Hidden Gems Places To Visit in Lapland, Finland

1. 5.0 Maglelin Experience (89 reviews)
   - Husky sled ride (20km)
   Ski & Snow Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   Truly amazing experience! You really feel connected with nature during this smooth sled ride pulled by 6 (real) huskies, even though they do not look like the ones from the Disney channel as they are bred for their power and stamina, they are so cute and are made to do this. Afterwards we talked a bit with the guide in his wooden cabin with the open fire and you can really feel that he cares about his dogs. The dogs are also used for longer tours (competitions) and are in top shape! A must do if you go to Lapland! See more..
   
2. 5.0 Rami's Huskies (88 reviews)
   - 5km husky ride at twilight
   Ski & Snow Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   Rami and his team were fantastic and very welcoming. It was evident that they cared about their huskies and they were natural hosts which made the whole experience amazing for all of us. The weather on our trip was stunning but absolutely freezing (painfully so) meaning we did not wish for more than the 5km and were really glad to retreat to their hut and camp fires! In warmer weather a longer ride might be preferable but we had a great time. (4x adults) See more..
   
3. 5.0 Husky Ranch Lapland (84 reviews)
   - Amazing Husky experience in the serenity of Lapland
   Ski & Snow Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   Visiting a Husky Ranch and riding the sled was just the dream of one of us, but caught us both once we were standing on the sled behind our lovely team of 6 dogs. We didn’t know what to expect, so we were very positively surprised to find ourselves making the dogs ready for our ride - or actually their ride, it felt - and helping Juho with getting ready for the trip. Both Juho and Hanna were super friendly and professional, also the dogs seemed to welcome us most friendly. We think that the dogs can’t have a better place to stay than this farm. Also the atmosphere was very relaxed and calm from the beginning, there was no rush nor pressure on schedule. Thank you for this amazing trip, even though it was just 4h, it was definitely the highlight of our week and made us excited for more adventures like this. Peter and Karo See more..

   - Incredible high speed experience in nature. Blissful.
   Nature & Wildlife Tours • Horseback Riding Tours
   
   
   Well organised snowmobile experience. Great briefing by Yannick. I never felt, at any point, I didnt know what to do. So beautiful, riding on the frozen river taking in the scenery and wildlife. This experience will live for me forever. It was nice to experience going full speed on these incredible machines. With a bit of respect for the danger, you can have a lot of fun. The acceleration of the machines was a highlight for me as well as seeing the sle dogs at their camp. The views were incredible too. Thanks again Yannick. See more..
   
6. 5.0 Wolverine Fell Wilderness and Nature (77 reviews)
   - Love love love!
   Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   I have traveled to 76 countries and 7 continents, and this ranks among my all time favorite travel experiences. First of all, the meeting place at the reindeer farm is located in a beautiful area— a real “middle of nowhere” vibe, in the best possible way. My friend and I did the reindeer/ice fishing/snow-shoeing combo. I didn’t see this trio combined by any other outfitter. Petra, our leader, is a real gem. She’s got a fantastic sense of humor and banters effortlessly with her guests. The entire program was perfect— nothing lasted too short or too long. Everything was just the right amount of time. Lunch was delicious too! The reindeer are beautiful!! Sledding through the majestic winter surroundings was surreal, and something I’ll always remember. An absolutely magical experience.

   Nature & Wildlife Tours
   
   
   Kirsti was our guide. She helped us with the warm clothes, tought us how to ride the sledge and handle the dogs. It was a very exciting and fun 1 hr ride through the forest and frozen river. Saw a bunch of wild reindeers. Very professional company. Would highly recommend. See more..
   
