It was a part of the experience of Saaga, Hotel Lapland at Yllas, Lapland, Finland. There were beautiful ice carvings, a music room, theatre, ice restaurant, glass restaurant, honeymoon suite, souvenir store and many more. The hot chocolate and different alcohol options were awesome. Every year they build the snow structures in the arrival of winters with artificial snow and it gradually melts during summer. The place has its own tour guides,who will introduce you to all the places inside. I highly recommend visiting this place.

The ice exhibit was really amazing and worth the price but just note that you have to pay for it separately, even if you're eating dinner there. The ice restaurant was also amazing, but you're really going for the experience and not necessarily the food. In full disclosure, we went on Christmas Eve and it was their first night open of the season, and it was a set menue, but 48 Euros for kids chicken nuggets and fries hurt. Adult meals were good. Ice bar in the ice exhibit was fun, unique, etc. Bottom line - it's an expensive endeavor but when you consider the insane amount of work and artistry that goes into building the place each year, you'll feel better about the cost.

Fantastic experience at a place that exists only in the most northern regions of our globe! The amount of hours and dedication spent to create this art is astonishing. Well done!

It’s something very special. I found the entrance fee of €25 very steep though. You’re basically done in 45 mins or less. Dress very warm! It’s colder inside than outside.

Awesome experience. Love the two type of the art one north mythology and one Finish. Rooms and art work looked so cool. Loved the touch of ice bar and drinks in ice glasses. There was some queue but just walk one lap and there will be no queue. Very impressive place. Staff members have great humor loved it.

Visiting here was really cool, especially for someone like me who comes from a tropical island. The talent and art was stunning and just the whole idea of them coming up with themes and finding artist from around the world to bring it all together is just fantastic. This year’s theme was the Nordic Mythology and we had so much fun on the ice slide. We also had lunch in the ice restaurant and I enjoyed the soup.

Very good. Awesome ice hotel. This year's theme is Nordic legend so far there's Thor's hammer made of ice. Hotel is still being built but the ice sculptures inside are amazing. Bar prices are not cheap but then you'd expect them not to be with the amount of work that's gone in to build the hotel.

I am delighted to share my thoughts about this exceptional business. Juho and Hana are truly remarkable individuals who exhibit a profound dedication and love for their huskies, treating them as cherished family members. Their dogs are not only adorable but also exude calmness, affection, and joy when interacting with people. Having been a loyal client for many years, I can confidently recommend their services to everyone. Juho and Hana's organization is impeccable, with well-planned activities and high-quality, warm clothing to ensure no one feels the cold while on the track. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to experience the magic they offer. You will never regret embarking on this journey, but you might regret missing out on such a memorable experience.

This has to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done! We had a lot of luck with the sun setting right when we started which made this moment special and unforgettable to me! For somebody who’s into dogs this is a must do!

Wauw wauw wauw! This was a true core memory!!!! We enjoyed every minute of it, the welcoming by Hanna and Huyge (sorry if I write your name wrong 😜), hugging the husky’s, riding the sleigh, drinking some berry juice at the fire pit,.. thank you for everything 🤍

We loved our visit to Husky Ranch Lapland! The husky puppies were adorable, the big dogs were amazing, and the owners couldn’t have been nicer. You can feel how much they care for their dogs. Definitely worth a visit!

This place was truly amazing. The people that own and run the ranch are extremely friendly and helpful. They take you on a beautiful ride and teach you everything you need to know. You get a nice fire and berry tea after your ride. All the dogs are so friendly we got to play with them and even hold the new puppies.. Even after we left the owners were so kind they called us personally to tell us the auroras were out so we could see them. If you want an incredible unforgettable adventure don’t pass this place up!

The absolute best experience!! Juho and Hanna are absolutely AMAZING. So passionate and kind! Juho went out of his way to teach us about the dogs and about dog-sledding, and cook a delicious authentic meal midway. He cares so deeply about his dogs (one dog barked strangely halfway through the ride, and he immediately stopped all the sleds to make sure the dog was okay). The dogs themselves stole our hearts - so unbelievably cute and excited, happy to be hugged! We had a once-in-a-lifetime amazing time and would do this again in a heartbeat!!!! Thank you for the best time!

We had a great experience on the half day tour. Juho, the owner, was very welcoming and takes great care of his dogs. The trip was fun, and we enjoyed the camp fire at the end as well. Would definitely recommend this!

Great exhibition- you can spend 15min or 2h here - exciting also for kids (for a bit)

They used to have a cafe there which was nice for my in-laws while we went for a hike. Without, the complete experience is just not there. But I recommend going for the museum aspects too. Just be prepared to go away from there afterwards to get something to eat.

Café had fresh raspberry donuts with a unique raspberry filling, and the coffee was amazing! Other food and pastry options were available along with a lunch menu. The main visitors center is connected with a souvenir shop, telescope lookout on to the Lapland hills and tundra. Plenty of history, nature and local activities. Mountain bike rental is also located on site.

Great visotor center. Hope that the restaurant will re-open soon.

Interesting things over lapland ,nice vieuw But you can not buy coffey Cafe is closed

Probably the best nature center in Lapland. Great service, free museum, free exhibition. Local souvenir shop with nice products. If you are looking for advice for your trekking/biking or any trip, the friendly personnel will help you. If you are in the area, go have a look! It won't cost you anything, but you'll probably learn something new.

Large, well-stocked information center. Lots of maps and good advice from the staff. There is a spectacular museum exhibit on the bottom floor which is worth an hour of your time, at minimum. We took a ~2 hour round trip hike from here to a small Kota with a fireplace. For an even better experience, bring some sausages to grill.

