Aurora Hunt on the Snowtrain
Take a ride through the winter wonderland in a warm carriage of our famous Snowtrain! We head out in the wilderness, far from artificial lights, looking for the Northern Lights.
Apukka Husky Adventure
Huskies are one of the most loved animals of the north, and you will understand why when you meet the pack at Apukka. You can pet them, pose for photos with them and listen to stories about the life of the huskies. They love pulling loads and running on the trails across the forests.
The highlight of the day is the 7–10 km long safari, where you get to be the musher yourself, in other words, control the team of huskies towing the sled.
Reindeer Ride to Santa through the Magic Forest
Here, on the edge of the forest, the reindeer are waiting for you ready to lead the way to Santa. Take a seat in a cozy sleigh and start the journey through the Magic Forest. The Elves are there to help you to find Santa’s Secret Hut, a place filled with Christmas spirit. With their help you’ll find a secret trail in the snow, leading you to a very special place. Maybe Santa has a small surprise waiting for you?
During the program, warm drinks and cookies will be served, and the funny Elves of Apukka will keep you busy with their Christmassy program while waiting for your turn to meet the Old Grand Man himself!

Aurora Hunt on the Snowtrain
We cross the beautiful snowy landscape to reach a traditional Lappish “Kota”: a hut deep in the wilderness. We gather around the blazing bonfire to enjoy light snacks and hot drinks. Our guide will help you with camera settings to best capture the Northern Lights.
This excursion is completely focused on the Northern Lights, but you also get to experience the beauty of the pure, snowy forest, darkness, and silence. As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, nobody can give a 100% guarantee to see them, but this trip presents an excellent chance!
