Travel story
Meeting Santa brings back the happy Christmases of childhood
At night we look up at the sky, by day we drill holes in the ice and wait for fish
The cold and the silence accompany us as we wander through several days in the northern country
—
In northern Finland, a visit to Santa Claus Village and the unique landscapes of the Arctic Circle begin a time to encounter the nostalgic air of Christmas. At night you go out to watch the northern lights depending on the sky, and by day you try ice fishing on frozen lakes — experiences characteristic of this land are naturally woven in. With an itinerary that isn’t overpacked, you can enjoy the cold and the silence, and the everyday and the extraordinary of the North gently overlap on this trip.
Signature points
At Santa Claus Village, a time when adults become a little more honest
A visit to Santa Claus Village is not just sightseeing for taking photos; it is an experience that briefly revives the memories of Christmas imagined in childhood. As you walk without putting on a front, you somehow start to feel happy, and you can savor that whole atmosphere.
Aurora and ice fishing: "special but not over the top" experiences
At night you watch the aurora, and by day you go ice fishing on frozen lakes — experiences unique to the Arctic Circle are incorporated in a natural flow. None of these are events you have to force yourself to do; if you try them, they are genuinely interesting, a perfectly balanced break from everyday life.
A stay in northern Finland completed even by the cold and the silence
Putting on warm clothes and going outside, walking through white landscapes, having time to do nothing. Even without flashy production, the environment itself makes the trip memorable. Looking back, these somehow become the most memorable days.
