You’ll enjoy a unique experience through the snow-covered forests and across the frozen lake on the outskirts of Rovaniemi, surrounded by nature.

They’ll stay warm in a covered sledge behind the guide!

The activity also includes a special dip in a wetsuit in the icy sea water – it’s like floating on ice! An activity that’s even suitable for children! The tour lasts a full day, departing from Rovaniemi and including a buffet lunch halfway through at a local Swedish restaurant on the riverbank – a charming stop in Swedish Lapland.
