In search for the best winter spots Kristin & I went on a road trip through Lapland in Finland and checked out all the things to do in Lapland and it was magical! More info: http://www.bemytravelmuse.com/things-to-do-in-lapland/ I know it took a while to finish editing this video as I had to struggle with the 4k video data I got from my new toy: the drone. I'm now able to shoot lovely aerial footage to give you an even broader picture of the destination. Our trip to finnish Lapland started in Rovaniemi with the visit of the Santa Claus village where we said hi to Santa himself and had some fun tubing and drinking at the ice bar in Snowman World. Snowmobiling was a great way to start our second day & I would say it's one of the must dos in Lapland for sure! Next stop was the area of Ylläs where we spent most of our time: ice sculpturing, snowshoeing, skiing, dog sledding, a reindeer safari, sauna and northern light sightings made this trip to once in a lifetime winter experience! --- equipment used to produce this video --- Cam1:Sony A7 II http://amzn.to/1Gfj8MU Cam2: Sony NEX 5 http://amzn.to/1FrMMxB Cam3: GoPro http://amzn.to/1GZdh1q Amazon Tripod http://amzn.to/1Of2HpJ Joby Gorillapod http://amzn.to/1CMyE0b Opteka SteadyCam http://amzn.to/1JCHAeb Zoom H2n Audio Recorder http://amzn.to/1FFVSt4 SDHC Memory Card http://amzn.to/1ygZzWD Waterproof Memory Card Case http://amzn.to/1FFWLCb Backpack Osprey Farpoint 40 http://amzn.to/1ceMOlo This road trip was executed in only a week with a rental car and a well planned itinerary - following I list all the places we visited & things to do in Lapland (Finland): - Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi - Snowman World, Rovaniemi (part of Santa Claus Village) - Snowmobile Tour with Lapland Safaris, Rovaniemi - Snow Village, Kittilä (igloo, ice sculpturing) - Ylläs Ski Resort, Ylläsjärvi & Äkäslompolo - Aurora Estate, Ylläs - Safartica Reindeer Safari, Kitillä - Snowshoeing, Äkäslompolo - Huskie Safari with Rami's Huskies, Kittilä - Sauna Gondola, Ylläs (Ylläsjärvi) === Made possible by Tourism Boards of: http://www.visitfinland.com http://www.visitrovaniemi.fi http://www.yllas.fi Hotels: Rovaniemi - Sokos Hotel Vaakuna Ylläs - Aurora Estate Tour Operators: Lapland Safaris Rami's Huskies Safartica Locations: Snowman World Snow Village, Kittilä Sauna Gondola, Ylläs --- my travel equipment --- insurance http://www.back-packer.org/worldnomads_versicherung packing list http://www.back-packer.org/patagonia-packing-list-trekking/ Online Language Course http://www.back-packer.org/babbel_eng === My personal recommendations for Hotels & Hostels: http://www.back-packer.org/best-hostels-and-hotels/ === Music: http://www.Epidemicsound.com Follow me: http://www.back-packer.org http://www.twitter.com/BackPackerSteve http://www.facebook.com/BackPackerBlog