Completed 2 tours with this group. Huskie and Motoski + reindeer. Had a wonderful time on both. Facilities and guides were great and personable. Experiences themselves were awesome. Reindeer ride was a bit different to the huskie ride the day before, but still enjoyable. Highly recommend this group for a safe and enjoyable time. Thanks to our guide Greg!

Today I took part in the bus tour to the snow village, everything went very well, I booked at the office in Äkäslompolo at short notice. Started on time and very friendly, informative support from guide Ali. The snow village is very impressive with the figures made of ice and snow, ice bar, ice disco, etc.

A perfect night with Joan ! Such a nice guide, nice ride, she’s so sweet and interesting ! Beautiful aurora during the teepee time ! Thanks you so much!

from start till the end very good!!!! We did all excursions! Big thanks to Anna, francois en Mitch and Mattias. Although all the others were also great!

What a great experience to visit Yllas and make trips with Lapland Safaris. Their enthousiasm and love for their beautiful country made our excursions great fun to do. We thank staf and guides at Lapland Safris for making our winterbreak a huge succes and an unforgettable memory. PS, nice option for teambuilding trips for companies.

Wow! We had an excellent snowmobile trip with Bartek, our tourguide. We were lucky with the sun on our 3 hour tour. It was just the 2 of us and we both had our own snowmobile, which I can highly recommend. It will cost a little more, but I got the time to get used to riding it so the second half of the trip I could go faster and I was enjoying it even more! We were happy with our guide. He gave good instructions and was fun to have around. Lapland safaris provided us with good gear, so it was all safe and fun to ride.

The trips that they organise are once in a lifetime experiences. We went on a Reindeer tour and a trip to the Snow Village, both were very well organised.

We did 2 tours with 7fellsup - and disussed some of their other tours. The tours were great - see below, but having professional advice on what would suite us was key to the sucess. We did the lappish dinner tour and the moderate snowshoe toptour to Kauer. Both suited for not that young beginners on snowshoes. The firm also have difficult tours, even 5 day hikes. So something for everyone. I envie the ones that are in shape for those tours, but even though we did beginner tours they were fun and beautifull adventures. Well done 7fellsup. The lappish dinner tour: Snowshoeing through the silence of the old Finnish forest was beautiful, especially with the snow falling. The highlight for me was the short quiet time to our selves at the Sami's ancient sacred rock. That was magical. Then a fun short trip back to the cozy kota, where the guide had lit the fire and warmed up the fine reindeer stew. Nice with lingonberries and pickled cucumbers ;). We were asked to use our headlamps as little as possible throughout the trip, which enhanced the experience of nature. Just one example of many that 7fellsup really focuses on details to give us a amazing experience. The top tour to Kauer: The most beautiful "walk" through the forest guided to see the animal tracks in the snow and being told about the forest and its inhabitants. On the way the guide made sure that we could do as much deepsnow snowshoing as we wanted or if less adventures (me) stay on the beaten track for most of the time. It may be beginners - but I got the excersise of the day :) ...Perfect!! And the thrill at the top. What a view to enjoy, while drinking warm juice and eating the homemade cakes served by the guide...I know - we were lucky having no wind, so we could stay long waching the the sun set, making the tour down a real twillight experience. And when it got too dark to see, the guide had headlamps for all. yet a nice detail. We felt safe, cared for and informed by 7fellsup's guide ... getting the best out of the magnificant nature at Äkaslompolo.

We did the trip to Kuer with our guide Anette. It was a wonderful experience, the silence of the forest and the beautiful views. Anette also had a lot to tell us about the forest, Finnish nature and which animals leave which tracks in the snow. The homemade cakes were also very tasty.

We enjoyed 3 snowshoe hikes with this company and all 3 of them were awesome! The guides are really knowledgeable and Sabrina is really helpful and generous. Thank you so much! We would definitely book again with you!

We went on a half day snowshoe hike with Anette. The gear is good, the views were great and Anette was very knowledgeable and over all a good guide!

Just returned from the 5 day snowshoe hut to hut trekking and fell in love with the white, peaceful Arctic landscape! An unforgettable trip with a great group of people and our guides who took into account individual needs and made sure that everyone felt comfortable, safe and supported throughout. Food was bountiful and delicious and included many local delicacies! The accommodation in the huts very cosy with a fireplace and the highlight a sauna in the wilderness cooling down with snow angels! Last but not least...communication with Sabrina was excellent as she helped me organise my stay before and after the trip, as I stayed longer due to my flight schedule. All in all an amazing experience with great value for money!

We were recommended by a local guide to contact 7 Fells Up for off-trail snowshoeing tours, and it was a great tip that we happily pass on to others. We did two snowshoeing tours with them in mid March after speaking with their wonderful organizer, Sabrina. The first adventure was an evening tour to see the northern lights from a higher elevation. As the snow kept falling we were never able to see any northern lights, but it was a great opportunity to try off-trail snowshoeing in very fresh snow with our friendly guide, Adrien, who also brought along blueberry juice, Sabrina’s famous homemade cloudberry cakes, and sausages to grill over the fire in one of the area’s many “kotas”. Our second snowshoeing tour was a half-day event up one of the “fells”. Our very spirited and knowledgable Finnish guide Päivi led the way as we snowshoed off-trail upwards through the forest to a kota just below the tree line where we took a break for grilled reindeer sandwiches and more of Sabrina’s cloudberry cakes. They are to die for by the way. After that we continued up over a moonlike landscape to the top of the fell through untouched snow, beautiful sunshine and stunning panoramic views of Lapland. At the top we had a 360° view and could spot all of the other nearby fells. We then descended the mountain taking a different route while Päivi gladly told us more about the wilderness and the wildlife we were seeing, including a soaring Sea Eagle, an evasive, hard-to-spot Willow grouse and a Northern Woodpecker just meters away from us but too busy pecking for insects to pay us any attention. She also explained to us the concept of Kello trees. Both snowshoeing tours were true highlights of our trip to Ylläs, and we too highly recommend 7 Fells UP. Thank you Sabrina for everything. Vielen Dank für alles. Tusind tak!

