This is a truly memorable experience. Fly up to the Arctic Circle and enter a magical winter wonderland, thick with snow. Enjoy the thrill of riding on a snowmobile across open landscapes, walk through the snow-capped woods on snowshoes, meet the indigenous Sami people and their reindeers, and have a go at cross country skiing. Free time to build a snowman or play on the sledges. On a clear night, stand in awe at the breath-taking Northern Lights dance across the sky. Then just as you think, you cannot take any more excitement, cross the border into Norway and sleep in a Snow Hotel! How cool is that! Thermal snow-suits and boots are provided.
