Huskies, Reindeer & a Sky on Fire

Finnish Lapland in Winter with Intrepid, 8 days from $4,995pp

Step into a true winter wonderland on this journey through Finnish Lapland. After exploring Helsinki, board the Santa Claus Express overnight train to the Arctic Circle, then settle into a cosy guesthouse among the snowy fells of Yllästunturi. Race across the snow behind a team of huskies, meet reindeer at a local farm and warm up in a traditional smoke sauna, with an icy plunge if you dare. On clear nights, watch for the northern lights dancing overhead, before finishing in Rovaniemi, home of Santa Claus Village.

With Intrepid, you'll enjoy small-group adventures that bring you closer to the people, places and cultures you visit. Founded in Melbourne in 1989, Intrepid keeps groups small, usually 12 to 14 travellers, with expert local leaders sharing insider knowledge along the way. From street-food tours to homestays and off-the-beaten-track experiences, every trip is designed to travel responsibly, and Intrepid is proudly a certified B Corp.
