Building a snowman, kick sledding on the ice, or just walking around the beautiful Resort and taking photos – the list of things to do in Apukka Resort is endless.
Tour 1: Apukka Husky Adventure, duration 2 hours
Don’t get kisses from only your loved one but from the most loved animals of the North, huskies! These fluffy dogs will pull you through the arctic wilderness on a 5-10 km long safari! You will be leading your own team like an actual musher while your beloved gets comfortable in the sleigh! After the snowy ride across the forest, you will gather around a bonfire to listen to stories about the huskies and their way of life in Lapland. Pet the huskies and pose for pictures with them. Who do you think is more gorgeous, your partner or the husky?
Tour 2: Horse Sleigh Ride in the Arctic, duration 2 hours
Dashing through the snow in a horse sleigh? There is no better way to experience the winter wonderland all around us! In the early 1900s, the tavern of Apukka was famous for its magnificent horses. So take a step back on the pages of history and travel in the far North using the same means as our ancestors. Find a cozy seat in the sleigh and let the horses lead you to the magical sceneries surrounding you from the vast frozen lake Olkka. This is what Lappish life is all about!
Tour 3: Sauna Carriage by your Suite’s Doorstep, duration 1.5 hours
Just as you thought the Finns’ love for saunas couldn’t get any more mesmerizing, this little sauna on skis brightens your day! A traditional Finnish sauna waiting for you on your doorstep? As you book this sauna, you’ll soon witness how peculiar, cute little sauna slides to the front of your doorstep. Then, as you hear a knock on your door, you’ll know the sauna is ready for you. Step into the gentle warmth of this unique wood-heated sauna and enjoy.
DAY 4 – BYE BYE LAPLAND!
After a delicious breakfast, it is time to say bye-bye to Lapland. Our driver will take you to the airport and wish you a pleasant journey home. Hope to see you again at Apukka Resort Rovaniemi!
