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.

True Lapland is not just an activity provider, but a complete Lapland experience – calm, honest, and memorable. If you want to truly see and feel the real Lapland, you are in the right place.
We are two small entrepreneur families from a little village in Rovaniemi’s country-side – right next to the mystical Pisavaara Nature Reserve, surrounded by the pure, untouched wilderness and perfect silence of Lapland. Our company SnowTrail Safaris was born from the desire to share what is everyday life for us but a dream for many: the peace of Lapland, the power of nature, and genuine human connection. We believe that the best experiences grow from honesty, transparency, and authenticity. Every guest matters to us, and we want to offer a warm, personal experience – one that stays in your heart long after the northern lights have faded from the sky.
We are known for our cheerful and relaxed service that comes straight from the heart of Lapland. All of us hold an official Travel industry safety passport, ensuring that every adventure with us is both safe and carefree – whether it’s an electric reindeer safari, northern lights tour, or a quiet moment surrounded by nature.
