A winter holiday that combines adventure, community and unforgettable experiences: "Join The Crew", a provider of outdoor group tours, is offering special trips to Lapland in the 2024/2025 winter season. Here, in the northernmost part of Finland, solo travelers between the ages of 20 and 39 can expect a mix of sporting activities, breathtaking nature experiences and intense group bonding.
Lapland is considered one of the most spectacular winter travel destinations in Europe. With snow-covered landscapes, low temperatures of up to -30 degrees and the promise of almost guaranteed snowfall, the region offers ideal conditions for activities such as snowshoe hiking, husky sledding and snowmobile tours. But what really makes Lapland unique are the "Big Five" of adventure tourism: Northern Lights, fat bike tours, barbecue evenings in traditional Lappish wooden huts (kotas), sauna visits followed by ice baths and unforgettable encounters with reindeer.
The journey begins with a flight to Kittilä Airport, from where the crew of up to eleven people is taken to their cozy holiday home. Here, surrounded by untouched nature, the participants experience a week full of adventure and community.
Unforgettable experiences with “Join The Crew”
A highlight of the tour is the hunt for the Northern Lights. Equipped with snowmobiles and accompanied by experienced local guides, you head out into the wilderness, where the green and pink lights of the northern sky create magical moments. The snowshoe hike in Ylläs National Park also impresses the participants: Absolute silence, fresh powder snow and the fascinating contrast of the dark forests and white blanket of snow create a unique atmosphere.
The husky sleigh ride is particularly popular, where travelers glide through the snowy landscape and get to know the dogs up close. After such an adventure, the Lapland Kotas with their rustic fireplace provide culinary experiences. Grilling together, eating and warming yourself by the fire strengthens the sense of community and makes the trip a bonding experience.
snowmobile safaris and encounters with reindeer
Another attraction is the snowmobile safari with the operator Tokka Safaris, which is based in Levi, a winter sports center in Lapland. Here, participants not only learn how to drive a snowmobile safely through the winter landscape, but also get up close and personal with Lapland's famous reindeer. At a reindeer farm, they learn more about the close relationship the locals have with these animals and are even allowed to feed them. Tokka Safaris' tours are valued for their warmth and professionalism and are steadily gaining in popularity.
The concept of "Join The Crew" is based on community and exchange. Solo travelers get to know like-minded people and experience how quickly strangers can become friends. Contacts are often formed that last beyond the trip together. The organization receives special praise from Piia Väänänen, a guide from Tokka Safaris: "The participants' thirst for adventure and team spirit are something very special," she says.
