Experience the ultimate coziness with a woolly sock hike! This unique adventure offers a perfect blend of outdoor exploration and relaxation, providing an unforgettable escape into the serene beauty of the Arctic.
As you embark on the hike, you’ll be outfitted with warm, woolly socks, keeping your feet comfortable throughout the journey. Follow our experienced guide through snow-covered trails and marvel at the tranquil beauty that surrounds you.
After the invigorating hike it’s time to unwind and pamper yourself in a cozy tent sauna. Let the gentle heat of the sauna relax your body and soothe your senses. Embrace the calming ambiance as you feel the tension melt away.
After the sauna, we gather around an open fire for a delicious dinner prepared over the crackling flames. Savor the flavors of traditional Lapland cuisine made with local ingredients. The flickering firelight and the peacefulness of the surroundings create a truly memorable dining experience.
You will have an ample opportunity to connect with Lapland’s nature during the hike, tent sauna and open fire dinner. Embrace the simple pleasures of life in this enchanting arctic paradise and return home with everlasting memories.
