๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 1: ๐ผ๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ก & ๐ข๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐ฅ As you arrive at Kittilรค Airport (KTT) , the crisp Arctic air greets you, signaling the beginning of an enchanting winter adventure โ๏ธ! There are direct flights via Helsinki from all around Europe. But it is also possible to book a flight to Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) and take a bus up north. This takes about 3 hours. If you decide to book a flight to Rovaniemi, please make sure not to land later than 15:00 so you can make it to Kittilรค in time and I can meet you there. I will land at Kittilรค Airport at around 17:30 o`clock in the evening and pick up our rental car. If you arrive around the same time, I can meet you at the airport for pick-up. If you arrive earlier, please make your way from the airport to Sirkka City centre, which is only a 15-20 minutes bus ride. There, you can warm up in a cafe and explore the city. I can recommend making a visit to "Arcandia", an arctic park, or to go on your first guided tour, if you have a full day. Once I receive the car, I will pick you up from a designated location afterwards. As a group, we gather in a rustic Finnish restaurant for a meal and to get to know each other before we make our way to our chalet in the middle of a beautiful wonderland winter forest. ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 2: ๐๐ก๐ซ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ Elves Village is a place that embodies the magic of Christmas all year round. This enchanting small village is a must-visit in this region, offering a range of activities and attractions. We will explore Santaโs Visitor Center, which includes a cafe, gift shop, and information point. In the evening, we will get access to the Elves Adventure Village and can enjoy a walk around it and take some snowy photos. There is the possibility of enjoying a wood-burning sauna and ice swimming for an additional fee as well. If the weather in the morning allows, we drive to the Lainio Snow Village which is fully made of ice and snow and completely rebuilt from scratch every year with a changing theme and stunning ice art. 2025 year`s theme is "underwater world" so we can expect to see whales, fish and unearth some more surprising art. After walking around the ice rooms and exhibition halls, we can enjoy a drink and meal at the ice bar. ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ โ

๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 3: ๐๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ & ๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐จ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ After breakfast, we embark on an unforgettable day trip to the Samiland Exhibition followed by two short but breathtaking snowshoe hikes to the Levi Peak, where we can take some mesmerizing photos in front of the Santa's Cabin, and then a hike up to Kรคtka Hill (~500m for around 6 km) with its panoramic views. This day is a mix of cultural immersion and natural beauty, perfect for those seeking adventure and insight into the unique heritage of the indigenous Sami, Europeโs only indigenous people. The Samiland Exhibition is part of the UNESCO Observatory Cultural Village programme and spans both indoor and outdoor spaces. One of the cutest experiences there is, in my opinion, the opportunity to meet the reindeer. ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 4: ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐จ During the day hours, activities such as a tour on a husky sled (which is really a special experience, believe me!), or reindeer safaris, skiing and snowboarding. In the evening, it is advisable to go on a Northern Lights tour to maximize the chances of seeing this natural phenomenon. Many tour operators in the area offer guided tours that include photography tips and warm drinks, making the experience even more special. I leave this day free at your expense, so you can enjoy some extra activities that you are interested in and make the most of your time here in Finland :)! ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ โ

๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 5: ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ข๐ & ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ Today, we drive back to the airport where we will return the rental car and take a bus from there to Rovaniemi. The ride is somewhere between 2 and 3 hours and we can relax while glancing out the window into the sleepy winter landscape we pass along our way. Upon arrival in Rovaniemi we store our big luggage in a designated safe locker and make our way to the most famous home of Santa. The Village is nestled right on the Arctic Circle, making it a must-visit for all Lapland enthusiasts and travelers. The symbolic act of crossing the Arctic Circle (although we will have been far above that point at the beginning of our trip ;-)) will be granted with a certificate to remember. We will also visit the Santa Claus Office, where you can meet Santa himself and leave a letter with wishes in the Santa Clausโ Main Post Office. If we have some time in the afternoon, we will also make a stop at the Arktikum Museum, an iconic underground museum & science center on the Arctic region & the history of Finnish Lapland. In the late afternoon around 17:00 we board our train and make ourselves comfortable in the sleeper cabins for the polar journey to Helsinki. ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ โ

๐ฟ๐๐ฎ 6: ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฎ & ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ It`s time to say farewell. The train will reach Helsinki Train Station in the morning around 6:30AM. It means you have enough time to catch a flight back home or stay a little bit longer to explore the capital of Finland. I am sure the 6 days will pass in no time and it soon be time to say farewell to our newly found travel buddies and friends. I really hope to meet you very soon on this Finnish Lapland adventure ๐๐! ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฟ โ
