What To Expect

Welcome to a memorable Arctic night! Take a seat around the fire with your family and friends, and listen to some old legends and tales of Finland! Your guide will take you into some dark forests or some empty frozen lakes outside Rovaniemi where you will enjoy a relaxing and cultural evening. Lit by the cracking flames of an open fire, you will travel through old stories and ages to discover more about the Finnish culture, traditions and life in the Far North. This story-telling experience will also be an opportunity to taste some local snacks prepared by your guide directly on the fire, while listening to their stories. This tour is organised in small groups only in order to allow a proper connection with the surrounding nature and have a relaxing time. So, ready for an evening that you will never forget? During the best nights, Northern lights can even come to visit you and dance over your head, while you listen to some local stories. But this story-telling experience is also a great alternative for nights when auroras are not visible due to bad weather.

Great evening with our guide Camille and a Canadian couple 😊 We learned a lot about the legends of the Sami and Finland as well as the culture! We spent the evening in a typical Finnish kota around a fire, and we enjoyed delicious pancakes made on the fire with berry jam! As always with Nordic Odyssey, the guides really know and we were able to discover many new things about Finland and Lapland 😊 A big thank you to Camille for her explanations and this evening!
Great experience!

We spent a very nice evening with Camille and Mathis. The setting was great (and suitable in case of rain or cold), we feasted on stories and pancakes with berries. We recommend this experience!
Superb original experience!

The legendary evening excursion is superb! It’s an exceptional moment that we’re not used to experiencing. The evening takes place under a teepee in the countryside, around a fire. We share a great moment of conviviality together, it’s very warm. The guide was able to explain to us the history of the creation of Finland, especially Lapland, the peoples, the legends who founded Lapland. It’s a real moment of sharing, and it allows you to learn a lot of information about Finland, which is very enriching. All this is done around a fire and crepes cooking on it, truly exceptional! So if you want to learn more about Lapland, its creation, the way of life, ask questions, spend a warm moment and all this around a fire while eating pancakes, I invite you to take this excursion, it's worth it. penalty ! Nordic Odyssée is a great agency, each guide is great and always attentive! You can go there with your eyes closed, it's really worth it :)
Legendary evening

This was a highlight of my trip. Martin was passionate about the people he spoke of and their legends. It was lovely just sitting by the fire listening to him speak. The pancakes were pretty good, too. Highly recommend

Very nice evening in a tepee around the fire. Doing it at the beginning of the stay is a real plus to learn and discover the legends of the region. The possibility to choose in French is a real plus in the trip. The evening passes very quickly and our storyteller Martin is a real passionate what it feels like in his story. I recommend the experience to all age groups not just those accompanied by children.
Excellent evening around the fire

Very nice evening in a teepee around the fire. We learned a lot about the legends thanks to our passionate guide, while enjoying very good pancakes cooked over a wood fire. Evening quite suitable for our 6 year old daughter. The icing on the cake: we started the evening by observing the stars quickly, and ended it with an aurora borealis (the only one of our stay!)
Excellent evening

Very nice evening. to do at the beginning of the stay to learn all kinds of Finnish anecdotes. You will discover legends but also current customs. The Finnish mentality is better understood. all around the fire and good blueberry jam pancakes cooked over a wood fire. It changes from grilled sausage;-)
