This was a family adventure that brought together kids from Texas, Virginia and Germany. Meri of Snowest Travels put together an incredibly comprehensive set of activities that impressed the adults and I think wowed the children. Briefly these included: - a timely early morning pickup at the train station following an overnight from Helsinki -awesome breakfast spread by the Rovaniemi Cafe -out to Santa’s Village where pledges were made about next years behavior and walk under the arctic circle - a stop for cold weather gear that was top shelf and necessary (made outdoor activity actually fun for all ) - the house Snowest had for us was incredible, perfect for our families with 6 rooms, kitchen area and great room. Snow everywhere, frozen lake, trails and beautiful night views. Perfect accommodations. - a reindeer farm and sleigh rides with one of the few women reindeer farmers(ranchers) not just a ride but a complete lesson on the reindeer and Place in the Finn culture. Wonderful Reindeer stew and finally hot chocolate around outdoor fire, first class day - dog sled rides with a real “musher”. Up and coming international racer, again just not a quick touch and go but details on the sport, raising and training of the dogs, allowing the older kids to help break down and get the dogs back on board the transit and more hot chocolate in the lake shelter - snowmobiles just plain fun - a trip to the local zoo highlighting northern species in natural habitat. Our escort on this side trip was extremely knowledgeable and made it a continuing education event. Well done. Somehow he got us in ahead of the other groups and kept us away from the bigger crowds -of course there was ice fishing and it was quite successful, some caught 2 or three fish even Meri was impressed. - finally they arranged a New Years Dinner at the house for the adults by The Chef from the Rovaniemi Cafe. Incredible and very special. - I can’t say enough good about how we were treated by Snowest Travel. Meri , Jahny (sp?) and our zoo escort. They were first class, they know the area and the people, world class adventure for our family through their efforts…

We visited Finland (Lapland) during Christmas with 2 teens and one young child. We booked all the activities through Meri. Meri is amazing, she’s professional, friendly and kind. She organized everything perfectly - activities and restaurants, and was available to every need we had. We visited Rovaniemi and Saariselkä and enjoyed every day. We highly recommend Meri and Snowest Travels.…

We hired our Lapland activities with Meri in Snowest and everything was simply perfect, much better than what we thought. We also rented her house in Rovaniemi (such a nice house...) Meri is the perfect host, always helping, always smiling and the activities we chose were perfectly organized. Snowest are very highly recommended for your activities tours if you visit Lapland.…
