Lapland holiday, husky safari & log cottage

Description of Lapland holiday, husky safari & log cottage

This short Finnish Lapland holiday takes you into another world, staying in a wilderness cabin on the southern shores of Lake Inari, far up in the North of Finland. With trips throughout the winter, you will have a chance to immerse yourself in this region which is famously good for seeing the Northern Lights, otherwise known as the Aurora Borealis. If conditions are good, you can be lucky to see the Lights on several nights of this trip as the skies up here are so pollution free your chances are high.

As this area is also steeped in Sami tradition, we are able to partake in some exciting outdoor activities which are also very much tied in with this heritage, such as husky sledding, visiting a reindeer farm, snowshoeing and also cross country skiing across the lake and through snow blanketed forests. There will be two such excursions definitely included in this winter holiday package.

We will also visit the Siida Sámi Museum in Inari, as well as the Sámi parliament which are both wonderful ways to learn about the local culture, language and traditions. But for most visitors, the highlight of this trip is the night-time husky safari, pulled by 4-5 husky dogs through the clear and dark blue light of this wilderness region, in some of the most peaceful surroundings you could possibly imagine. You will get to care for your team overnight and also learn mushing skills, before tucking up in a wilderness cabin.

Note: Although this is a small group tour, we can also create a tailor made version for you. Please just ask for details.
