Salla is a small ski village in eastern Lapland It is not as known as the bigger ski villages and therefore less crowded. There are very high-class log apartments with 3 bedrooms in each located in a beautiful landscape a few kilometres outside the ski village. What the best, next to the cabins there is Salla Reindeer Park with full catering services as well as husky, snowshoeing and reindeer programs available within walking distance.  

In case your flight arrives early in Rovaniemi, a 2h visit in Santa Claus Village can easily be added for 255€/group.

Activities in Salla:

1. Reindeeer safari 3h (can also be taken in the evening at 18-21:00)

Our Northern Light hunting trip starts from the Reindeer Park after the darkness falls. In night time our reindeer are connected to each other so you don’t have to worry about anything else but enjoy the ride Our route, about 6 kilometres, passes through a snowy forest and open swamp areas. During the ride, we will stop at a corral, where we feed our female and calf reindeer. Halfway we will have a bit longer break and make a big fire next to a swamp. Red flames and open fire will make you feel warm and create a cozy atmosphere. Around the fire, you can enjoy hot berry juice or hot chocolate.
One can go a bit further from the fireplace, in complete darkness, and try to hunt the Northern Lights. Swamp opens to the north and there’s no light pollution so if you are lucky, that is a very good place to see the auroras.

2. Snowshoeing trip

This traditional way of moving in the snow is really fun and easy to learn. On the trip, you can advance on your own pace so you will have time to enjoy nature in peace. From the wintery forest, you will find lots of interesting things. Our guide will tell you about nature, animals and pretty much anything you want to ask. The tour will end in a Lappish hut where a 3-course dinner is served.
Base track is quite easy to pretty much everyone can do this trip. The walking distance is about 3 to 4 kilometres but can be adapted to the group.
