Inari is located 300 km north of the Arctic Circle. It is a small village on the shores of the lake that bears the same name, known for being the center of Sami culture in Lapland. Its low light pollution enhances the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, which are said to appear around 200 nights a year. Let's hope for some luck during our stay... It is a perfect place to explore by snowmobile, husky sledding, snowshoeing, skiing... or simply relaxing in the sauna.

Buffet breakfast at the hotel. We will start our adventure in Lapland with a visit to a reindeer farm. Upon arrival at the farm, the Sámi herder will welcome us. We will have the opportunity to feed the reindeer and see the newborn calves that are born around May. We will end the visit with a sleigh ride. Each sleigh is pulled by a single reindeer, and each reindeer has its own name. This sleigh ride is ideal for enjoying the snowy landscape.

Day 3. Husky Sled Safari and Snowshoeing Activity.

Buffet breakfast. It's time to put on your thermal clothing again and enjoy an incredible day outdoors. In the morning, we will transfer to a husky farm. After visiting the farm, it's time to embark on a husky sled ride. These friendly animals will be waiting for us, jumping and barking, ready to pull the sleds. During this ride, each adult will have the opportunity to drive their own sled (2 people per sled, alternating the driver position: while one person drives, the other sits in the sled). These dogs resemble wolves, with their pointed ears, penetrating gaze, and pronounced snout. They can have one eye of each color. This is undoubtedly one of the best experiences to enjoy in Lapland. We will return to the hotel for lunch, and in the afternoon, we will continue with a fun activity loved by both adults and children. We will go snowshoeing, taking a leisurely walk to enjoy nature and observe the surroundings. We might come across animal tracks and be able to follow their trail. The rest of the afternoon is free.

Day 4. The big day has arrived! Snowmobile Excursion, Ice Fishing, and Meeting Santa Claus.

Buffet breakfast at the hotel. We will start another wonderful day of adventures in Lapland with one of the most spectacular excursions we can experience: a snowmobile ride. We will begin with driving instructions (which are very easy as snowmobiles do not have gears) before enjoying the power of these machines. The children will ride in a sled pulled by the guide's snowmobile through the snowy forests and frozen lakes. We will return to the hotel for lunch before engaging in the enjoyable activity of ice fishing. We will travel to a frozen lake where a local fisherman will teach us how to fish with nets under the ice. Each of us will have to drill a hole in the ice and then try our luck at fishing. The children, and even the young at heart, can have fun in the designated area for sledding down the snowy hills. We will return to the hotel and have free time until dinner. Later, the moment that the little ones have been waiting for will arrive: the meeting with Santa Claus. Each family will have a private time with this endearing character, where they can chat, give him their letters, take photos with him, and show him everything they have learned during this trip. Each child will receive a gift from Santa. Accommodation.


Day 5. Inari, Ivalo, Barcelona.

Buffet breakfast. Free time until the scheduled transfer. We cannot leave Lapland without experiencing a relaxing sauna. Saunas are a tradition in Finland.

Departure to Inari Airport. Check-in procedures and departure on a direct flight to Barcelona. Snack included onboard. Arrival and end of our adventure in Lapland.

Inari se encuentra a 300 km al norte del Círculo Polar Ártico. Es un pequeño pueblo a orillas del lago que lleva su mismo nombre, conocido por ser el centro de la cultura Sami en Laponia. Su baja contaminación lumínica favorece el posible avistamiento de Auroras Boreales, dicen que hacen acto de presencia 200 noches al año. A ver si hay suerte durante nuestra estancia… Un lugar perfecto para explorar en moto de nieve, trineos de huskies, raquetas de nieve, esquiando… o simplemente relajándote en la sauna.

Desayuno buffet. Toca ponerse de nuevo la ropa térmica para disfrutar de un día increíble al aire libre. Por la mañana nos trasladaremos a una granja de huskies. Tras la visita de la granja ha llegado el momento de empezar el paseo en trineo de huskies. Estos amigables animales estarán esperándonos, saltando y ladrando, para empezar a tirar de los trineos. En este paseo cada adulto podrá conducir su propio trineo (2 personas por trineo que irán alternando la posición de piloto: mientras una conduce la otra persona va sentada en el trineo). Son perros que nos recuerdan a los lobos, con sus orejas puntiagudas, su mirada penetrante y su hocico pronunciado. Pueden tener un ojo de cada color. Ésta es, sin duda, una de las mejores experiencias que se pueden disfrutar en Laponia. Regresaremos al hotel para el almuerzo, y por la tarde seguiremos con una divertida actividad que gusta tanto a mayores como a pequeños. Realizaremos un paseo en raquetas de nieve. Será un paso tranquilo para que podamos disfrutar de la naturaleza y observar el entorno. Lo mismo encontramos huellas de animales y podemos seguir su rastro. Resto de la tarde libre.

Los niños, y no tan niños, podrán divertirse en la zona habilitada para tirarse con trineos por las colinas nevadas. Regreso al hotel y tiempo libre hasta la hora de la cena. Más tarde, llegará el momento que los más pequeños estaba esperando, el encuentro con Santa Claus. Cada familia, de forma privada, podrá pasar un rato con este entrañable personaje.
