Extra Tours
At Pippin in Lapland we also offer a number of additional tours. Which one suits you?
Spend the night in an igloo (Quinzee)
Sleeping in an igloo is a super fun experience. The snow insulates against the cold outside and keeps wind and noise outside. On an air mattress and with warm sleeping bags you can sleep wonderfully. The igloo is close to our house and if it unexpectedly gets too cold you can go back to the house to continue sleeping.
During your five-day stay, you can spend a night in an igloo instead of in your bed. How cool is that! Inside it is around -1 to -4, while outside it can be as low as minus 20. In the Quinzee there is a lamp, a bed, an insulating air mattress and a warm sleeping bag. There is room for two people. If it gets too cold at night, you can go to the nearby house.

Moose safari
Moose are not easy to spot and usually keep far away from the human world. To spot these fantastic animals, you will go out today with Jan, who knows exactly where to find the secret places where the Moose live. Did you know that a male Moose can grow to be 3 meters long and 2 meters high?
This tour is done before or after snowshoeing and lasts about 3 hours. You leave the inhabited world and go by minibus towards the wilderness and the Caledonian mountain range. During the journey we keep an eye on forests and open marshes where the elk live, sometimes we stop to study the beautiful majestic animals and maybe we are lucky enough to get one on the picture. We smell the wilderness and the winter.