8. 5.0 Sisu Outdoor (69 reviews)
   - Amazing service - friendly personal and very helpful.
   Sunday: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Ski & Snow Tours • Bike Tours • Eco Tours
   
   
   Amazing service - friendly personal and very helpful. Initially visited for some help with directions to another trip we had booked. The gentleman I saw was so nice - he called a taxi for us as we misjudged how far away the venue was and also tried to call the venue to say we'd be late. We decided to return and hire bikes a few days later and hadn't made a reservation but the same gentleman saw to us and managed to secure the last 3 bikes. This gentleman was so so helpful and showed us a few trails we could follow. Would highly recommend and one of the friendliest places you could go for customer service! Brilliant place.

10. 5.0 Kota-Husky (57 reviews)
    - Unmissable!
    Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    This is really an unmissable adventure if you are in Finland in the winter. Lauri’s passion for his animals is clear and it is wonderful to just spend time with the huskies even when not sledding. I highly recommend taking a longe trip into Riisitinturi if you can - the change in scenery is breathtaking. Driving a sled is much harder than it looks but great fun to have a go! The dogs are probably used to inexperienced drivers and will see you right! Dress warmly and make sure you cover up with their blanket…. The dog go to the toilet…. a lot…..at speed…. right at face level See more..
    
11. 5.0 All Huskies (57 reviews)
    - Must do in Lapland
    Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    What a great experience. Really enjoyed. We chose this place as it was a local run place that seemed like they really looked after their dogs. And Paulina confirmed this for us during our visit. She was very informative and provided lots of information about the dogs and their routines and their summer plans. It was a thrilling time, being on the sled with the huskies. They provide you with overalls - we wore these over our sallopettes and snow jackets. They also gave us boots and gloves. I would definitely recommend a neck warmer/face covering for this activity as during the husky run, it does get very cold and my eyelashes froze over. After the activity we were able to go and meet the puppies which were very excitable and cute. Thank you for a lovely experience. See more..
    
12. 5.0 Adventure by Design - Private Day Tours (55 reviews)
    - First time snow shoeing
    Temporarily closed - Closed until further notice Private Tours
    
    
    Couple of weeks ago we’ve been snowshoeing for the first time in life in a tour organized by Adventure by Design to Tsahkal lake. And everything was perfect from the very beginning to the end. Our guide was friendly and thoughtful, the lunch in the wilderness hut just perfect, and Gareth kept a relaxed atmosphere with nice talks and jokes on the way up to Tsahkal. The snow shoeing itself was wonderful, we also had the luck of having a sunny day so the view was really breathtaking. On the way back, we experienced a silent walk, a more than welcomed meditation. Funny thing, 20 m away from the final point back, I realized how right was Gareth at the beginning when he said that everybody falls once . Thank you Adventure by Design for this great experience! Highly recommend them for your activities in Kilpisjarvi, they do an amazing job! See more..

    Amazing time with wonderful hosts in this winter wonderland! Every day was a different adventure.

We rode snowmobiles, had an open fire lunch near a frozen lake and even fed reindeer (very calm animals!). Truly a one-of-a-kind trip that me and my family will remember forever! And the crew at XWander were extremely nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back! See more..

    Gear Rentals • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Kayaking & Canoeing
    
    
    We had a perfect day on the snow mobile I’ve fishing safari with our three children aged 6, 12 and 13. This is a small family run business and it feels very personal, our guide was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was only the five of us and one couple but this is a small group company and it felt very special. The route for the snowmobiles took us through beautiful forests to the lake and home via the hill view of the sunset. At the lake our host taught us how to drill the ice and fish. He also chatted to our kids while we made a fire on the ice and made us sausages and hot juice. I couldn’t recommend this company more highly. See more..

Our guide Erik was brilliant really helpful and patient in getting us ready to drive the snow mobiles, great with our little girl who got a little cold getting her hand warmers sorted so she warmed up quickly, and an excellent guide at the Snow Village having helped build it. The snowmobile ride was great fun, with beautiful scenery, we went at a pace that suited us, and had plenty of time to look around the Snow Village before heading back. We would highly recommend Due North, professional, friendly, excellent itineries and friendly knowledgeable guides. See more..

