Experience the authentic, traditional Lappish lifestyle as you participate in different activities guided by an expert in the area on this amazing traditional Lappish experience with snowshoeing, sauna, and grilling from Ylläsjärvi! Located in Finnish Lapland, Ylläsjärvi is a small, picturesque village set in the stunning Arctic landscapes of northern Finland. The region has been inhabited for a long time, but the village itself was founded in the 1700s, and since then, Ylläsjärvi has evolved and grown, whilst keeping its Lappish traditions alive.

On the day of your snowshoeing, sauna, and grilling experience at a traditional Lappish cabin from Ylläsjärvi, you'll have the option to be picked up from your accommodations in Ylläsjärvi or, if you are in a big group, as far as Äkäslompolo. If you are staying further away and have your own car or wish to arrive by bus or on foot, you can do so as well. Your group will arrive at the North Wind Lapland headquarters, meet the expert instructor who will lead the activity, get on a vehicle, and start your 25-minute scenic drive to a traditional cabin in the forest!

Once you arrive, you'll put on a pair of snowshoes and go on a 2-hour excursion where you will search for animal tracks for moose, reindeer, hares, foxes, and capercaillie, and if you're lucky, see one of them! This traditional Lappish experience from Ylläsjärvi will continue as your instructor starts warming up the sauna and you all grill sausages and make pancakes in the kota, which is the teepee where, once everything is ready, you'll eat this delicious food and enjoy a hot drink. Finally, you'll enjoy the warmth of the sauna in the stunning environment of the Arctic forest, and once you're done, you can throw yourself onto the snow in your swimsuit for a true Lappish tradition!

Don't forget to bring warm clothing, including thermal layers and wind and waterproof outerwear, a swimsuit and a towel for the sauna, a hat, sunglasses, water bottle, and anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to spend between 5 to 6 hours on this incredible traditional Lappish experience with snowshoeing, sauna, and grilling experience from Ylläsjärvi.
