Rovaniemi · LAPLAND SUMMER AND MIDNIGHT SUN TOURS
From May the snow is gone, the huskies run on wheels and the sun does not set. The 4 below are the warm-season days worth booking, priced lower than their winter equivalents and far less crowded.
Travel from Rovaniemi to a secluded husky farm, learn how to handle your own team, and drive about 5 km through golden autumn forest. The four-hour outing includes pickup, a guide, time with the dogs, and a seasonal BBQ. Groups are capped at eight.
“This was a wonderful time. Mehmet was a great tour guide and it was a great time with these incredible dogs.”
Travel from Rovaniemi to a local husky farm with an English-speaking guide such as Erika, Francesco, or Gianluigi. Ride a husky team through autumn forest, meet the dogs, learn about breeding and racing, then warm up with blueberry juice and gingerbread.
“It was a new experience for us and we enjoyed the ride but it was over priced. We rode for about 30 mins and then had a light snack of ginger biscuits with hot blueberry juice along with some chitchats. The rest was an hour driving to the husky place and another hour going back. The total was 2 hrs on the road and 1 hr for the activity itself.”
You’ll ride a guide-steered wheeled cart pulled by huskies for 3 km through Apukka’s autumn forests and fields. Expect English guidance, dog time, hot drinks, light snacks, and transfers from Rovaniemi or Santa Claus Village. The ride runs at 10°C or colder.
Leave Rovaniemi for a quiet Lappish forest, walk to a clear lake, and float in a warm survival suit beneath the summer midnight sun. Your English-speaking guide, possibly GiGi or Chris, handles the outing, followed by hot blueberry juice and gingerbread on shore.
“Overall this was a fantastic experience and GiGi was an outstanding guide. Floating freely on the lake was incredibly relaxing. The suits were a little challenging to get in and out of, but it's so worth it. I would have given this tour 5 stars if they had facilities for changing into the suits. Also I think the company should provide their guide with a phone to take pictures of the participants rather than using a phone of a participant.”
Pick a machine, an animal or a direction out of town.
