Embrace the Serenity of the Arctic
Imagine stepping out of a cozy log cabin into a world where the air is crisp, the snow sparkles under the Arctic sun, and the silence is only broken by the crunch of snowshoes on fresh powder. This is the reality of a private holiday with us at Wildmaker Lapland, where we invite you to embrace the serenity of the Arctic wilderness. Our Winter Week Experience is designed to immerse you in the untouched beauty of Lapland, far from the crowded tourist trails.
Our journey begins with a snowshoe adventure in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, an ancient mountain range with mystical fells offering breathtaking views. As you traverse this winter wonderland, our professional guides will share insights into the local nature and culture. A warm, open-fire lunch in a traditional hut provides a cozy interlude before we ascend the fells, where the vistas stretch even further into the horizon.
Authentic Log Cabin Living
Your accommodation is an authentic Finnish log cabin, complete with a sauna and a fireplace, offering a quintessential Lapland experience. The cabin is a sanctuary of warmth and comfort, with two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a living room that doubles as an additional sleeping area. The crackling fireplace and the soothing heat of the sauna create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day of Arctic exploration.
Step outside, and you’re immediately enveloped by the magic of the forest, with snowshoes ready to take you across the frozen landscape. At night, the clear skies free of light pollution may treat you to the mesmerizing dance of the Northern Lights, visible right from your doorstep. It’s an experience that epitomizes the magic of Lapland, one that you can enjoy in complete privacy and comfort.
Luxury Ice Fishing: A Finnish Tradition
Ice fishing is an activity deeply rooted in Finnish culture, and with us, it’s elevated to a luxurious experience. We transport you to the best fishing spots via snowmobile, where a spacious tent equipped with a wood-burning stove awaits. Inside, you can fish in warmth and comfort, regardless of the weather outside. The simplicity of the activity, paired with the stunning frozen lake scenery, offers a tranquil escape and a chance to catch your own fresh fish.
Our Luxury Ice Fishing experience is not just about the catch; it’s about connecting with the essence of the Arctic. The peacefulness of the lake, the thrill of the catch, and the taste of freshly caught fish cooked over an open fire are all part of this unique adventure. It’s a moment to slow down and savor the simplicity and beauty of life above the Arctic Circle.
Reindeer Encounters and Northern Lights
A visit to a local reindeer farm offers a glimpse into the life of a reindeer herder and the traditions that have shaped Lapland for centuries. Here, you can learn about reindeer husbandry, feed these gentle creatures, and enjoy the warmth of campfire coffee as you delve deeper into the herder’s stories. This experience is suitable for all ages and requires no physical exertion, making it a perfect family activity.
As evening falls, we gather around a bonfire to prepare Finnish pancakes and await the possible appearance of the Northern Lights. Our guides will teach you how to predict this natural phenomenon and, if conditions allow, how to capture its beauty with your camera. The absence of light pollution ensures a spectacular view of the night sky, offering a powerful and unforgettable experience.
Private Husky Safari: The Call of the Wild
There’s something inherently magical about exploring the Arctic wilderness led by a team of enthusiastic huskies. Our private husky safari allows you to take the reins, guiding these incredible animals through snowy forests and over frozen landscapes. The safari is intimate, with just your group and the guide, ensuring a personal and high-quality experience. You’ll have the opportunity to bond with the huskies, learn about their care, and enjoy the thrill of mushing your own sled.
After the exhilarating ride, you’ll have time to meet and take photos with the dogs, creating lasting memories of your Arctic adventure. We’ll then gather by a fire to warm up and enjoy a well-deserved lunch. This private husky safari is a testament to our commitment to providing authentic experiences that allow you to connect with nature and the spirit of Lapland on a deeper level.
