Travel Period
Would you like to spend your next holiday in Lapland, in a snow-covered village with a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights? Escape the festive rush and immerse your family in the magic of a true Arctic winter.
Äkäslompolo, Village of Seven Fells, sits 200 km above the Arctic Circle and offers a wide range of outdoor experiences in a truly unique setting. This charming small village is your home for the week; browse the local shops and warm up with a hot chocolate at the village cafe before heading back to your cabin.
You will stay in cabins or cabin apartments, each with their own fireplace and sauna. Savour hearty local food and join in some exhilarating winter activities, including husky and reindeer sledding, ice fishing, and snowmobiling.
The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly Santa Day. We'll spend it in a secret location, at the elves' home nestled in the heart of a magical forest. The day will be filled with fun winter activities, and each family will enjoy a private visit with Santa in his cosy cabin.