We had a couple amazing tours with Seven Fells Up. Sabrina and her crew are nice, the groups are small and you are well taken care of. Definitely recommend!

Simply brilliant. Easy to Book, super friendly and all round amazing experience. We booked a last minute Ice fishing safari and the team couldn’t have been better. Our guides were so knowledgeable and informative not only on fishing but Finnish culture too. Thank you from The Byrne Family

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a snowmobile safari with Snow Fun Safari in Äkäslompolo, and it was nothing short of spectacular! Our guides, Anttí and Sami, were exceptional, making sure every moment was enjoyable and unforgettable. Midway through the tour, we paused to indulge in a traditional Finnish meal they expertly prepared. The dish featured reindeer, mashed potatoes, and cranberries accompanied by pickles, a delightful treat that was both authentic and delicious. They kindly accommodated dietary needs, ensuring gluten and lactose-free options were available. For dessert, we savored a scrumptious blueberry cake. The tour included warm clothes, which were crucial for the chilly adventure, and added great value to the experience. The following day, we joined them for an ice fishing tour. Although no food was provided on this tour, they supplied snowshoes and warm attire, keeping us comfortable throughout the day. Anttí and Sami's dedication to ensuring everyone had a fantastic time was evident in their constant care and attention. They truly enhance the Snow Fun Safari experience, making it a must for anyone visiting the area. I look forward to returning next year for another memorable adventure!

Could not recommend the snowmobiling tour more. We had the best time going through the forest, watching the sunrise/sunset and our guide was lovely and very encouraging. Another big highlight was the halfway stop where we learnt some fun facts about Finland and enjoyed some sweets, coffee and hot berry juice provided by our guide. Definitely book this if you’re in Ylläs!!!

We rented 5 snowmobiles for our group of 10 and had an amazing day. The people at Snow Fun Safaris are very kind and relaxed. Highly recommended!

I can 100% recommend the snowmobile tours. We did one last year and booked another one today, this time a longer one. We were lucky enough to be on our own with our guide Jussi. He adapted the route and speed perfectly to our skills and needs and also included a few small detours. It was fast and challenging but never overwhelming. I had an incredible amount of fun. The views and nature were breathtakingly beautiful.

We did the Yllas 718 snow mobile safari with Snow Fun Safaris. Very good organized and beautiful tour. The tour took about 3 hours, and we stopped for a hot beverage in the middle. The reason for not giving 5 stars is because the maximum speed was around 40 - 50 km/h. And this for the last quarter of the tour, at the beginning the speed was capped at 30 - 40 km/h. On the website was mentioned that the Yllas 718 tour was for people with a taste for speed. It could be possible that this was due to other drivers scared to go faster or, this is the standard speed limit. Overall very nice experience. Would recommend.

This was a great tour. Marcel was fantastic and the scenery was spectacular. There were 2 families in our group, 6 kids (4-9) and 7 adults. All were entertained even though no fish were caught.

Well organised dog sledding tour. 5km was short but long enough in the cold conditions. The dogs and puppies are adorable. Sitting in the warm hut was a god send. Good clear instructions were given for the tour and it was easy to do. Sadlt the bus broke down on the way back but a replacement qas quickly dispatched. Good trip.

We had an awesome time on the husky sleigh and learned a lot about the cute little dogs ♥

Ok, so it's following a track that the dogs have done millions of times...however, it's fantastic. Being out in the open with the dogs, on a sled, fantastic views. Can't beat it! Great guides, lovely friendly dogs, well worth a visit.

Amazing experience 😍

Cheaper than tui and a professional service . Would recomend

Once in a lifetime experience! Staff was great and there was time to pet the dogs afterwards. Just awesome!

Friendly staff who were really helpful. Dog sledging was amazing. Thanks very much!

Hiked the trail to Keimiötunturi. You can park your car on the car park next to the road leading to Tunturikeimiö. Walk up to Tunturikeimiö. There will be a sign pointing to the Keimiötunturi trail right after you pass the cafe. Follow the trail where you will find another smaller sign on a tree on the first left in the pine tree forest. After around 400m, you will arrive at a wooden reindeer fence. You can go through it by moving some of the poles to the side. Make sure to close it after you get inside. Continue the path where it will soon start getting very steep and rocky. The entire trail has about 600m of elevation, 6km round trip, and takes around 2-3 hours. The view keeps getting better as you go up. Highly recommended!

It's a blessing to visit this national park! We first went to the visitor center to have a map and some guidance, and then we went to sisu to rent gear and for more details. Spent two nights in the mountains and was lucky to see the aurora. Will come back again soon

Trails with good maintenance and unique landscape. Good sturdy shoes needed!

