Welcome to the Arctic Circle – Winter

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

Experience, feel, and smell this place throughout our day-long tour by beginning the day 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 short sleigh ride pulled by reindeers and/or huskies, both included in the price. (Option for longer sleigh rides may be available at an additional cost.)

Look forward to meeting the Christmas legend himself at the Santa Claus Village. The Arctic Circle line is located right on the entrance of the village, and after you cross it, you can ask for your certificate.

Don't forget to stop at Santa Claus’s Post Office that provides a one-of-a-kind special delivery for Christmas with an official stamp. 

We kindly request you to include the FULL name of all participants when completing the booking. For children too young to wear snowshoes, sleds (toboggans) will be provided.
