Snowmobile Safari to Santa Claus Village by Apukka Resort

Rovaniemi, the gateway to Finnish Lapland, is a destination where winter feels endless and the Arctic Circle marks the start of unique adventures. Among its standout experiences is the Snowmobile Safari to Santa Claus Village, offered by Apukka Resort. This trip is more than a drive through snow-blanketed forests; it’s a chance to touch the spirit of Lapland’s festive culture while navigating pristine wilderness on a nimble snowmobile.

Apukka Resort situates visitors right in the heart of Lapland’s vast white landscapes. From here, adults take the wheel of the snowmobiles, while children nestle warmly in sleds pulled behind.

Guests can meet Santa himself, send postcards stamped from the Arctic Circle post office, and savor a hearty lunch that fuels both body and soul.

This journey strikes a rare balance between adrenaline and family charm. The route traverses sprawling pine forests and frozen lakes lined with lichen-draped trees, a reminder of Helsinki’s northern wilderness. The snowmobile ride offers a lively pace that’s accessible to most skill levels, while the destination provides a festive celebration of Lapland’s winter traditions. Apukka Resort’s commitment to delivering authentic Arctic experiences shines here, making this safari a unique local offering.