Aitoa Lappia, jossa hienoa vaeltaa pientenkin lasten kanssa (Orava Avenue lähtee päätöstä ja vie taukotuvalle, jossa tulistelupaikka)./ Real Lapland with awesome fell views all around. Easy to hike with children also (check Orava Avenue ..it starts from the main Road before the hotel and leads to a cottage with camp Firenze place) . Safe to hike as you can see faraway ..so few trees. Can see reindeers if lucky. Good place to snowshoeing also if not foggy weather. Hart to find overnight places as only one hotel.

Nature, nature, lovely undisturbed nature, clean air, wind and sound of streams. Drink clean, cold, revitilizing water from streams, listen to birds songs, follow reindeers in forest but be aware of them on the road. Despite of ocasional rain we had great time hiking and sleeping in huts/cottages and tent. Ruska is especially wonderful time to come to Lapland. And any other ti.e as well if you love nature and you want to escape city. Unfortunately my Telia connection was almost always working in here. Though putiing airplane mode can fix this problem if you want to enjoy yourself without getting disturbed 😊😁😌😎

Returned in 2019, for the fifth year in the national park. Why? I love x-crountry skiing, the routes are well maintained and the huts spread across the parks are amazing. This is a must, of course seen the northern lights on three nights was a wonderful

Great hiking route through several fjelds. Not very demanding but have to remind that it is mountain route after all.

Great place to explore with nice trails, the highest hill is a excellent experience and had the chance to see many reindeer in their natural environment hanging around.

Good service, nice postcards and books. Also interesting information about the geologist origin of the area. You can find there presented plants and animals that you can see or meet in the national park. Of course other useful information as maps, the boat shuttle to Hetta over Ounnasjärvi lake and toilets. Hiking maps with huts and tracks of the area situated outside.

Really liked the hiking, it is very big and has a lot of trails

Valuable service center at a key location at Pallastunturi. Be sure to check the opening hours if you plan to visit them. As I visited them with my family, the staff was very helpful and gave us good advice concerning avalanche risk and route planning. We had a great hike up the Palkaskero based on their advise and recommendations!

Breath taking views to one of the most beautiful places in Finland. In the middle of nature park so not spoiled by mass tourism construction😁

Just breathtaking views and so beautiful place 😍

Completed a snow shoe walk in the national park and spend 40 mins in the visitors centre. Very interesting and really enjoyed the cultural film explaining about Finland, the park, wildlife, flora etc. Fascinating.

We have spent a very nice week in Torassieppi eco resort . Together with our friends, another French couple, we are used to travel away from touristic places. We found there a calm and nice place , at family scale in a superb environment. Staff , activities, cabins, food, landscape , all deserve a high rating. We highly recommend .

Amazing adventure holiday. Reindeer sledding, husky mushing, skimobile rides on frozen lakes, snowshoe walks in Pallas mountains and sampling of Finnish food and drinks... Food was excellent in Torassieppi and the service second to none. We were very well looked after, our guides were very professional… All topped up with great Norther lights experience.

Great place for a Christmas Santa visit. Lovely staff all really helpful and friendly. Lots of activities from dog sled and reindeer rides to snowmobiling and fishing on the lake. The clothes they provide keep you toasty warm so cold is not really an issue. Family loved it. Thanks again to the lovely Christina who was our guide.

Spent a fantastic holiday from 27th of January 2019 to 3rd of February. Lots of activities including, husky sledge ride Reindeer sleigh rides, ice fishing, snow shoe walk in the National Park and much more. Fantastic time and you never know you could see the Aurora. Would highly recommend. Food is fantastic, staff great and cabins warm and very comfortable.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, cannot recommend it highly enough! The staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful, the site is beautiful and the excursions are fabulous! Already want to go back!

Absolute must to stay if you are in this area. Fantastic selection of all things snow related to do here. Stay at least one night in a Dome over looking the frozen lakes and directly up at the night sky.

I recommend visiting the ice hotel and staying at the auroora dome.It's beautiful, the breakfast is great and the visit to the reindeer farm is worhth a trip! But don't get tricked to stay at the ice hotel. When you arrive they give you the grand tour and show you the 'safe room', where you can go to when you're too cold. 'Rarely used', the guide said, but when we got there shortly afther midnight, we had to sleep on the floor because all the beds were occupied. In the morning we realised that out of 15 ^people staying at the hotel 8 were sleeping in the safe room (6 on the floor!). I would recommend spending the extra money for the dome instead of spending the night on the floor.

Men's toilet was broken but luckily they let men to use the Inva toilet. Toilet was fresh and clean. Couple of pisulars (urinals) still usable in the men's room side. Toilets were free, water was drinkable, the style of the toilet was very classic office style toilets and customer service high quality. I hope men's toilet will be fixed soon! Definitely could do my business there again. 4/5

We arrived on a Saturday 2 pm in August and the visitor center was closed. We realized that the visitor center opens only on working days … Super wired and customer unfriendly hours for a visitor center … thus only one point.

Definitely worth visiting! The Sami exhibition and history is really fascinating and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the cakes in the cafe are absolutely delicious.

Pleasantly surprised by this well organized information center with a free, detailed exhibition about the Sami culture and lifestyle. The way they described how they herded their deer throughout the seasons was particularly well done. In addition to English the text was available in French and German, among others. There was a fully fledged auditorium but we didn't have time to stay for the film. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Information about nature trails and services around Hetta and Enontekiö. Friendly service and an ongoin exhibition about sami-people. Also a changing art exhibition.

A nice display of heritage in a comfortable and modern museum. Coffee and cheese cake are delicious.

