The Heart of Lapland Rovaniemi
Signature Collection


Winter season 2026-2027 





 

Welcome to our collection of experiences, each created to share a different feeling of Lapland.

​

From the warmth of gathering around an open fire to the stillness of a winter forest, from the joy of discovery to the freedom of escaping into the wilderness, every experience has been shaped by the places, traditions and way of life that are part of our family’s home.

​

These are private experiences, created by us and shared with you in a personal and genuine way. We invite you to slow down, become part of the surrounding nature and discover Lapland through its flavours, stories, traditions and quiet moments.

​

Each experience has its own character, but all are connected by the same idea: to let you feel a little of what the Heart of Lapland feels like to us.
