True Lapland, located in the countryside of Rovaniemi, about 30 km from Santa Claus Village, offers authentic and responsible experiences in the heart of Lapland – far from mass tourism and close to real Arctic life. The core of the operation is locality, respect for nature, and unhurried activities in small groups. Guests are invited to experience Lapland as locals do: in silent forests, under the northern lights, by an open fire, following the rhythm of the seasons.
True Lapland provides tailor-made nature and outdoor experiences such as northern lights tours, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and traditional wilderness skills. Each experience is carefully adapted to the wishes of the guests and current weather conditions, with safety and authenticity always coming first. Local stories, traditions, and the northern way of life are naturally woven into everything that is done.

Korouoma Wilderness Café is a family-run business from Posio, located within the Korouoma Nature Reserve, about a 1.5-hour drive from Santa Claus Village. Our guided tours to the frozen waterfalls from Rovaniemi take guests into landscapes where our family has lived, grown, and travelled for generations. Along the way, guests hear local stories about the history of Korouoma and life in the area, and the experience culminates in traditional Lapland-style treats, enjoyed in the café’s unique atmosphere.
The cozy café’s food is made entirely from scratch using local ingredients, with roots in the traditional cuisine of northeastern and eastern Lapland. Warm hospitality and respect for nature guide all activities.
Accommodation is also available: two cabins at the trailhead and two wilderness huts deeper in the canyon. Catering services are offered as well, from campfire meals to cozy dinners and larger celebrations, including in remote locations.
Korouoma offers experiences throughout the year – frozen waterfalls in winter, flowing waters in spring, lush groves in summer, and the vibrant colours of autumn foliage.

Step into Santa’s Sleigh Flight, a cinematic 360° VR experience for all ages, located at Santa’s Gift House in the heart of Santa Claus Village.
As the sleigh begins to move, you’ll feel it gently lift into the 360° VR world around you. The wind brushes past your cheeks, the bells jingle softly, and soon you are gliding high above Lapland’s snowy forests. Together, you’ll visit Santa’s workshop, fly under dancing Northern Lights, and laugh your way through a playful icy roller-coaster ride.
This is more than a ride – it’s a magical memory waiting to be made. A feast for the senses, where children’s eyes sparkle and adults rediscover a sense of pure, carefree joy.
And even if the real sky hides its colors… Only we can give you a 100% guaranteed view of the Northern Lights – a moment of wonder all your own.
The Haunted Walk is a unique destination located in Rovaniemi’s countryside some 40 km from Santa Claus Village. The Haunted Walk leads you through a secluded woodland trail filled with dark artistic installations, symbolic forest settings, and unsettling scenes such as The Inn of the Dead and The Lost Ravens’ Manor. The route is designed to evoke a sense of eerie storytelling, blending theatrical elements with visual surprises along the way.
The trail doesn’t base on jump scares, but is rather built to spark imagination and curiosity. It’s ideal for those looking for something different, atmospheric, and creatively unsettling.
After the walk, you’ll visit The Gallery of Dark Arts, a unique gallery featuring horror-inspired artwork, ghost-themed sculptures, and other odd pieces. The evening can be continued around an open fire, where warm drinks are served. On clear nights, there’s even a chance to spot the northern lights.
The destination is open all year around. During the winter season, we welcome visitors only by prior arrangement in order to ensure the best possible experience for our guests.

A comfortable Adventure Bus provides direct transport from Rovaniemi city center and Santa Claus Village in winter. Discover the magic of Pyhä’s winter landscapes easily and safely, all year round with advance booking.