Unexpectedly closed during hours it was supposed to be open. Thankfully we were passing through and didn't come from far on purpose. Coffee was not bad at least

A must see of churches, it's a special architecture and the interior is special

Really beautiful

We did the farm tour and it was lovely! Great for 5 year old boy to see and walk around. Not too long of a walk. Great for kids! The dogs are so sweet and cuddly. Would definitely come back to do other tours! Thank you!

We had a 20 km safari and we loved it. The staff is friendly and communicate well on the do’s and dont’s. Plenty of time to interact with the dogs and learn about them and the care for them. The staff will check your clothes before leaving to make sure you won’t get cold. If needed, you can rent additional warm clothing. Recommended.

We had a truly amazing experience doing the 20 km Safari. It felt too short after all the beautiful experiences and scenery we experienced. You can truly feel that the people who run the husky farm love their dogs and what they do as a living. It is also worth knowing that they take really exceptionally good care of their dogs and even the older and weaker ones get loved and are cared for.

Brilliant husky tour. The farm is very well maintained and they were able to accommodate our young (2 years old) daughter on a sled. Our tour went through some beautiful countryside and our guide, Carmen, was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend Hetta Huskies

Amazing experience! We took the multi day tour and we enjoyed every part of it. Dogs are incredibly strong and always ready to run, but also super lovely. The guides were very friendly and well organised. I would recommend it without any doubts!

We visited the farm in August with our sons, aged 10 and 7 and had the best day out. We were able to have a cart ride but the best part of the day for the children was playing with the puppies. I really enjoyed the detailed tour and explanations from Tim and Anna. I much prefer going to a place like this where things are a little improvised, rather than being sterile and touristy and where you are involved in helping with getting the dogs ready etc.. In my opinion, it makes the experience much more worthwhile and stretches the fun out. I also think it was very good value for money compared to other places I found on the internet. Last but not least, the dogs are very loved and well cared for. Keep up the good work!

We had a great time with the huskies. The owner gave us lots of information about the dogs. We really enjoyed mushing with them too !

Must be busy filming tv/some pics as no response to query or calls.

Gareth and his team were amazing on our Arctic Challenge adventure! Great knowledge about the areas, countries, food and culture. Very resourceful, friendly and has an obvious passion for adventure. Even in crazy blizzard conditions, I felt safe being guided by Gareth. Would highly recommend! He's also an epic photographer!

In August we did the "hiking in the arctic wilderness" tour. It was a really great tour. The landscape is amazing! With Gareth as our guide we had a really good time. We learnt so much about navigation, crossing rivers etc. It was a journey which we will keep in good memory. Also Gareth's and Elina's support were great. It started from planning the tour over lost backpack at the airport to having some last relaxing days before leaving. It was a overwhelming journey. And we think it won't be the last time, we come to Kilpisjärvi.

Best tour ever!!! My favorite tour ever, better than icebreaker 😂 I joined the four-hour tour, which included visit to the three cairns and scenic view up to mt. sauna Our tour guide was fantastic, attentive, ensuring everyone stayed warm and safe while making the journey so much fun They also took photos along the route Highly recommended.

One of the best experience I had in my life. Thank you so much Pekka ❤️ such a nice guide, such a wonderful tour in this powerful nature ! It was a cool mix between speed moments, ballade in the forest, and discoveries. I recommend 100%. It was a big tour of 3 hours

Amazing tours! Great guide, good gear and beautiful views. The tour also included a warm drink, a pastry and professional pictures . Could not recommend them more!

I had an amazing experience on the three borders and northern lights snowmobile tour this week. The tour guides were professional, friendly and always made sure our safety was a priority but also had a laugh and fun time with all the group. The landscapes were breathtaking and when we stopped for a break on each tour the tour guides provided us with a hot drink and donut and knowledge of the area. I would highly recommend going on these tours with this company.

The snowmobile tour was fantastic. It was very well organized, everything went according to plan, there was more than enough time to admire the scenery and spend time at the 3 borders. The extra clothing and boots provided enough warmth to enjoy the tour. The tour guide was constantly making sure everyone was always in the group whilst out riding the snowmobile, they were patient and ensured everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this tour company.

We did four tours organised by kilpis safaris while in Finland. Three were on snowmobiles and one was a snow shoe hike. All were really well organised, fun but safe. The snow mobiles are modern and easy to use. The gear they provide is good quality and warm enough for you to enjoy the activities despite really cold conditions . The guides speak good English are knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Completed the tour on the 14/1/24. Our tour guide was awesome. Easy to have a chat with, and was very patient. The views over the frozen lake are absolutely stunning. It’s a must. Nice little day trip from Tromsø.

What an absolute gem of a place! A stunning location for bungee jumping. Everything ran by super friendly and professional individuals. Oh, and do not hesitate to straight away book the second jump. The first one is such a great experience already. The second one - backflip - incredible and 1000% of pure awesomeness!

Great experience and very professional staffs

Absolutely awesome experience. We visited the place outside the bungee jump hours, so there wasn't that many people around. If you're not into jumping, I recommend visiting some other day when there isn't jumpers around as you can enjoy the views from the bridge in peace. Walk to the bridge is filled with nice views and there is also a fireplace with seats in some point of the trail. Highly recommended! PS. People with fear of heights might feel some anxiety on the bridge as the canyon is really deep :)

Great place to see 150 metres water fall.

Visited the bridge today, stunning place.

It was amazing!!

