5.00We spent an unforgettable day with Lapland Welcome. In the morning we group of seven (aged 8 to 58) took the snowmobile tour and an hour later four of us took the cross-country skiing tour, accompanied by the fantastic guide Mattia. Mattia took us to a fairytale landscape, among snowy trees and immaculate snow, meeting only a couple of local cross-country skiers. At one point we left the marked path to follow a path he knew, to a frozen lake. Although we were all beginners, Mattia with kindness and patience explained the rudiments, followed us constantly and encouraged us to enjoy the peace and nature of this wonderful place. He also took some beautiful photos, which we received in the following days. We were really happy to be accompanied by Mattia: professional, prepared and always attentive to everyone. We absolutely recommend Lapland Welcome for an authentic and well-organized experience in Lapland!
Already one of my favorite activities in the snow

5.00My first cross country skiing with Lapland Welcome was phenomenal. As a beginners, my husband and I had the most patient instructor who tied up even our shoes for us. Once on the trail Gustaw taught us the ABC’s of cross-country skiing and the adventure began. After a couple of falling (just another part of the fun) we had a break for some hot beverage and Finnish cookies. We ended up skiing on a frozen lake. I always felt safe and confident with our instructor. I’m delighted we picked this activity in Rovaniemi, now is already included as my favorite in the snow.

Our guides were knowledgeable and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience, always paying close attention to our needs. This was one of the best outdoor activities I've done in a long time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exciting and fulfilling adventure.

5.00Fabulous half day trip! All of us were first timers - our guide explained everything clearly, had a smile on his face the whole time and continuously checked on everyone - each going at our own pace. I’ve only been skiing twice and didn’t actually like it. I booked this as my partner wanted to try cross country and I’m so glad I did. The track has grooves in it which your skis slot into, making it so much easier than downhill skiiing. I can’t recall our guide’s name but he was originally from Chile and was super patient with all our group. We had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
We loved it
