6 Day Finnish Lapland Itinerary, incl. Inari and Arctic Circle
Hotel Inari serves as the base for a six-day Lapland adventure along Lake Inari's shores. Daily activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and visits to Muddus Lake's reindeer farm, complemented by traditional sauna sessions and evening aurora watches.
- Day 1
Arrival in Inari
- Day 2
Snowshoeing Adventure
Get fitted for your winter gear in the morning. You'll keep this equipment for your entire stay. Head out for a 2-hour snowshoe trek through the boreal forest in the afternoon. The ground is mostly flat but deep snow makes it more challenging. Bring hand warmers and wear layers. After your trek, warm up in the hotel's complimentary sauna.
- Day 3
Sami Culture & Reindeer Experience
The morning is yours to explore Inari village or try cross-country skiing near the hotel. Visit Tuula's reindeer farm by Muddus Lake in the afternoon to learn about Sami culture, handicrafts, and reindeer herding. Bundle up extra warm near the lake. End your day with dinner at Restaurant Aurora, featuring local dishes like Arctic char and cloudberries.
- Day 4
Husky Safari & Northern Lights
Start your day with husky sledding. You'll learn the basics of mushing before leading your own dog team through the forest. Wear your thickest socks as standing still on the sled gets cold. At night, around 8:30 PM, go on a guided snowshoe trek to look for the Northern Lights. Bring a tripod for photos but remember that clear skies don't guarantee aurora sightings.
- Day 5
Juutua Trail & Cross-Country Skiing
Take a 3-hour hike along the 9km Juutua Trail in the morning. Stop for an outdoor BBQ with marshmallows provided by your guide. Pack extra snacks if you like. Try cross-country skiing in the afternoon. Don't stress about falling. The snow is soft, and you can focus on learning the basic "push and glide" technique on flat ground.

Helsinki to Rovaniemi
Start at Heureka Science Center when it opens at 10 AM to avoid school groups. Later take the Santa Claus Express sleeper train for the 12-hour ride north. Book a private cabin well in advance since shared spaces fill up fast with families. Remember to bring snacks because the dining car doesn't stay open late.
- Days 3-4
Rovaniemi
Welcome to Santa's official hometown. Get to Santa Village before 10 AM to skip the longest lines. Take photos at the Arctic Circle line and stop by Santa's Post Office to mail cards. A recent visitor shared: "The elves at Santa's workshop kept the magic alive even for our teenagers - they actually played along!" The husky safari is unforgettable but cold. Wear the provided thermal suits since temperatures can drop to -20°C. You'll spend about 45 minutes sledding. At the reindeer farm you can feed the animals. Remember your camera but keep the batteries warm or they'll die quickly in the Arctic cold.
- Day 5
Levi and Halipuu Forest
The forest walk is beautiful but watch your step on slippery ground. Good winter boots are essential. Arctic cocooning lets you experience lying in the snow inside special thermal sleeping bags. It's more comfortable than it sounds. For Northern Lights viewing check Aurora forecast apps and be prepared to go out quickly when conditions look good.
- Day 6
Departure from Levi
Lapland Winter Adventure
A cross-border 6-day expedition connects Finland and Sweden through Helsinki, Rovaniemi, and Kalix. Highlights include overnight train travel, husky sledding, reindeer safari, icebreaker cruise, and Northern Lights chase, with 4-star accommodations throughout at approx. $560 per day.

- Swedish Lapland: The Northern Lights
This trip was one of the best I did in my life! The guides Ana and Carolina did a really great job with the trip and the organisation, as a participant, we only needed to follow them :) I also really liked the fact we did a tour of Stockholm and after Lapland, it was a complete tour, so thank you again !!