(Translated by Google) My first ever bungee jump, and what a place! This extraordinary experience, which is accessed after a 30-minute walk that helps us immerse ourselves in the surroundings, is highly recommended. The access road requires a more off-road vehicle; otherwise, drive very slowly. (Original) Pierwszy w życiu skok na bungee i to w jakim miejscu! Niecodzienne przeżycie, do którego prowadzi 30 minutowy spacer, pomagający nam wczuć się w klimat otoczenia, polecam wszystkim. Droga dojazdowa wymaga pojazdu o bardziej terenowym przeznaczeniu, w innym przypadku należy jechać bardzo wolno.

A nice view and the bridge was big and sturdy. If you don't want to hike from all the way down, there is a road that takes you almost all the way, only a small hike of 1.8 km if you drive to the end. The road is a bit steep and challenging, with sheep walking/sleeping along the way.

Easy walk. Good path with hardly any elevation change. I wouldn't recommend going with a stroller though because there are some rocks on the path. You can do it if your stroller has big wheels but it will be unpleasant. The parking costs about 170NOK or 15EUR per day on the Easypark app.

Loved it! Breathtaking view. I had seen a lot of pictures before visiting, but it did not prepare me for it. It cannot be captured in an image! Short, easy hike to the bridge. Don't forget to pay for parking. The road to the last parking is rocky, drive carefully.

Beautiful place. Road is awful and bumpy but it's kinda private road so you have to understand. Watch out for lambs. No chance to get up there with camper or caravan, but there's parking spot down at valley.

Incredible view! Quite easy trail to the waterfalls. Be aware of bad ground road to the trails.

Nice hiking trail by beautiful Kåfjord valley

Very nice view

It's been my dream to visit the cairn. This is where borders of Norway, Sweden, and Finland meet. The wonder of being in three countries at once is memorable in itself. Recommend either visiting in spring or just before onset of winter. Starting from Kilpisjärvi, Finland, the hike alone is worth it with the splendid views and scenic nature all around. I'd recommend bringing plenty of water and snacks to enjoy the nature here as one would have no idea how the hours just slipped by also do carry your first aid kit.

Treriksröset, the “three-country cairn,” marks where Sweden, Norway, and Finland meet. The area is surrounded by beautiful nature, and the cairn itself sits on Lake Golddajávri, connected by a short 10-meter metal walkway. Nearby, on the Finnish side, you’ll find two huts – one of them free to stay in overnight, no booking needed. There are several hiking trails, some quite demanding. Keep in mind that camping isn’t allowed in much of the Finnish side (north-east), as it’s a nature reserve, but it seems fine on the Swedish side. And if you’re visiting in the warmer months – don’t forget mosquito repellent!

Really nice place and views along the trail are awesome. Hike is about 12 kilometers on one way, so you should be really well prepared for this hike.

A very nice and short hike to your place, about a 30-minute walk if you take the boat. If it has rained, boots can be good but not necessary, and mosquito repellent is recommended.

Stunning location to visit all three counties at the same time. Norway, Sweden and Finland borders. Temperatures extremely cold on our snowmobile visit -30 🥶 We used kilpisjarvi safari and went as a group of over 20 people. Well organised trip with all your gear provided. Be sure to have hand and toe warmers. Also, thermals are a must !

FINOSE: Finland on left foreground, Sweden on the left background and Norway the (almost) whole right part of the pic. If you are mad about countries borders and where three of them meet AND you happen to find yourself in this area: this is a very good, nice and easy one to get! The cairn is just a round block of cement yellow painted with the marks of the countries, but the area around is also a beautiful example and mix of the kind of nature this part of the world is made. TO GET THERE: I had two options. One is - I was told - 6 hours 15km almost flat but very long trail from the latest parking area on the Norway side just before the border or after it from another trail starting point. The second in the summer - that I took - getting close via a boat service from 69.047326, 20.794309 (Kilpisjärvi). With the boat ticket, the crew gives you some explanation of the area, you get a nice view from the lake and, most important, the walking part is then less than an hour, less than 4 km on a flat path anyone, even unfit like me, can make. You are given about 2 hours once the boat get to the endpoint, before it sails again back to Kilpisjärvi. In the period I visit it (June 2024) there were only two timing: at 10 and 15 (Don't forget the CEST-EEST time change if coming from Norway!). You want to show up some few minutes in advance just to get in line to board. Card payment was possible on board. The boat won't sail if there aren't at least 5 persons. It was Sunday afternoon when I got there. The receptionist of my camping told me that more or less they always run, there was never too few passengers nor a too crowded moment in that. If you want to mix the options there is also a one-way ticket. Look for Mallalaiva website "three-country-cairn". I was lucky the day was little dry, but the ground can get muddy and wet, so you'd better not to risk going there with just flip flops. Also in some period flies and mosquitos are the real problem. I was advised to buy a head-mosquito-net. Didn't need that day, but long sleeves and keeping my mouth shut helped a lot.

Historic monument. Worth visiting with your own eyes. Splendid nature and hiking trail.

The ice climbing trip is just a fantastic experience and a must if you are visiting the area. I have done this previously and will be happy to do it again. A big thank you to Ulla and Mikal because you made this a very enjoyable and memorable day last Sunday. Your expertise gave me the confidence and reassurance in the climb. Also a big thank you to Jem for the tour on the snowmobile. Unfortunately the warm weather made the conditions not ideal but It was still a great day from start to finish. All of the activities that I have done have been first class but it is the people at Lyngen Adventure that make it so much more. You guys are the biz.

