- Private transfer to the Pyhätunturi fell Lapland, one of the rarest destinations in Finland with over 2 billion-year-old history.
- Check-in to your exclusive wooden cottage with a private sauna and spacious loft. Pickup and transfer from Rovaniemi to Pyhä-Luosto, the first carbon-neutral ski resort in Finland. Fells older than 2.5 billion-year-old, deep gorges slicing through ancient rugged hills, old-growth forests which whisper the stories of forest Sami history and windswept treeless fell-tops -the Pyhä-Luosto Fell region is truly one of the rarest destinations in the world.
- Check-in to the atmospheric wilderness lakeside resort with the backdrop of the fell scenery of PyhäLuosto National Park, the oldest national park in Finland. We have the evening at leisure to relax and explore the beautiful premises of the lakeside resort on the backdrop of Pyhä fells.

- As the names rightly suggest, the area holds tremendous importance to the beginnings of Christianity and the mystical beliefs of Forest Sámi tribes.
- It is quite an unfathomable and humbling moment to breathe into the same air and walk over the same atoms which have seen the evolution and changes of over two billion years. The guide would enlighten us with the interesting geological history of the area and Sámi culture.

- We will explore the farm, and will be given a chance to feed them their favourite food, forest lichen, which to reindeer is like chocolate! The visit will end with a very friendly time around the fire in the company of a herder who will answer all our questions on one of the oldest traditions in lapland - reindeer husbandry, and share their passion with us.
- Once we have had a great time with the reindeer, we will be introduced to the canoes. Our qualified canoe guide will teach us the basic techniques on how to canoe and will provide us with all the safety instructions needed.
