3. Unmatched Winter Wonderland Experiences
The Appeal of Snow Tourism
India has limited snow experiences—mostly in the Himalayas—and often with crowds, traffic, and inconsistent weather. Nordic countries, on the other hand, offer storybook winter settings that look straight out of Christmas movies.
Rovaniemi: Santa Claus Village
One of the biggest attractions for Indian families is the official Santa Claus Village in Finland’s Lapland. Children and adults alike love meeting Santa, crossing the Arctic Circle line, visiting the Santa Post Office, and enjoying winter theme parks.
Snow Activities That Indians Rarely Experience
The Nordic North offers:
- Husky sledding
- Reindeer sleigh rides
- Ice fishing
- Snowshoeing
- Snowmobile safaris
- Ice hotel stays
- Frozen lake sauna experiences
- Arctic Circle crossing ceremonies
- Icebreaker ship cruises through frozen seas
These activities are rarely found elsewhere, making the Nordic region a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Living in Glass Igloos and Snow Hotels
Stays like Arctic SnowHotel, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Apukka Resort, and Icehotel Sweden have become viral sensations. Indians love these luxury stays because they combine nature, novelty, romance, and stunning photography opportunities.