    - Great place to enjoy nature

The day really couldnt have gone better, time just flew by. Highly recommended! See more..

It was definitely the highlight of my trip and I highly recommend his tours for anyone interested in exploring the natures in Kittilä. See more..

    - Great fatbiking tour in the snow
    Bike Tours • Gear Rentals
    
    
    We had a wonderful 2-hour tour with Juuso. We both have mountainbiking experience but this was our first time riding in the snow. We really enjoyed it! The trails were great and so was our guide. Trails were not technical (at least not in the conditions we encountered them, relatively hard with fresh snow from the night before) but certainly scenic and enjoyable. The e-fatbikes were in great condition and the tour provided good value for money. Would highly recommend! See more..
    
25. 5.0 Pyhätunturi (32 reviews)
    - Chilled and friendly staff
    Ski & Snowboard Areas
    
    
    Pyhä is a true Lappish ski resort surrounded by the natural beauty of fell landscapes in the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Here reindeers roam free and Northern lights dance in the sky.

Ski area is totally renewed with a superfast 6 person chair lift, new Piste Palander (FIS) Slope and improved beginners’ area. Pyhä is easily reached from Rovaniemi.

    - Awesome experience in Lapland that can not be missed
    Sunday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Safaris • Adrenaline & Extreme Tours • Ski & Snow Tours
    
    
    This was an awesome experience. The track was challenging, the karts have enough power and the staff is great always there to help you when you need but also to prepare the track once it starts getting too bumpy. It should be included on a visit to Lapland the same way the husky experience is. See more..
    
27. 5.0 Syvasenvaara Fell (30 reviews)
    - Great view over Rovaniemi
    Caverns & Caves
    
    
    This is one of my favorite hiking places in Rovaniemi. It is a hill top of a fell, called Syväsenvaara, from which you can have a panoramic view over the whole city! You can go here by daytime and see the sunset (especially beautiful in winter), but also at night time to see Northern Lights (cause there is no artificial lights). There is also an observation tower, which helps viewing. It is free to attend any time. The hill top is situated right above Santa Park attraction. Do get to the top of the hill, you head up from the parking place – you will see the trail, easy to find. You might rarely bump into some locals there, who are walking their dogs :) See more..
    
28. 5.0 Angeli Reindeer Farm (29 reviews)
    - A must do experience, interesting, thought provoking & unique.
    Sunday: Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    We had such a lovely, interesting & cultural 2-hour visit to Angeli Reindeer Farm in January 2023. Our trip was part of a package organised by our Hotel, there were just 6 of us on the visit & it felt very personal. Anne was very welcoming, spoke excellent English, Finish & Sami & was so knowledgable. We were able to feed some of the reindeer & see them in their natural habitat. Not only did she tell us about the reindeer, herding & how they live, but also a lot about the local nature, the area and Sami culture. It was very thought-provoking. We were welcomed into her home for a hot drink & discussed some more about the local culture, shown traditional boots, pouches & other handicrafts she had cleverly made also. I would highly recommend visiting, thank you for your hospitality Anne & family. See more..

    What a wonderful trip to Pallas-Ylläs national park! Cant wait to go back next fall. Our two day trip included canoeing and flyfishing in the Äkäsriver followed by overnight hike to Pyhätunturi. This was our first trip to the wilderness and were pleased to have such a great guide as Jussi leading the trip. His passion, professionalism, experience topped with great sense of humor showed through and made the trip even better. Jussi was also very flexible with timing and other arrangements. With that said I would highly recommend Jussi to anyone looking for a similar experience. See more..

    Incredible experience, with a staff completely dedicated to its job and to the dogs wellness. A sporty ride where you drive your sledge and the dogs by your own, completely stimulating and regenerative! The environment is insane, in the middle in the nature. After the ride, a long time to take care of the dogs and to help the staff. I definitely must recommend you this place! :) Thank you so much to this very very nice French team ❤️ See more..
    
