拉普兰私人庄园冰湖桑拿烤三文鱼晚餐之夜



Alex自家的庄园,打理得很棒!热桑拿之后可以快速跑到室外裸体跳近冰湖,也可以选择跳进松软的雪地里。庄园很大周围都没有人,所以不用担心。我跟妈妈一起去的,两个人都这么干了!很疯狂的经历!
之后Alex和他的妻子Daniel为我们准备了美味的烤三文鱼晚餐,有说有笑with他们家的狗狗lumi很开心。他给我们介绍了庄园的情况,不同季节的景色的照片,会有哪些植物,湖里都有哪些鱼,周围都有哪些野生动物出没,还带我们参观了工具仓库,里面有三台铲雪车等等,很热情却很周到!最难忘的活动项目,强烈推荐去!

I must say that me & my friends are fully enjoyable and feeling warm with this Traditional Lappish Evening that hosted by Alex~! We've experienced the little slideable-chair on the frozen lake, special Sauna in the firewoods plus jumping into the ice water in the fascinating lake~!!!
After experiencing the Sauna & icewater-jumping, Alex & his wife already prepared the grilled salmon with Lappish side dishes & veggies. All of them are delicious and sweet with the warm and romantic set-up table inside the house just opposite the cottage.

THE BEST SAUNA EXPERIENCE EVER YOU CAN NOT MISS IN ROVANIEMI!!!!!!



We have recently enjoyed the best Sauna experience ever we could imagine in Rovaniemi. Alex and his wife were an excelent host for this activity and took us (A couple with two kids) to their really nice cottage by the lake just 30 min away from the Santa Claus Village where we were staying.
The place was like a dream, really nice house and incredible sauna little cottage, just in front of the lake therefore perfect for the Sauna+buterfly snow swim+lake swimm. All very nice light up with candles up to the lake. At the Sauna we found towels, sneakers, water, coffee, tea and some sweets wich was an unexpected plus for this experience. Once inside the Sauna just plenty of time to relax and enjoy the evening.
After Sauna and swimm great experience we enjoyed a lovely grilled Salmon dinner in the Cottage, really very nice atmosphere with the candles and the nice set up of the table where we enjoyed some of the lappish dishes.
We are a couple with two kids (14, 7 years) and really enjoy all of us the great experience and actually something really memorable for the family. Therefore even if it doesn't sound like a family fun activity we would highly recomended as well together with the rest of activities you can do in Rovaniemi (Huskies, Reindeers,.....)
Alex and his wife were at all time very nice with us and explained us many issues and facts of Finland and Rovaniemi. They were a really great Hosts!!!

Great experience of Sauna and the nice place



It's a great end to our holiday in Lapland. Thanks Alex and his wife.
传统芬兰浴,尽管我们没敢往冰窟窿里跳,但依然是个很棒的体验。蜡烛、桑拿标配的香肠和果汁,还有手工曲奇,一个温馨而美好的夜晚。Alex(主人)给我们看夏天的照片,野果、蘑菇,超级赞!值得再去。为我们的拉普兰之旅划上圆满句号。谢谢Alex和他的太太。

Best sauna ever! Highlight of my Lapland trip.



I went on the Lappish evening tour and I loved it from start to finish. We drove to a lovely spot in the forest by a frozen lake where they have a traditional cottage and wood-fired Finnish sauna. It was lit up with lanterns and torches and looked so welcoming. It was so peaceful and the sky was beautiful with so many stars!

Everything was provided in the sauna: towels, slippers, wood for the fire, cold water, hot water, tea, oils for scent and a walkie talkie in case you need anything else! When I wanted to cool down I could walk outside into the snow and look up at the constellations - it was an almost spiritual experience. It was the best sauna experience I have ever had - much better than a hotel sauna.

The other people in my group tried ice fishing in the frozen lake. After the sauna, we enjoyed delicious wood-fired salmon with simple vegetables and potatoes as well as (non-alcoholic) Gloggi and cinnamon cookies. Alex was very knowledgable and informative about many things to do with Finland.

Even though we did not see the aurora that night, I had already seen it on a different night so I did not mind. This trip was one of the highlights of my trip to Lapland. Thank you very much Alex & Tanya. I would highly recommend it.

Traditional Lapland evening



We visited the program "traditional Lapland evening", were very satisfied with this place and its employees. Host Alex was very nice and showed us a lot of new things like going to the traditional wood-burning sauna, swimming in the ice-hole, we tried the snowshoes and ended the evening with dinner in a cozy wooden cottage. highly recommend this place!

Lappish Evening



The evening started by meeting Alex, who picked us up from our accommodation and drove us straight to his sauna by the lake. There was a dressing room inside containing everything we could possibly need. We did three sessions of sauna. When taking a break, we sat on a bench outside, in -14 deg. Celsius. It didn't seem cold at all. Then, after running approx. 10m, we jumped into a hole in a frozen lake. Its hard to describe the feeling but it's definitely experience of a lifetime. A tasty dinner made by Alex & his wife in a building nearby concluded this great evening.

Make sure to dive in the frozen lake. The alternative is jumping into a snow which, somehow counterintuitively, felt much colder!

Absolutely Dreamy!

This was such a magical experience. Alex is the best host with such a warm and generous spirit. We really enjoyed all of his knowledge. The float was so incredible and relaxing albeit slightly chilly, but amazing how the suits work to keep you dry and cozy. Loved laying on the ice of the frozen lake. Loved warming by the cozy fire in the absolutely adorable cottage. I wish I could have lasted longer in the swimming hole! I never felt rushed for time, and was always confident we’d be well taken care of. I can’t say enough about this treasure of making such a memory!

Fantastic floating experience by wonderful local hosts



Alex and his partner were wonderful hosts. The lake/ice floating was a cool experience. The entire experience had a very local feel as we were hosted at their lakeside house, given hot Berry juice by a wood fire and sat and spoke about Finnish life for a long time. They ensured you had a true Finnish experience. Highly recommend this local family group
