A journey into the heart of Lapland is an experience among snow-covered forests, Arctic landscapes and the Northern Lights. With Snap the North, you’ll discover the nature and traditions of the North through authentic activities and small-group trips, away from mass tourism.
Our base is located in a peaceful area on the border between Sweden and Finland, surrounded by Arctic nature. During your trip, you’ll ride a husky sled, meet reindeer, discover local culture and, weather permitting, admire the Northern Lights.
With Snap the North, you’re more than just a tourist — you’re a traveller. Every experience is designed to help you discover the real Lapland alongside people who truly know the region.
Arrival at the airport, baggage collection and transfer to our accommodation, set in a natural environment along a river on the border between Sweden and Finland.
Check-in to a double room with a private bathroom. The afternoon is free to relax and adjust to the Arctic climate.
In the evening, weather permitting, there will be an opportunity to admire the Northern Lights directly from the hotel.
After breakfast, we’ll put on our Arctic clothing and set off on a husky sledding adventure. You’ll have the opportunity to drive your own sled through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes.
In the early afternoon, we’ll visit a reindeer farm, where you can feed and pet the animals while learning about their role in Arctic culture.
After dinner, weather permitting, we’ll try to spot the Northern Lights directly from the hotel.
We’ll explore Arctic landscapes surrounded by endless forests and enjoy views of the great river that separates Sweden and Finland. Along the way, we’ll visit a local craft workshop and discover traditional woodcraft.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit a historic fishing village overlooking the rapids, where traditional wooden houses and the surrounding nature tell the story of life in the North.
In the evening, weather permitting, we’ll head out to search for the Northern Lights.
After breakfast, we’ll visit the village dedicated to Santa Claus, where we can cross the Arctic Circle, explore the post office and browse the shops and restaurants.
You’ll also have the opportunity to meet Santa in person, hand him a letter and take a souvenir photo.
The rest of the visit will be free time to explore at your own pace, with our assistance available whenever needed.
After breakfast, transfer to the airport for departure. Our journey comes to an end, but the magic of Lapland will live on through the memories and experiences we take home.
All outdoor activities are subject to potential changes based on weather and environmental conditions. In the event of adverse or extreme conditions, we reserve the right to reduce their duration, modify them, or cancel them if necessary to ensure the safety of the group.
Even with a smartphone, you can capture great photos of the Northern Lights, especially with recent models. Here is our recommended setup, from the essentials to the ultimate photography gear:
The Essentials (for everyone):

For Camera Photographers (DSLR / Mirrorless):
Daypack / Hiking Backpack: Always bring a daypack with enough room for extra layers, water, snacks, and your camera.
Sunglasses: Essential for sunny September days when the glare can be strong.
Swimwear: Be sure to pack a swimsuit if a sauna session is on your itinerary.
The Northern Lights are an unpredictable natural phenomenon. Because their visibility depends on shifting weather conditions and solar activity, sightings can never be fully guaranteed.
Facing the Arctic winter requires proper clothing to fully enjoy every experience without feeling the cold. Lapland in December and the following months can bring very harsh temperatures, often dropping below -20°C, so dressing in layers is essential.
