Packing for the Arctic Adventure
Embarking on a journey to the enchanting landscapes of Lapland requires thoughtful preparation. The key to enjoying the pristine wilderness and the myriad of activities we offer at Wildmaker Lapland is to pack smart. Essential clothing includes thermal layers, waterproof outerwear, and insulated boots to withstand the sub-zero temperatures. Don’t forget a warm hat, gloves, and a scarf to protect against the biting Arctic chill.
Remember, the secret to comfort lies in layering. Start with moisture-wicking base layers, add insulating mid-layers, and top it off with a windproof and waterproof shell. This combination will keep you warm during our Wilderness Snowshoeing excursions and cozy in the log cabin after a day of adventure.
Embracing the Lapland Lifestyle
When you arrive at your authentic Finnish log cabin, you’ll be greeted by the warmth of a crackling fireplace and the luxury of your own private sauna. This is the heart of Finnish culture, a place where you can unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures. Whether you’ve spent the day snowshoeing through Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park or ice fishing on a serene frozen lake, the sauna is where your true Finnish experience begins.
After the heat of the sauna, dare to embrace the tradition of rolling in the snow – it’s an invigorating experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and alive. And as the night falls, step outside to witness the awe-inspiring northern lights, often visible right from your doorstep, thanks to the absence of light pollution in our secluded location.
Unique Arctic Activities
At Wildmaker Lapland, we take pride in offering exclusive experiences that immerse you in the local culture and natural beauty of the region. Our Luxury Ice Fishing adventure is not just about the catch; it’s about connecting with the stillness of the landscape, the thrill of the chase, and the satisfaction of cooking your fresh catch on an open fire. With our premium equipment and cozy ice fishing tent, even a snowstorm can’t dampen the spirit of this tranquil activity.
For those seeking a more hands-on encounter with Lapland’s wildlife, our private Reindeer Farm Visit is a must. Spend a day with a local herder, learn about the intricacies of reindeer husbandry, and capture memories that will last a lifetime. This gentle experience is suitable for all ages and offers a unique insight into the lives of these iconic Arctic animals.
Chasing the Aurora Borealis
The northern lights are a spectacle that many dream of witnessing. We at Wildmaker Lapland provide you with the knowledge and opportunity to maximize your chances of seeing this natural wonder. Our Northern Lights Evening and Photography session is designed to not only show you the auroras but also to teach you how to capture their beauty with your camera. Gather around a bonfire, enjoy Finnish pancakes, and immerse yourself in the lore and science of the auroras.
While the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and their appearance can never be guaranteed, our location far from city lights and our expertise in forecasting their activity give you the best possible chance to see them dance across the Arctic sky. The experience is made even more magical by the backdrop of the Milky Way, visible in all its glory from our pristine vantage point.
The Thrill of a Private Husky Safari
Imagine gliding through snow-covered forests and over frozen landscapes, led by a team of enthusiastic huskies – this is the essence of our Private Husky Safari. You’ll feel the rush of the cold air and the joy of the dogs as they do what they love most. We’ll teach you how to handle your sled and the huskies, ensuring a safe and exhilarating ride through the wilderness.
Unlike standard safaris where multiple teams can lead to delays, our private experience ensures a more intimate and high-quality adventure. You’ll have the chance to bond with the huskies, take memorable photos, and enjoy a warm lunch by the fire after your journey. This is not just an activity; it’s an unforgettable encounter with the heart of Lapland’s winter landscape.
