)

Looking forward to meeting the Christmas legend - Santa Claus at Santa Claus Village. The Arctic Circle line is located right there, cross it and get your official Arctic Circle Crossing Certificate!
