Wild Nordic’s, with its integrated set of Lappish values like pure nature, unique activities and dedicated staff, expertise lies in creating itineraries with a twist on activities which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Our aim is to give your clients something priceless – the reward of motivating their company’s employees to desire to keep striving for the next reward.
For those new in incentive travel as well as incentive power houses with a long portfolio, Lapland has become an evergreen wild card destination they can offer alongside traditional incentive destinations. Lappish natural elements offer unpaired wintry landscapes, providing opportunities like enjoying a welcome dinner in the ice restaurant or going towards the non-conventional like ice climbing.
Imagine the silence at the edge of a frozen lake, as your team learns Arctic survival skills. To get the action going, snowmobiling with our experienced guides is a must, either as a taster or for a multi-day expedition, for those who have been traveling for years and want something different than the usual tourist trip. Why not be pioneers and visit the Arctic Ocean on snowmobiles with the best snowmobiling gear in Europe? For all those who are hiding an inner child inside, ice karting and a visit to Santa might be the wish they forgot they had. A kiss from a husky or reindeer will complete the experience and our incentive travel specialists cannot wait to put a spin on the traditional Arctic Animal safaris widely offered.
To a Finn, balance is important, so frosty outdoors is balanced with a warm and soothing traditional sauna and a glass of Lappish craft beer whilst in the hot tube, surrounded by sparkly snow. The bravest will gather the courage to try ice swimming, dipping their body safely into the ice opening, perhaps wearing a hat with the client’s logo for long-lasting memories. Each activity you want can be customized and wrapped into storytelling relevant to your client.
Wild Nordic Finland operates in two locations in Lapland, Rovaniemi and Levi – while they are both offering the Lappish atmosphere, they also allow our incentive trade specialist to help you pick a location suited to your needs. Rovaniemi will allow your clients to combine wilderness with the closeness of city life, allowing bigger groups and several one-of-a-kind locations. On the other hand, Levi, an active ski resort, boosts smaller capacity and is aimed towards more active groups with a flair for nightlife. Both locations feature a dedicated incentive coordinator on location as well as a variety of forever improving unique services and activities.
An incentive campaign is only as effective as its ability to inspire the client to choose Lapland above all other possibilities – give us a chance to charm you with the ancient magic of Lapland, enhanced with our knowledgeable multinational team.
What separates Wild Nordic Finland from other companies are our two, main priorities: firstly, we are always thinking about how we can be more flexible and creative, combining individual activities and putting our own twist to services, making each day a smooth, rounded experience.
Secondly, with expansive experience in incentive travel, we have differentiated ourselves from others by providing most of our creative campaigns through our own production, learning that the best way to offer amazing service quality, price and flexibility are through in-house resources. For activities, where extraordinary skills are needed, we have found the most reliable and loyal local partners, which offer professional service, every time.
