Arctic Circle Winter Escape
Escape to the untouched wilderness of Finnish Lapland on this four-night short winter break and explore the highlights above the Arctic Circle. Begin your journey in Tromsø, Norway, before heading across the border to the remote village of Kilpisjärvi - perched at the tip of Finland’s “arm.”

Whether you're seeking adventure or simply soaking in the serenity of the snowy wilderness, this journey offers a perfect balance of excitement and tranquillity.
Tour Itinerary
Fly to Tromsø airport, pick up your car hire and drive to Kilpisjärvi (journey is approx. 2.5 hours), a lively little village at the top of Finland's "arm" just across the Norwegian border. On arrival, check in at the new design hotel Santa's Hotel Rakka for four nights. (B)
Start your day by unwinding at your hotel before setting off in the afternoon for an exhilarating snowmobile adventure. Journey to the spectacular point where Sweden, Finland, and Norway meet, departing from the picturesque and authentic village of Kilpisjärvi in Finnish Lapland. In the evening, step outside your hotel and look out for the elusive aurora borealis. (B)
Today, explore the Finnish tundra on foot by joining a guided soft-adventure snowshoe hike through the snowy landscape of Kilpisjärvi, near Saana Mountain. The Sámi people, the indigenous inhabitants of northern Scandinavia, believe that Saana is a sacred mountain. This adventure is perfect for beginners, and hiking both uphill and downhill can be surprisingly enjoyable, as snowshoes float effortlessly even in deep snow. In the evening, retreat back to your hotel or perhaps stay out and search once more for the northern lights. (B)
Why not book an excursion and enjoy a husky safari through the Finnish wilderness, marvel at the snow-covered scenery whilst being pulled in a sleigh by a reindeer or try your luck at ice fishing? Contact your Norway/Finland travel specialist for more information and suggestions. (B)
After breakfast, drive back to Tromso airport, drop off your car hire and fly back to the UK. Alternatively, ask your Norway/Finland specialist to add some extra time in vibrant Tromsø. (B)
