PERSONALLY HOSTED WINTER JOURNEY
Authentic Arctic Finland
Experience the real Finnish winter without having to plan every detail yourself. We bring accommodation, homemade meals, transportation and Arctic experiences together in one complete stay.
MORE THAN AN ORDINARY HOLIDAY
One journey. The whole Arctic experience.
Authentic Arctic Finland is a five-night hosted stay for travellers who want to experience the real Finnish winter without searching for accommodation, restaurants, transfers and individual activities themselves.

You won’t be a hotel room number. You’ll be our guest – and yes, we’ll know your name.

The experiences are included, but their order is adapted to the weather, conditions and pace of the group. This keeps the stay relaxed and allows us to choose the best possible time for each activity.
Which transfer is included?
Return transfers from Kajaani Airport or Kajaani railway station are included. If you arrive in Oulu or another city, we can help arrange transportation, but it is not included in the package price.
