the magical Northern Lights, Finland promises a winter incentive experience like no other.
Why Choose Finland for a Winter Incentive or Company Retreat?
Finland is one of the best European destinations for a high-impact winter incentive: a true Arctic setting, premium comfort, and unforgettable shared experiences that naturally strengthen team bonds. It’s ideal for offsites focused on celebration, adventure, and connection—with options ranging from elegant gala dinners to adrenaline-filled outdoor activities that bring people together.
Quick facts for planning
Best time to visit: December to March
This is when Lapland becomes a snowy wonderland, perfect for reindeer sleigh rides, downhill skiing, husky safaris, and curated Arctic adventures. (Exact activities depend on your base location and weather conditions—but the wow factor is consistently strong.)
Best airport options (Lapland)
Kittilä (KTT), Rovaniemi (RVN), Ivalo (IVL) — best choice depends on your base and venue.
Typical format
3–4 days (enough for one focused work block + 2–3 signature experiences).
What to plan early
Flights, transfers, winter gear support, and premium dinners/venues (availability can tighten quickly in peak dates).
Where to base your offsite
- Levi (premium hub + energy)
A top choice for incentive-style retreats: strong resort infrastructure, great dining options, spa programs, and a lively atmosphere—plus easy access to signature snow activities. - Ylläs (nature-first + calmer vibe)
Ideal if you want more wilderness and quiet while still having excellent winter experiences and skiing. - Rovaniemi (most “city-like” base)
Great if you want the easiest logistics and a wider “city” choice—while still reaching Arctic experiences. - Saariselkä / Inari (remote, premium wilderness feel)
Best for teams seeking a more exclusive, quiet, and authentic Lapland atmosphere with a strong “disconnect to reconnect” vibe.
Adventurous Team-Building Activities & Unforgettable Arctic Experiences
Snowmobiling
Explore the pristine Lappland wilderness on guided snowmobile tours.
This fast-paced adventure is a thrilling way for your team to bond while taking in the breathtaking Arctic scenery.
Husky Safaris
Feel the rush as a team of energetic huskies pulls your sled across the snow-covered tundra.
After the ride, spend some time playing with these friendly pups.
Reindeer Sleigh Rides
Reindeer safaris offer a peaceful way to connect with nature while experiencing a beloved local tradition.
Glide through snowy landscapes in a cozy sleigh, and enjoy a warm campfire with coffee and treats afterward.
Winter Rally and Ice-Karting
Channel your inner rally driver with thrilling ice-karting or learn the art of navigating icy roads at a winter driving academy. These unique activities combine fun and practical skills for an unforgettable day out.
World-Class Skiing and Snowboarding
Lapland is home to Finland’s best ski resorts, including Levi, Ylläs, and Ruka. Enjoy top-notch slopes, après-ski activities, and spa programs for a mix of adventure and relaxation.
Levi is Finland’s Premier Winter Offsite Destination. Located in northwest Finnish Lapland, Levi is the country’s top ski resort and an ideal base for winter retreats. From snow-based activities and spa programs to mountain-top dinners and lively nightlife, Levi combines adventure, relaxation, and vibrant team-building opportunities.
Northern Lights Hunting
Witnessing the Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In Finnish Lapland, the Northern Lights can be visible on roughly 200 nights per year, but sightings are never guaranteed and depend on cloud cover and solar activity. A guided aurora hunt (with flexible timing and multiple viewpoint options) gives your team the best chance—and the experience itself is a memorable highlight.
Winter is the perfect time to recharge your team’s morale and boost productivity. A winter incentive retreat in Finland helps combat seasonal blues while fostering creativity and collaboration.
