G-Class in the Arctic: Full Throttle on Ice
For those who appreciate both raw performance and untouched wilderness, Lapland offers something rare, a place where the two meet on equal terms. This winter, we are proud to introduce a new experience: G-Class driving on Arctic ice tracks.
Only a handful of places are available this season and must be reserved.
Key Features: Mercedes-AMG G 63*
• Engine: 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, handbuilt • Power: ~580 hp • Torque: ~850 Nm • 0–100 km/h: ~4.5 seconds • Drivetrain: Permanent all-wheel drive, 9-speed automatic • Weight: ~2,700 kg • Signature features: Three locking differentials (front, centre, rear) · Multiple drive modes including dedicated off-road settings · Adaptive suspension · Handcrafted cabin with AMG-specific instrumentation
*May vary, depending on custom builds
The stage is a purpose-built circuit of ice and snow, guided by professional instructors throughout. The Arctic environment is unforgiving, and driving at speed demands full focus and feel. These are the same conditions used by manufacturers to push their cars to the limits, deep forests, frozen lakes and open tundra.
The experience spans two full days on the track. Both driver and car will be tested without compromise.
Other Driving Experiences in the Arctic

Combine with Lappish Luxury
As the leading luxury and ultra-luxury DMC in the Nordic region, we have spent over a decade curating exceptional Lapland journeys. We bring a carefully built portfolio of fully appointed private villas, world-class experience providers, and genuine hands-on knowledge from the field.
Private Chalets & Villas
Each villa in our portfolio is fully equipped, privately staffed and chosen with one purpose: to place guests as close to the Arctic as possible. Sweeping wilderness views, front-row access to the Northern Lights, and a private host who bridges accommodation and adventure.
Boutique Hotels in the Arctic Region
Our hotels are chosen one by one. Each offers a rare harmony of design and architecture, spaces that dissolve into the Lapland forest, where frost-covered trees, frozen light and open skies become an extension of the interior itself. The nature outside is never a backdrop. It is always the main event.
Classic Arctic Activities
Some experiences exist nowhere else on earth. Reindeer safaris, snowmobile expeditions and authentic encounters with Sámi culture are the ones guests remember longest.
Above it all, the Northern Lights appear on most clear evenings, with dedicated viewing experiences arranged so that one of nature's greatest spectacles is never simply left to chance.
VIP Santa Experience
Few experiences carry the weight of a child's eyes meeting Father Christmas for the first time. Our private Santa Claus audience is crafted from beginning to end: elves, gingerbread cookies and a carefully built sense of wonder, leading to a personal meeting with Santa himself and gifts for the children. Unforgettable for the little ones. And for the adults who still believe, even a little.
