Dreaming of spending a typical day as we locals do in Lapland? Then this trip is for you!
We will leave by car from Ylläsjärvi and drive to our private wilderness cabin located in the forest, on the shore of Ylläs river. From there we will explore the forest by snowshoes, far from the beaten tracks. We will look for animal tracks such as moose, reindeer, hare, fox and capercaillie, and if we are lucky even spot one of those animals. After the trek we will start warming up the wood stove of the sauna and fetch water from the frozen river by making a hole through the ice.
While the sauna is getting warm, we will grill sausages and make pancakes in the kota, the local teepee where we will eat and enjoy a warm drink.
After the snack it’s time for a real sauna experience, finishing with diving in the snow in a swimming suit and making a snow angel – for the bravest only!
Sauna is taken per round, as a couple or friends, 4 persons max at a time – you don’t need to sauna go with a stranger!
snowshoes, car transfer about 25 minutes one way, 2 hours snowshoeing in the wilderness searching for animal tracks, grilling sausages in a kota and making pancakes, warm drink, traditional wood heated sauna experience on the river bank, towel
