Ice fishing, or as we say pilkki, is a popular hobby in Finland. This ice fishing trip heads to Lake Äkäslompolo, which locates in the heart of village. Once there, we put snowshoes on and search for suitable location for ice fishing. After we have drilled holes to the ice we sit back and see which brings the best catch, grubs or worms. During the trip we enjoy hot berry juice.
Duration: 2 hours

We drive by car about twenty minutes to meet reindeer, these adorable half-wild animals. After all the reindeer are harnessed, we sit down in sleighs and wrap ourselves in warm fur blankets.

After half an hour ride we enjoy homemade berry juice by an open fire in a Lappish tepee, kota, and hear
stories of reindeer and their annual cycle of life. You have also possibility take photos with your arctic
traveling companion.

The ancient Finns roamed the forests on wooden skis fashioned from birch and the Lapps sped across the snow in reindeer sleighs. Nowadays we head for the fells on snowshoes, following the gullies carved by the glaciers of the last Ice Age. For about three kilometres we head up through the rugged scenery of the Ylläs-Pallas National Park. This leisurely pace allows us time to observe the world around us, and with any luck, we may catch a
glimpse of the ancient spirits of Lapland.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Price: 49 € / adult and 34,30 € / child
At our destination, the Ylläs Husky farm, the husky guide will introduce us to the hundred Alaskan and Siberian huskies.

1500 tons of snow and 300 tons of ice are used every year to create the unique Lainio Snow Village. Artists from around the world spend many hours crafting the ice blocks into fantastic sculptures.
