most likely at the hours around 21:00 and midnight. For sure you have

been wondering what the Auroras are and how come they are visible only in the

north. Tonight you will get the answers to all these questions! At our lake-side

sighting location you have snowshoes available, in case you wish to walk further out

on the frozen lake and have a 360 degrees vision on the sky.

Day 3: Dec 24. Husky Farm Visit And Safari

Husky Safari

Pick up time: Morning

A short transfer takes you to the husky farm, where the enthusiastic arctic sled dogs greet

you with barking and jumping - as if they were saying, come on, let’s go. Huskies are

passionate about running and that is why they are eager to take off with you in their sledge.

But first things first: instructions on safety and driving. You and a friend are sharing a team

of huskies and can take turns in mushing (driving) and being a passenger.

The route of 14-18 km (depending on weather and snow conditions as well as driving skills)

takes you through an enchanted winter landscape. There will be stops when you can

change places as musher and passenger. You will also have some photogenic moments

midst the stunning nature and with the beautiful dogs. Once they have ran off some

energy, they are calmer and let you enjoy the silent drive.

Back at the farm we will gather around the camp fire to hear the mushers tell about life

with huskies. You will of course also have time to cuddle and pat your newfound friends

before it is time to leave the husky farm. Duration 2 hours

Includes:

• Transfers to/from Rovaniemi.

• Safety- and driving instructions.

• 30-45 minute drive with a husky sled (2 adults and max 2 children per sled).

• Hot Juice and cookies.

• Arctic outer clothing, shoes, gloves, socks, hats.

• Informative talk about huskies.

Snowmobile Safari

Experience a thrilling, unforgettable trip riding a snowmobile. This is probably the best way

to enjoy the beautiful nature of Lapland that surrounds Rovaniemi.

Enjoying the ride after the briefing, we ride behind our guide on snowy hillsides and in

forests crossing frozen rivers and swamps. See a plenty of nature during this half day trip

into the wilds! You may drive or sit as a passenger as the snowmobiles are equipped with a

passenger seat, too. Speed over rolling fells, carve across the ice of frozen lakes, and sprint

through snow-laden woods as you absorb the chill Arctic air. This safari is suitable for all

people who want to experience the nature and modern snowmobiles.

Our snowmobiles are the newest model of Lynx Adventurer ACE snowmobiles, modern,

silent, ecologic and very easy to drive. Transfers from your hotel to the starting point and

back, all equipment, winter clothes and boots and are included. Warm beverages and

snacks are offered during the safari.

Santa Claus Village

After memorable Snowmobile safari you will be transferred to Santa Claus Village and you

will have all your afternoon there till you meet your driver.

You can meet Santa Claus and cross the magical Arctic Circle every day at the Santa Claus

Village in Rovaniemi. There are many souvenir shops as well as Santa’s Main Post Office,

programme service companies and cafes and restaurants in the Santa Claus Village. And of

course, Santa is there too, in his chamber every day of the year.

The Arctic Circle is a circle of latitude that runs 66°33′45.9″ north of the Equator. It marks

the southernmost latitude where the sun can stay continuously below or above the horizon

for 24 hours – these phenomena are known as the Midnight Sun in the summer and the

Polar Night (“Kaamos”) in the winter.

In Rovaniemi, the Arctic Circle runs through Santa Claus Village, located eight kilometers

north of the city Centre, where it is clearly marked. Santa Claus Village in Lapland is a

popular place to cross the Arctic Circle: here the line is marked, and you can even get a

certificate confirming the feat.
