More commonly known as the home of Santa Claus and for its landscapes reminiscent of the magical world of Narnia, Lapland in Finland is inviting tourists to swap reindeer rides for a summer-long hunt for hidden gold.
Participants will explore the trails and landmarks of Levi, a resort in northern Finland known for winter ski slopes and views of the Northern Lights. Fortune hunters will be in search of a gold bar worth 20,000 euros (NZ$39,208).
The Midnight Sun Hunt would begin on 18 June at the Levi Visitor Centre, Visit Levi said.
Participants can collect their first clue and register for the hunt at the centre. After, further clues will be shared, leading hikers through local trails, attractions and landmarks, each bringing them closer to the hidden prize.