We booked the ice climbing experience just after New year's and had an incredible outing. At the office in Lyngseidet we were fitted with the necessary equipment and then our group of five was driven to a trailhead where we started our access to the frozen waterfall. The two guides set up topropes (safest way of climbing, no risk of a fall) and then we took turns up the ice. We started in arctic winter dusk/dawn and climbed into the dark before we retreated into a Lavvu (traditional Sami tent) for a fire, soup and traditional local snacks on reindeer hides. The guys not only took care of our safety but gave a lot of insights into the local flora, fauna, culture and other topics of interest. All in all a wonderful trip that we can recommend to any outdoorsy traveller in the Lyngen Alps. The program offered by Lyngen Adventure far exceeded our expectations.

Simply the most fun, great guides, fantastic weather, beautiful scenery

A good experience. A little bit of a conveyor belt as with all of these trips though

(Translated by Google) Went with Lyngen Adventure on a RIB trip from Lyngseidet and out to the Lyngenfjord during the summer holidays. Really recommended! As a local, I wasn't even aware of how beautiful the Lyng Alps were from the sea, really gave the impression of powerful nature. Our guide Mads did a fantastic job! (Original) Dro med Lyngen Adventure på RIB tur fra Lyngseidet og ut Lyngenfjorden under sommerferien. Anbefales virkelig! Som lokal var jeg ikke engang selv klar over hvor vakker Lyngsalpene var fra havet, ga virkelig inntrykk av mektig natur. Guiden vår Mads gjorde en kanonbra jobb!

(Translated by Google) Thank you Ulla and Edda for taking me to experience ice climbing. This is indeed an activity that challenges myself and exercises my willpower. It gives me great experiences and memories! Takk for turen! (Original) 謝謝Ulla和Edda帶我體驗冰攀，這確實是一個挑戰自我和鍛練意志力的活動，讓我有非常棒的經驗和回憶！Takk for turen！

(Translated by Google) Very nice. Alright (Original) Very Nice. Très bien

We really enjoyed the dog sledding trip. We loved the fact that we were our own small group and we could not only ride the dogs, but also harness them ourselves and pet them. It was snowing and it was just magical in the woods! Tommy told us a lot about the dogs and the living in Norway. It was a very entertaining and heartwarming evening!🐕‍🦺🥰

Incredible day out with the dogs. Tommy is a great guide who clearly loves his dogs dearly. We took a half day as it hadn't snowed, and it was the experience of a lifetime! Tommy also let us walk some dogs and took us for a sunset tea while he told us stories of dog sledding and answered all our questions. It was a highlight of our trip! Definitely worth every penny

Amazing Journey on saturday with Tommy et dogs ....So simple and warming welcome ...preparing the dog ,contact with them and Tommy is very easy to speak about all his wonderworld ...The snow was here, very early for the season and so fresh ...the dogs were happy for this first snow and us too ...all was very magical ...tanks for this enchanted parenthèses. A real passion for Tommy not a commercial business, that makes us à different experience. Thank you Tommy

This was one of the highlights of our trip, Tommy is passionate about what he does, the dogs are incredibly well taken care of, and the experience was top notch. It was very fun to learn how to mush, pet the dogs and hear Tommy’s stories.

Absolutely fantastic - couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. We did the half day and it was SO fun. Tommy is brilliant and so knowledgeable (ask him about his dog sledding races!!). This is so special because you get to harness the dogs, learn all about the sled and drive them yourself. There’s the option to sit on Tommy’s sled for the circuits if the driving makes you nervous. The dogs are SO fun and friendly and fast!

Incredible experience with Tommy as the guide. The dogs are well looked after and a part of the family. The sledding was fantastic and Tommy was very informative about the sport and the way of life in Norway. I highly recommend this tour, don't go wasting your money with the larger companies and book direct with the super Team Lyngen

Just do this! We had a perfect afternoon with Tommy and the dogs. The day turned into the highlight of our trip. Tommy educated the group on care of the dogs, race culture, and ensured everyone was comfortable and had fun driving the scenic landscape. It helped that was also had a gorgeous day with fresh snowfall. We would absolutely do this again (and would love to take our teens next time). Highly recommend!

Breathtaking scenery and a wonderful host. So peaceful and serene. If you’re lucky, you get to see the Northern Lights like we did in December 2024. Highly recommended to be in your bucket list.

wow nice and beautiful... very relaxing place... i want to come back soon

Fantastic place in the heart of the mountains😊awesome view and location!

Beautiful views, amazing surroundings and a pleasant host. Recommended

Wow very nice!

Great!

Very nice 😍

So many german reviews so i write one in english - not my first language so please be kind. Now the actual review: That was absolutly awesome! We pre booked another Tour from another company but it got cancelled on us last minute because of the autum rain. So we decided to book one day before having this Tour and cakled about cancelation but they were like: we don't cancel unless there is a hazard warnung. Eventhough it was raining cats and dogs it was an absolute Highlight of our Trip! They Provide you with warerproof Equipment, so don't worry about a thing. The dogs want to run and are super friendly, as well are the owners. We had such a great time and hope to return in Winter with snow :)

Completely exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our trip to Tromso! The whole service; from the explanations, conversation, extra clothing, teas and coffees after the sledding was absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed how you could ride yourself and it wasn’t just on flat ground, you were going up and down hills as well. Such an adventure, I will carry this memory with me for the rest of my life! Everyone in the family is so lovely also.

We had such a great time on this tour. It's a small norwegean family business tucked away in the mountains. So no tourist trap. Even though it snowed a lot we could drive the sled for one hour. What an amazing feeling being out there with these lovely dogs and driving the sled by yourself. Uphill you need to help them a bit so you need to have a little bit of fitness. The mountains around, just stunning. I can recommend it to anyone!!! It's an experience you'll never forget in your life.

