Inspiration for a winter week

Arriving and settling in

Fly to Rovaniemi or Kuusamo and continue to the cottage. Arrange your hire car or transfer in advance and allow time for food shopping and the drive in winter conditions.

A husky safari

Book a trip directly with a provider. Ask which route, duration and participation requirements suit your group.

Snowshoeing and a sauna

Go snowshoeing on a suitable route, then relax in the sauna. Check opening hours if you would like to eat by the ski slopes.

Exploring by snowmobile

Choose a guided tour with a provider and follow the safety instructions. Check driving requirements, clothing and insurance in advance.

Kemijärvi and a quiet evening

Combine a visit to Kemijärvi with food shopping. If the sky is clear and dark, look out for the Northern Lights, but do not count on a sighting.

Trying cross-country skiing

Ask Suomu about suitable routes, equipment and any lessons available. Choose a distance that suits your experience and the weather.

A day on the slopes

Check Suomu's current opening hours, lift passes and lesson options. Book equipment and lessons in advance where needed.

The journey home

Follow the departure instructions in your booking and allow plenty of time for the drive to the airport. Ice fishing or a reindeer trip could also be an alternative for one of the earlier days.
