Snowmobile Safari »
This is a chance to drive out into the snowy wilderness surrounding the village of Saariselkä. You are met at your hotel and then taken to the Safari centre, where you are provided with a helmet and balaclava. The snowmobiles are just outside and, before you get the chance to start up, there is a full safety brief along with instructions on how to drive. Children travel in a sleigh which is pulled by a separate snowmobile and adults can drive their own snowmobile (if booked with a single driver supplement). The convoy then starts, driving along recognised snowmobile tracks out in to the beautiful, snowy and natural environment of Lapland. - Total duration is 1- 1½ hours - Snowmobile ride time is 45 minutes - Finish with a drink of hot berry juice.
Adult Snowmobile Safari »
This is a more adventurous snowmobile trip for adults only with a chance to enjoy some adrenaline fuelled fun, speeding through the forests and snow-covered fields on what many people call the Arctic’s answer to quad biking. There is a full briefing on procedures and safety before starting. There are usually 2 adults per snowmobile although if a single driver is booked then you can take control and drive alone. At the mid-way point, there is a stop for cookies and hot berry juice, where the Safari leader can make a fire, but most groups wish to continue and choose to have a shorter stop and more time on the snowmobiles. - Total duration is 2 hours - Snowmobile ride time is between 1- 1½ hours
Northern Lights Adventure »
This is an early evening snowmobile expedition in search of the mystical Northern Lights. It is a short transfer (or walk) from your hotel to the meeting place where you receive a balaclava and helmet. The snowmobiles are then all ready and waiting for you. Full instructions and a safety brief are given before starting off. Children travel in a sleigh which is pulled by a separate snowmobile and adults share a snowmobile unless a single driver supplement has been paid. You drive the snowmobiles off together in convoy, looking out for any colour and movement in the sky. There is a break for hot berry juice and cookies by an open fire and your leader will talk more about the phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis and the myths behind it before returning to Saariselkä. - Total duration is 2 hours - Includes driving the snowmobile for 1 hour - 30 minute midway stop for hot berry juice, cookies and a story.
Husky Heaven »
If our included husky sled-ride whets your appetite, this additional trip gives you longer to feel the thrill of driving your own team of huskies. You are picked up from your hotel and then driven to the husky farm where full instruction is given on how to drive the sled and command the huskies. The sleds are driven by one adult who controls the brake whilst another adult and child or 2 children sit in the sled. Hot berry juice is provided during the visit and if there are 2 adults who want to drive then there is a change to swap drivers. - Total duration is 2 hours - Husky drive time is 30 minutes
Downhill Skiing »
Saariselkä’s ski-slopes are ideal for beginners, or for intermediates wanting a quick ‘blast’! (Only available on my Santa Spectacular 4-day breaks.) - A two hour session - Includes equipment hire and lift-pass
Snow-shoeing »
This is a lovely way to explore the tranquillity of Lapland’s pristine winter wonderland and perfect for families who love to be active and outdoors. Meet your activity leader at your hotel and then you are taken and fitted with the snowshoes which go over your boots. The snowshoes have a wide surface and small spikes to make walking on the snow easy and even on soft snow away from the paths. The excursion is guided and full instructions are given so you can explore the local area. - Total duration is 1 hour - Snowshoeing 30 minutes
Cross-country skiing »
Experience the beauty of Saariselkä’s surrounding landscape, skiing along well prepared tracks through the pure snowy whiteness of Lapland.

Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for all your help with booking our Lapland trip that we went on last month. All 3 of us had the most amazing time, memories that will last a lifetime. All your help, tips and advice were great so just wanted to say thank you.
I've had lots of people asking who I booked with as they've seen my photos so I've passed your contact details onto about 5 people, telling them how helpful you were, hope that's ok.
Feel free to forward this email to your line manager/manager so they can see what a great job you are doing.
Thanks again.
