Mystical Adventure through Lapland
- Short Description: Experience the mystical sides of winter in Lapland! The vast
open areas of the Lappish Tundra, the old forest of the Taiga
and the frozen rivers; flowing gently through the surreal
landscapes. The best way to experience this is by huskies,
snowmobile and snowshoes. We combine all during this
adventurous week through one of the last untouched parts
of the World!
