Day 2. Pyhä - Amethyst Mine Visit and Ice Fishing

Breakfast at the hotel. We begin our adventure with a day in nature, starting with a bus transfer to Ukko-Luosto to visit the Amethyst Mine. We will use the Pendolino (a small carriage pulled by a snow removal machine), which takes us to the top of Lampivaara, in the middle of Pyhä-Luosto National Park. The visit will begin with information and stories about the mine. After the explanation, we will head to the excavation area where we will have the opportunity to dig and find our own lucky amethyst. Light lunch during the excursion. We then continue to a large frozen lake by bus, where a fisherman will teach us how to fish with nets under the ice. It is a complicated and fascinating technique to observe. He will also show us the fishing technique with small rods that the Sami people have used for generations in Lapland. Each participant will have time to try their luck with the fishing rod through the ice. First, everyone will have to make their own hole and then attempt to fish. In this lake, we can find perch, pike, and lake herring. The feeling of walking on top of the ice, imagining that in summer it is more than 10 meters deep, is something completely inexplicable and you have to try it. Return to the hotel. Special Christmas Eve dinner at the hotel restaurant. Accommodation.

Day 3. Pyhä - Snowmobile Safari, Karting, and Mini Snowmobiles

Breakfast at the hotel. We put on our thermal suits again for one of the most spectacular excursions you can do in Lapland, a snowmobile safari. Local guides will explain how to drive them (in reality, it's very simple as they have no gears...) and the basic safety rules. During the journey, we will feel the power of these machines as we pass through the picturesque Lappish landscapes of snowy forests and frozen lakes. We will make a stop at a cabin by a frozen lake where we can admire the winter scenery and take photos of the Arctic forest. Light lunch in a Lappish kota. The kotas are the typical tents of the Sami people (Lapps), similar in shape to teepees or Native American tents. Afterwards, we will transfer to the karting track, where we will enjoy a completely new experience: driving special karts designed for snow or ice. Driving the karts is very easy, and this activity can be enjoyed by everyone (adults or children) with a minimum height of 150 cm (required to reach the accelerator and brake pedals). Children who are unable to drive the karts can take a ride in a special kart with a passenger seat driven by the guide and drive a snowmobiles, an experience they will undoubtedly not forget. Return to Pyhä and free time that can be used to enjoy a relaxing sauna or do some downhill skiing at the Pyhä alpine ski resort, located near the complex. The guide will inform you about the schedules, as you have a 3-hour lift pass and ski equipment included. Ask your guide about the lift ticket and ski equipment. Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Accommodation.

Riding in a husky-drawn sled is one of the most thrilling Arctic activities. Well-trained huskies can pull up to seven times their own weight. Light lunch at a local restaurant before we move on to a nearby reindeer farm. We will learn many interesting facts about these animals and experience the most traditional form of transportation in Lapland: a reindeer sleigh ride. The reindeer herder will take us on a journey where we can enjoy the winter nature that surrounds us. This ride is ideal for appreciating the snowy landscape, taking photos, and capturing videos. Return to the hotel. Rest of the day free. Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Accommodation.

Our guide will talk to us about the nature of the Lapland region and share interesting facts about the area. Lunch on your own. In the afternoon, the moment that all the children have been waiting for will arrive: the visit of our beloved friend, Santa Claus. While we wait to have a chat with him as a family, we can enjoy the hotel facilities or play games in the snow.

Haremos una parada en una cabaña junto a un lago congelado donde podremos admirar el paisaje invernal y tomar fotos del bosque ártico. Almuerzo ligero en una kota lapona.
