Tromsø & Kilpisjärvi Arctic Route Experience

Tromsø & Kilpisjärvi Arctic Route Experience

What to expect

Overview

Classic Standard – This is a new itinerary that has the same thoughtful route design, trusted local partnerships and carefully paced experiences that define our travel style, with accommodation centred on comfortable 3-star hotels in convenient locations.

This six-day journey combines two of the Arctic's most compelling destinations, beginning in the vibrant Norwegian city of Tromsø before venturing deep into the Finnish wilderness of Kilpisjärvi, one of the most remote and unspoiled corners of northern Europe.

Far from the light pollution of larger resorts, this is the real Arctic, raw and vast and breathtaking, where the chances of witnessing a vivid Northern Lights display are among the finest anywhere in the region.

The itinerary has been designed by our local Nordic specialists to go well beyond the standard Lapland experience, trading familiar tourist trails for something altogether more authentic and immersive.

In Tromsø, the adventure begins in style with a dog sledding experience in the wilderness surrounding the city, mushing your own team through snow-covered Arctic landscapes with the Norwegian fjords as your backdrop.

From there, the journey continues deep into Finnish Lapland and the extraordinary wilderness of Kilpisjärvi. Here you will join a Sami guide to learn about the ancient traditions of reindeer herding, try your hand at ice fishing on a frozen lake, and explore the silent Arctic night on a snowshoe adventure under a sky full of stars.

A snowmobile excursion to the iconic border point where Finland, Norway and Sweden meet is a particular highlight, a genuinely rare experience in one of the most dramatic settings the north has to offer. All specialist winter clothing is provided for every activity, and our local team will be with you throughout to ensure you get the most from every moment.
