6 Day Finnish Lapland Itinerary, incl. Inari and Arctic Circle
Hotel Inari serves as the base for a six-day Lapland adventure along Lake Inari's shores. Daily activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and visits to Muddus Lake's reindeer farm, complemented by traditional sauna sessions and evening aurora watches.
- Day 1
Arrival in Inari
Take a 50-minute transfer from Ivalo Airport (IVL) to Inari. Book morning flights to make the most of limited daylight hours in winter. You'll stay at Hotel Inari on Lake Inari's shores, which gives you quick access to winter activities. Get settled and rest up before the 7 PM orientation meeting.
- Day 2
Snowshoeing Adventure
Get fitted for your winter gear in the morning. You'll keep this equipment for your entire stay. Head out for a 2-hour snowshoe trek through the boreal forest in the afternoon. The ground is mostly flat but deep snow makes it more challenging. Bring hand warmers and wear layers. After your trek, warm up in the hotel's complimentary sauna.
- Day 3
Sami Culture & Reindeer Experience
The morning is yours to explore Inari village or try cross-country skiing near the hotel. Visit Tuula's reindeer farm by Muddus Lake in the afternoon to learn about Sami culture, handicrafts, and reindeer herding. Bundle up extra warm near the lake. End your day with dinner at Restaurant Aurora, featuring local dishes like Arctic char and cloudberries.
- Day 4
Husky Safari & Northern Lights
Start your day with husky sledding. You'll learn the basics of mushing before leading your own dog team through the forest. Wear your thickest socks as standing still on the sled gets cold. At night, around 8:30 PM, go on a guided snowshoe trek to look for the Northern Lights. Bring a tripod for photos but remember that clear skies don't guarantee aurora sightings.
- Day 5
Juutua Trail & Cross-Country Skiing
Take a 3-hour hike along the 9km Juutua Trail in the morning. Stop for an outdoor BBQ with marshmallows provided by your guide. Pack extra snacks if you like. Try cross-country skiing in the afternoon. Don't stress about falling. The snow is soft, and you can focus on learning the basic "push and glide" technique on flat ground.
- Day 6
Departure
Have breakfast before taking the shuttle back to Ivalo airport. Try to book an afternoon flight. Morning roads can be icy, and the shuttle leaves 2 hours before flight time.
Lapland Winter Adventure
A cross-border 6-day expedition connects Finland and Sweden through Helsinki, Rovaniemi, and Kalix. Highlights include overnight train travel, husky sledding, reindeer safari, icebreaker cruise, and Northern Lights chase, with 4-star accommodations throughout at approx. $560 per day.