Fantastic experience, authentic and beautiful location. Tomas and team keep it simple and make it memorable. The dogs are the stars of the show! Don’t forget to take a lunch and wear comfortable clothing - but good quality oversuits are provided. This is a small family business and well worth supporting - they’re the best!

Fantastic! Exceeded all expectations. The team was great and we learned a lot about the sport. Everything was well prepared and ready to go before we arrived. They had additional clothes and provided warm drinks for after the sledding. The dogs are super friendly and well cared for. Would definitely return to do this again!

Northern Light Dog Adventure does an exceptionally well dogsledding experience. These guys take pride in providing a small group experience and when we went it was just my wife and I which was great because they were able to personalize the experience to suite us. We took the sleds through all types of different, beautiful and challenging terrain and even took us to create new trails! The dogs seem very well taken care of too. If you enjoy the "real" experience, small groups and don't enjoy the large tourist traps this is the place for you.

This is a must visit place if you in the area. Thomas and his furry children made the ride smooth and worry free. Amazing views. Everything is well organized, instructions given were clear. Just use common sense, natural balance, control the speed and enjoy the ride.

Beautiful place! If you opt for piblic transport you can direct get down at the nearest bus-stop, Very accessible place. And if you really want to visit by walking, I would suggest, stay there till the sunset, enjoy beautiful colors and head back. Its just 2-2.5 kms from harbor area.

An inspiring piece of Nordic architecture with a relatively easy walk over the road bridge from the main part of Tromsø. The cathedral is slightly expensive for admission, and as we went a bit later in the day to see the stained glass lit up we didn't feel we would have had enough time inside for the cost. Other than that, it's a highly recommended place to visit if you are interested in Scandinavian design.

A modern structure sitting atop a hill, walkable from downtown area of Tromso. It is across the main bridge, about half an hour on foot or, by local bus. Since I'm not familiar with the bus route and I love walking, it suits me fine to cross the bridge. Make sure you walk on the path for pedestrians, not one for bicyclists. The wind is stronger across the bridge so bundle up. The cathedral was closed on the day I was in town, but it's nice to see the outside. A tall, erect structure in a giant triangle. There is not much outside to see, no garden, park or anything interesting so I didn't stay around long. Behind it is the route to the cable cars, interesting to take. $60 usd for the ticket if you like an aerial view of the town. The church itself is worth a walk to but unless it is open, visit nearby attractions such as the cable cars.

I visited the Arctic Cathedral on a sunny day, and it was absolutely beautiful. The architecture is so unique, and the light made it shine even more against the mountains and water. The view from there was stunning, definitely one of my favorite spots in Tromsø.

Beautiful piece of architecture! The lights come on at night and it looks even more spectacular. There is a fee to visit it inside. Side walks can be quite slippery so do have proper walking gear or even shoe spikes.

The Arctic Cathedral in Tromsø is truly beautiful. The unique architecture stands out against the surrounding landscape, and the big glass windows make it feel calm. Even just standing outside and looking at it is worth the visit.

A beautiful church, especially in the night. We twice took advantage of the thirty-minute organ concerts which are included within the 80 kroner entrance fee, one a mixed programme, the other Bach. The music was splendid, and the atmosphere so homely and warm.

We visited the garden a couple weeks ago (mid-September) and absolutely loved it! It was a great place to walk around and see so many different plants. The use of rocks for the paths and display was also very creative. This is a great place to visit when it’s not covered in snow!

Stunning views, very walkable hillslopes even for partly disabled, amazing huge international plant collection, and the best landscape architecture outside of Japan! Why? Painstaking selection & placement of every single stone, post, piece of gravel, plant, water features -- far beyond most of the planet's public gardens. No admission fee, no gates, no wait. Just amazing beauty.

Beautiful and free, what more can you want out of a Norwegian attraction. Bonus: beautiful views on the sea and mountains, and a few geocaches for those who are into it. Also a great photo opportunity in a reflective ball. Join another 1000 people who have done the same.

A beautiful botanic garden, with many different plants and flowers. Very colourful, beautifully designed and maintained. Free entrance to the gardens. We loved visiting the gardens and enjoyed our time there.

A great little garden in Tromso! We visited in summer when the flowers were blooming. Best thing is, it was free to enter! It is well maintained and easy to get to, with plenty of parking spots to offer and a nice trail if you are walking or riding your bike. Plenty of flora to see with nice little signs and information. Great little cafe on site, with a self served option. We got the waffles and surprisingly it was really nice! We were lucky to get a fresh batch and we got to top it ourselves. The garden also offers a path to walk to the university and the science centre just next/behind the garden if you wanted to explore more, but it's a great spot to visit if you're looking for a free activity in Tromso.

Great garden spent about 2 hrs here in the autumn and very beautiful scenery here It's about a 40min walk from city centre Free attraction if you have nothing else to do

Really worth visiting. Beautifully maintained garden with lots of plants from different sides of the world with prevailence of Arctic plants. You can rest here surrounded by wonderful plants and air of nice smells. Strongly reccommend.

best hot chocolate in northern Norway 🇳🇴 the Spanish barkeeper was incredible 🇪🇸

Wonderful place and very nice people! Perfect ski rental equipment in very good quality.

Modern ski resort with spectacular views, and within a 1-2 hour drive you´ll be able to reach a lot of other top attractions as well.

Fantastic place! The slopes and snow keep you sweaty all day and the northern lights come dropping down into your drink at night.

Best viewing spot for Aurora Borealis

Super
