The Santa Claus Village has been open and operating every day since 1992. Here, you can meet the real <em>Santa Claus and his little helpers &#8211; elves.<\/em>\u00a0Visit Santa&rsquo;s post office to send letters to your relatives and friends stamped with special <em>Arctic Circle stamp marks <\/em>and even cross the Arctic circle. Don\u2019t hesitate and explore this exciting area for a few hours before indulging in mouth-watering Finnish cuisine. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the capital of Finnish Lapland&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have received the keys to your premium motorhome, you will be ready to explore the incredible Finnish Lapland, a true <em>Winter Wonderland.<\/em> Your first pit stop should be Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland. This charming city is located in the Arctic Circle area and is home to approximately 65,000 inhabitants who will warmly welcome you to enjoy Lappish culture and a wide range of activities throughout a year. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While wondering through the cozy streets of Rovaniemi make sure to stop by Lordi&rsquo;s Square dedicated to the Finnish heavy metal band who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006. Afterwards, you can stroll along the banks of the river Kemijoki and include a visit to the local science centre and museum &#8211;\u00a0<em>Arktikum\u00a0<\/em>that focuses on introducing its visitors to the Arctic nature and culture through the exhibitions and events.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Taste of Finland \u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend finishing the day by dining at a local restaurant which serves traditional Finnish food.\u00a0Some dishes we advise trying would for example be a traditional Lappish dish which includes sauteed reindeer served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam or then <em>salmon soup with barley flatbread &lsquo;rieska&rsquo;<\/em>.\u00a0For dessert you might want to have<em>\u00a0lightly grilled cheese &#8211; leip\u00e4juusto<\/em>\u00a0that is served with an endemic delicious berry &#8211; cloudberry. After enjoying a traditional Finnish dinner, set out to find a place to park your motorhome somewhere surrounded by the peaceful Finnish nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An off-radar treasure&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What could be the craziest activity to do on your motorhome holiday around Finland, you might ask. &#8211;&nbsp;<\/em>The answer is taking a cruise on the Arctic Icebreaker Sampo vessel and swim in the freshly crushed icy water! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride aboard a ship which crushes the <em>thick ice of the Gulf of Bothnia.\u00a0<\/em>This exotic activity can be started from the town of Kemi, which is 2-hour drive from Rovaniemi. During the cruise you will be guided to the engine and cockpit rooms, you can dine at the restaurant and see vessel crushing the ice in front of your eyes on your wintertime journey!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the main activity of the cruise is to <em>swim in the freshly crushed ice water near the vessel on your winter road trip.\u00a0<\/em>Sounds crazy, right? You will be equipped with specialised thermal clothes and get a safety guidance before going into the water for an incredible swim!

decision ahead of you to select an afternoon activity from the wide range of options Levi offers. During summer and autumn time the selection includes activities such as SUP paddling, berry picking, horseback riding and golf. For those chasing after an adventure, we recommend participating in guided river rafting. During winter and spring, <em>skiing and snowboarding are the main activities<\/em>. Additionally, many love to <em>visit reindeer farms and go on husky sleigh rides<\/em>.\u00a0For an unforgettable experience, we recommend going on a\u00a0<em>snowmobile safari<\/em>\u00a0that will help you experience a winter wonderland at its best! Take a moment and\u00a0<em>enjoy panoramic views<\/em>, while making several stops along the way to fully experience the beauty of this scenic place. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What could be better than a cup of warm drink combined with a traditional Finnish baked pastry after an adventurous day outdoors? We suggest trying out\u00a0<em>Runebergintorttu\u2013 rum cake<\/em>\u00a0topped with raspberry jam and icing,\u00a0<em>joulutorttu \u2013 traditional star shaped pastry<\/em>\u00a0with plum jam or <em>voisilm\u00e4pulla &#8211; a pastry <\/em>with salted butter in its centre<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aurora hunting&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Share an unforgettable experience with your loved ones, whether that is your family or significant other, seeking out for Northern Lights! Aurora Borealis are usually thought of as being a winter phenomenon in the Nordics. However, this notion is false as the lights can be spotted already in September and October all the way to March and April in the most northern parts of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To spot those natural lights, you should head out to the countryside, away from city lights. Once darkness falls on a slightly chilly day, the Aurora can be visible at any time of day, but the best times often seem to be between 9 pm and 2 am. However, clouds and snowfall can sometimes prevent you from seeing this colourful phenomenon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong><em>&nbsp;You might want to check the Aurora forecast before planning this activity to maximize your experience! Make sure you pack enough warm clothes and bring a thermos with warm drink before taking off to such an incredible and exotic hike! &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-textimage\">\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n        <div class=\"content-row image-placement-right\">\r\n            <div class=\"content-container reveal\">\r\n                <h3>Day 4 (Approx. 155 km)<\/h3><h3>Exploring the biggest National Park of Finland<\/h3>\n<p>Your next stop on a motorhome adventure will be the biggest National Park of Finland and<em>\u00a0one of the largest in Europe\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; Lemmenjoki National Park.

Finnish forests are also packed with mushrooms. However, we recommend carefully looking into the varieties of them before enjoying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After\u00a0mindful morning activities with superfood delights, set your navigator to Inari \u2013 a city located 40 minutes from the Lemmenjoki national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The capital of Sami culture &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today you will be exploring Inari &#8211; the capital of Sami culture. Let us remind you that Sami people are the indigenous Finno-Ugric group that mainly resides in the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. There are approximately 80,000 representatives of the Sami culture around the world with half of its population living in Norway. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inari is a charming little town which can easily be explored. During your town excursion, we recommend visiting the<em>\u00a0museum of Sami culture and nature centre &#8211; Siida<\/em>. Afterwards, consider spending the rest of your afternoon enjoying the views over the third largest lake in Finlad,\u00a0 Inarij\u00e4rvi, either from the surrounding land or aboard a boat. Additionally, certain cruise companies offer midnight sun cruises during summertime. For a romantic getaway, this is definitely a must-do activity, whilst visiting this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Did you know&#8230;<\/strong><em> <\/em><em>the northernmost ATM machine is located in Inari?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Annual events &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With luck, you will be able to attend one or more of the annual events which are held in the Inari municipality. These events range from Sk\u00e1bmgovat, a film festival of the indigenous people held in January to an annual reindeer racing championship held from mid-February to the beginning of April. Spend an extra day attending one of the annual events held in this area, to receive the ultimate Finnish experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An off-radar treasure &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the cultural cornerstones of Sami people in northern Finland is reindeer herding. If you are looking for an exotic authentic experience, we recommend planning a few extra days to experience Sami culture by yourself and try out an activity of<em>\u00a0reindeer herding in Utsjoki<\/em>.
