Activities

Experience the magic of Lapland with our guided Arctic adventures. Whether you’re snowshoeing through pristine fells, mushing your own husky team, or ice fishing in comfort, our small-group tours are designed to immerse you in the natural beauty of Finnish Lapland.

  • Expert local guides
  • Small groups for a personal experience.

Wilderness snowshoeing

In the deep snow you can’t walk with your normal shoes. You will sink in and get stuck. With snowshoes you can go anywhere! It is a perfect way to go on an adventure during the winter.


We will go to Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park where you will learn how to use the snowshoes. We will then walk into the wilderness.
The National Park is an ancient mountain chain that millions of years ago was as high as the Alps. What we have left of those mountains are the mystical Pallas fells. You will enjoy the breathtaking views that the national park offers while you learn about the nature and culture of the area.


We will prepare lunch in a small hut around an open fire. From this hut we will start ascending above the tree line to see even more amazing views. If there is someone in your group that is physically not fit enough to ascend the fell it is okay to wait in the hut around the warming fire until we return with the rest.

The duration of this activity is approximately 4-5 hours

Please note that this activity requires some physical effort from the participants.

  • Snowshoes included
  • Lunch prepared on open fire included

Husky Safari

A team of huskies pull you across snowy forests and frozen swamps. The dogs love it as they were born to do it. There is something very magical in exploring the wilderness with a pack of dogs pulling your sled.


You will get your own team of huskies that you are in charge of. I will show you how to drive the team. Basically the dogs do most of the work but you are in charge of their speed and breaking. Don’t worry, it is quite simple. You will share one sled with another person from your group. One will be driving and the other one will be sitting as a passenger. Halfway through the safari you will change places. After the safari you will get to meet some of the dogs and take photos. 


Maximum number of guests in this safari is 8. On a normal husky safari there can be as many as 24 guests and 12 dogteams at the same time. When one team has a problem the others need to wait. With a small group the quality of the tour is just so much better.
Duration of this activity is about 2,5 hours.
The driver must be over 13 years old.

The safari is approximately 15km. 

  • Shared sled
  • Small groups!

Luxury Ice Fishing

Ice fishing is the most Finnish thing you can do in Finland. When you understand ice fishing you have dug very deep into the essence of Finnish people.

The basics are simple. You need a frozen lake. About 5 centimetres of ice is enough to carry you. On a normal winter we have about 60 centimetres in Lapland. To get through the ice you will need an ice drill. Then just a rod and a worm and you are set. You sit on the beautiful frozen lake, enjoy the nature and relax your mind. It is almost like meditation.

There are plenty of different species of fish on the lake. Fish does not get fresher than this, and it never tastes as good as when you have caught it yourself.

Why do we call it Luxury Ice fishing? Its because we go to the best fishing spots with a snowmobile and a sled, we have an amazing spacious ice fishing tent with a wood burning stove that keeps it very warm. You can even fish inside the tent.  That is why the fishing is enjoyable even if there would be a snowstorm outside.

Duration of this activity is approximately 3-4 hours

  • Warm ice fishing tent
  • Add lunch as an extra

We will open the sales for the activities closer to winter

This depends where you are staying. If you are staying in one of our accommodations then transportation is included for you. Then the meeting point is in front of the reception. If not, then for the Wilderness snowshoeing the meeting point is in front of Hotel Pallas, Husky Safari in Särkijärvi and Luxury Ice Fishing in front of our reception in Muotkavaara.

Warm clothes depending on the weather. You can rent thermal clothing from us. For the Wilderness Snowshoeing the optimal clothing is warm but breathable clothing. Most of our guests rent thermal clothing from us and are just fine with them by opening the zippers if it gets too hot.

Yes! For you there is also lunch, transportation and thermal clothing included.
