Top Lapland Classes & Workshops

We had a magical afternoon with my 7-year-old son, busy drawing and painting with beautiful glass feathers in a cozy atmosphere. Jouni demonstrates and explains things incredibly well (my son speaks Finnish, but Jouni also communicates very well in English). He was able to help us improve our creations. He didn't hesitate to give my son a little help only when needed, while actively involving him in the entire creative process. We left with lovely gifts and the desire to return.

5 stars for Marko!He gave us a clear and helpful lesson, with great tips to get started quickly, and answered all our questions. We then did a beautiful round while he shared interesting stories about skiing and local history. He’s knowledgeable, good-humoured, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We had a great time with family. In a warm, calm and relaxing environment.

If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable cross-country skiing experience in the heart of Finland, look no further than Kemi – and especially Marko as your guide.From the very beginning, everything was easy and well organized. Marko even picked us up, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. He took the time to explain the basics of cross-country skiing clearly and patiently, making sure everyone felt comfortable before we started. As a beginner, I really appreciated how he showed us the proper techniques and helped us get confident on the skis.Marko’s deep knowledge of the local trails and Finnish wilderness was apparent as he guided us through some of the most stunning landscapes I’ve ever seen. We skied through peaceful, snow-covered forests and across beautiful winter scenery with crisp, fresh Arctic air all around us.What really set this experience apart was Marko himself. He was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He shared local stories and insights about the region and life in Lapland, which made the tour feel personal and special.I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kemi, whether you’re a first-time skier or more experienced. Marko tailors the trip to your skill level and makes sure everyone feels comfortable and included.An amazing winter experience I would definitely do again!

This was such a unique experience! We had the chance to visit a local cottage and received wonderful guidance while creating our one-of-a-kind paintings. I would definitely recommend adding this to your list of things to do while in Rovaniemi. A super fun and welcoming experience!

It was a nice experience to paint the Northern Light, very suitable to beginner painter and non-skilled individual.. the workshop is located in a quite and beautiful area.

If you are hesitating about which agency to pick, here is the precious advice: choose Bliss adventures.They have certainly chosen the right name for their business. I went aurora hunting with cars and everything was great... the guide was really cool and the tour was supposed to last for 3.5 hours, ending at 23h. But then some really nice auroras started appearing a little before 23h so we stayed and watched and the tour ended up lasting 45 minutes longer, with no extra charge.All this to say that they really put their heart into it and they create a truly authentic experience.Also, their philosophy is amazing, they are going to include local people and local families to participate in the activites, so in the following months and years, Bliss adventure will become even more blissful.Contact them for any adventure you wish to have, they really make an effort and are definetly the right choice to experience Lapland in the most authentic way possible.

The guide is good and experienced and knows how to give you many tips on both spotting and photographing the Northern Lights. We were taken to the lake where we had an unobstructed view. And even though the chances of seeing the Northern Lights were small, we were able to admire them beautifully. In addition, the guide was very welcoming and we were well looked after. We got headlights, warm puffer coats for over our coats, hot berry juice and we were dropped off at our cottage. Highly recommended!

When you come to Rovaniemi it's all about the Winter Wonderland experience! For me it is not only to discover the beautiful countryside and feel the beauty of Lapland, but also having a cozy evening and spending a good time with friends. Elves Event really knows how to make you feel home away from home! As soon as you entre and change from your snow-boots to the cosy socks, you feel like staying forever. The atmosphere with the music in the background, the little treads they provide you makes this stays like spending time at your friends place. But the best part about this event is, that you are creating your own candle. There are five different flavors you can choose from, I went for the vanilla one. Now, as I am back from my wonderful stay in Rovaniemi, I love to light up my vanilla-candle which brings me immediately back to the feeling of "watching outside of the window, marvel at the white landscape while sitting inside holding a warm cup of tea in your hand". If you wanna stay home away from home, go and check out Elves Event!

Elves Event… I am crushing on them. They are stuck in my mind; I wish I could go back as soon as possible. When I attended their event, they listened to all of our wishes and communicated well with us, the staff were like rays of sunshine and the atmosphere was legendary. There is no other word for it. Elves Event worked like a stress relief for me, my mind wasn’t going all around, I was living in the moment.“You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.” Johnny Depp

Beautiful skiing experience with Marko, our instructor who with great sympathy and experience guided us for the first time in this activity!! Definitely if we return to Lapland we will go back to him for a second ride and I highly recommend to those who come here to try this experience with Marko!

Incredible few hours, it was a nice relaxing experience and we were taught about the symbols and their meaning. Highly recommend as it was a unique experience and we love our keepsakes.

I really loved the craft workshop. I especially appreciated how everything had been thought through down to the smallest details. Just to name a few: the sign and the lantern outside, the theme-appropriate textiles, the reindeer hides on the benches, the careful layout of the tools on the table, the background music, etc.A beautifully executed experience with great quality and style✨ The instructions were very clear, and help was always available when needed. The atmosphere in the workshop was relaxed, calm and unhurried. There was plenty of time to chat, reflect, and work at your own pace. Even though finishing took some time, there was no pressure or rushing.The location was excellent and easy to reach both by car and on foot. The views were stunning, and a special plus for having the workstation set up by the window.Thank you so much! I can warmly recommend this experience 🤎🦌

Marko is such an excellent teacher. After my first lesson, I left there sking🏂⛷️😀😄😁😃⛷️🏂It was so much fun. Marko, gave very clear and precise instructions. Couldn't ask for any better. And the photo shoot at the end was hilarious 😁😃😄😄

We are very pleased with how our artworks turned out, even as not the most creative persons we've got the most sweetest memories in our hands & soon on our walls. The housekeeper was a heartwarming person who has an astounding talent for this kind of art & did wonderful explanation as well as some helping guidance. The food & drinks offered were lovely & tasty, & we want to say a big thank you again for all this experience! Also Kudos to the kind driver Andre for this pleasent & comfortable drive & pickup-service, it was absolutely delightful I have to say!

At the event, a small souvenir of the trip to Lapland is produced. A narrow disc of reindeer antlers is painted. This can be used to make a keychain, a pendant for a leather strap or something with a magnet. It is something for those who want to be creative. Finally, everything is nicely packaged.
