Lapland in Finland always ranks as one of the “best ever” incentive trips by attendees. Viada DMC has been creating unforgettable Winter Wonderland itineraries packed with wow activities and adventures for 25 years. Winter incentives can be run from mid-December to the beginning of April with the best month being March. Hotel availability for groups in this period is always limited, so booking a long way in advance is highly recommended.
Jukka-Paco Halonen, Owner and President of Viada DMC, shares just a few of the incredible highlights you can experience during your trip to Rovaniemi and the surrounding countryside:
- Accommodation options are unique. You’ll find snow-covered log cabins or luxurious glass igloos where you can lie back and be one of the lucky ones to see the magical colours of the Aurora Borealis streak across the night sky.
- Lead your own Husky Dog Sledding Safari. Lapland is one of the only places where you can be a musher and lead your own sled with 4-6 strong huskies pulling you through snowy forests and over icy lakes. During a stop, grill your own sausages on the open fire and enjoy a hot lingonberry drink.
- Exotic gastronomical experiences in a Snow Igloo restaurant. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink in ice glasses in an ice bar before feasting on salmon steaks and sauteed reindeer.
- Luxurious gala dinners in wonderful, rustic venues accompanied by Lappish joiku songs, sung by local Sami folk.
- Take a Snowmobile Safari across a frozen sea and then cruise onboard Sampo, an authentic icebreaker ship.
- Wrap yourself in blankets, with a cup of hot chocolate, and take a reindeer sleigh ride to dinner.
- Imagine driving a Lamborghini supercar on the frozen sea! Viada DMC now offers this unique activity in Kemi, located on the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia in Finnish Lapland.
- Sustainability is key in Lapland. Choose sustainable catering with local ingredients and use the new e-snowmobiles on safaris.
- There’s so much else to experience! Sauna, swim and fish in a hole in the ice; play ice golf, go snow-shoe walking, ski cross-country and visit Santa Claus and his elves in the post office.
