This small-group tour from Explore Worldwide centres on Inari, a quiet village 120 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The itinerary offers a slow and steady introduction to the winter wilderness around the third largest lake in Finland. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing come first: traditional ways to navigate a Narnia-like landscape of rolling hills and frozen waterways, eased by hot drinks and local guides.
Journeys
Midway through the trip a riverside walk on the Juutua Trail includes a riverside barbecue and an afternoon at the home of Tuula, a Sami reindeer herder, where traditional clothing and reindeer crafts are on display. The highlight, husky sledding at a Green Key eco-certified farm, comes with an evening chance to spot the aurora borealis away from light pollution.
The last day is left free for quieter pursuits, such as a visit to the local Sami Museum or a lakeside sauna, with optional snowmobile excursions for those seeking a bit more pace. This is a well-paced introduction to the Arctic, paced for time away from the crowds and close to nature.
