Top Lapland Scavenger Hunts

This is not just camping — it’s a guided introduction to living with the rhythms of the northern forest. You’ll gain real wilderness skills, eat what nature provides, and experience Lapland beyond typical tourist routes. At the same time, comfort and safety are always ensured: a nearby cottage offers indoor accommodation if needed, and the journey ends with sauna warmth and a proper meal — blending adventure with Nordic coziness.

Travel through the snow-covered Arctic countryside on a self-driven 6 km dogsledding adventure just outside Rovaniemi. Spend time with the huskies to pet the pack and snap photos, then learn the basics of mushing from professional handlers. Winter clothing and a hot drink with a light snack are included for your comfort.

Ivalo becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past the Ivalo River, Monitoimitalo Kuulas, the Petsamo statue and the church of Saint Nicholas. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Ivalo.

Get up close and personal with huskies as you enjoy a 10 km trek through snowy Finland. Cozy up behind a team of sleigh dogs, and ride through the beautiful Finnish forests. Learn about the training, breeding and racing of these magnificent creatures. Warm up with a treat of Finnish cookies and a hot drink before the trip back to your hotel.
