overnight train to Rovaniemi. Meals are available on board the train (not included).

Accommodation on board the train

Transfer from Rovaniemi train station to the Arctic Tree house hotel, your accommodation for the coming two nights. The concept of Arctic Tree House Hotel has its roots in fragile arctic nature, the fairy tale-like world of Santa Park, and northern culture and heritage. The hotel consists of individual accommodation units covered by wooden shingles and standing on tall poles between the trees. Appearing to wander down the hill and curiously peeking at the landscape and sky, they blend into their environment effortlessly. All the buildings are

made of Finnish wood, a traditional, sustainable and renewable material. The green roof helps in managing urban runoff and brings the building’s footprint’s worth of vegetation back to the construction site. The wood on the interior surfaces creates a comfortable environment, healthy indoor air and pleasant acoustics. After check-in you can use the rest of the day explore Rovaniemi and experience its nature activities such as river boat cruise, Santa Claus safaris and fat bike safaris. Ask us about activities available in Rovaniemi. Accommodation at Arctic Treehouse Hotel (2 nights)

After breakfast you have the full day to keep exploring the ‘capital’ of Finnish Lapland. Today don’t miss the opportunity of visiting the Santa Claus village, open all year long. There is allot to see and do in