34. 5.0 Tatuka Reindeerfarm (24 reviews)
    - Wonderful day, highlight of our stay
    Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    We had an absolutely wonderful day here. We went on a ride and had soup and icecream afterwards. The snack during the ride was great too. The human team were all wonderful but special thanks to Simi and Kati who were beyond kind and friendly. The reindeer were well respected and cared for. I don't have adequate words to describe how magical the ride was. Sometimes you book things and wonder if it will live up to expectations, this surpassed them. We went with a 5 year old who says it was the favorite part of her holiday and I think it would be hugely romantic for couples too. Some tips: seems obvious but arrive a little early for your ride as is takes time to get into the thermal overalls. I would highly recommend hand and toe warmers particularly for children. Our day it was -22. See more..
    
35. 5.0 Wild Motion Siberian Huskies (21 reviews)
    - Great Wild Outdoor Husky Tour in the Lapland Wilderness
    Night Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    Wild Motion by Lapland Safari Husky Tour We really enjoyed our 10km husky tour. 5km really is too short for the experience. Lapland Safari tour brings you with a bus and you have 40 min to enjoy the beauty of Lapland and the National Park until you arrive at the Husky Farm. When we visited they had Husky puppy’s !!!! And we do love puppy's. The crew is professional and very friendly without any of the modernism commercialisms of now a days. For example they stopped during the tour just to make pictures from you in the scenic white wonderland of Lapland without asking any fee for it. See more..

    I did not have any pre booking done and just walked in to the LuontoLoma Pro Safaris office near by our accommodation. Service was really good and helpful. They managed to provide bicycles and kayaks and canoe for two adults and two kids. Bicycles were in top quality, one electric fat bike and three full suspension bicycles. We did cycling trip in a one day around Saariselkä and then canoe trip in another day in Lutto river. Lutto river nature, trip and rapids were really nice and manageable. Our 12 years son managed all the way without any major issues. See more..

Had to buy cocktails for everyone because the last 10 minutes was... really productive ! On a passé un très bon moment. Expérience chaudement recommandée.

42. 4.5 Ivalo Safaris (76 reviews)
    - Great Experience, Beautiful Memories
    Sunday: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM Ski & Snow Tours • Night Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours
    
    
    I had great time in Ivalo. Most of all safaris I like snowmobile riding. That was really cool! If I had it at the beginning of my stay I’d definitely request more of it. Husky safari also was very nice, however, they are not very fast, and in low temperature I couldn’t take for longer than 2 hours. Reindeers are quite slow, but it’s a beautiful experience, too. Snow tank is the best for Aurora hunting, as it’s warm inside and it’s got a glass ceiling, which allows watching the Northern Lights for longer. There’s also skiing, horse riding. No one can get bored there, especially if you like winter and you are not afraid of low temperatures! See more..
    
43. 4.5 Inari Reindeer Farm (73 reviews)
    - Fantastic Experience
    Spent 1-2 hours Farms

    We took a snowmobiling tour with them, the Tour of Kilpisjärvi. It was one of the most incredible tours I’ve ever been on. It was very cold and even though they supplied all the thermal gear, sometimes it would still get cold, but it was all worth it. We would definitely book them again! See more..

Upon arrival in Saariselka they supplied a snowmobile suit, gloves, boots and a balaclava to use for the whole week. Ice fishing provided no fish but did provide a great experience with snowmobiling, drilling the hole for fishing and enjoying hot juice, hot sandwiches and sausages over an open fire in a comfortable hut. First excursion to view the Northern lights on snowmobiles wsa cloudy and so no lights but still a great adventure on snowmobiles. The other 2 excursions, via a van to a remote lake and snowshoeing did provide great views of the Northern Lights. All the guides spoke great English, provided welcomed hot juices and food and took pictures that we could download. This was very important as my camera did not capture the lights that well. You must have a tripod and a DSLR that allows 30 second exposures at small F Stop values (2.n - 3.n) to take your own successfully. See more..
