Arctic Explorer at Nellim

In an idyllic setting on the edge of the Urho-Kekkonen National Park, Wilderness Hotel Muotka is surrounded by snow covered forests offering a unique escape for those seeking solitude yet still wanting adventure.  Everything is taken care of from the moment you land - seamless airport transfers, cosy accommodations, and delicious Lappish cuisine ensure a stress-free and unforgettable holiday, and you’ll adventure through Lapland like never before, with an itinerary packed with unforgettable experiences.

Snowmobiling is one of the most exhilarating ways to explore the vast wilderness that surrounds Wilderness Hotel Muotka and this holiday includes not just one but two incredible snowmobile safaris.  The first takes you deep into the snowy landscapes complete with a trailside wilderness lunch. The second brings you up close and personal with the local reindeer. You’ll visit a local farm, meet the reindeer, and gain insight into the culture and history of Sámi reindeer farming. 

Then swap horsepower for paw power on a thrilling husky safari. Mush your own team of dogs with a partner as you glide through pristine forests and across frozen lakes, a true highlight of the week and an experience you’ll never forget.

Step back in time with the age-old travelling traditions of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing; be sure to keep an eye out for animal tracks in the fresh powder snow and maybe spot some local wildlife along the way. 

The magic doesn’t end when the sun sets (although in the height of winter it sets quite early!) as your stay includes 3 Northern Lights excursions, maximizing your chances of a tick on the bucket list. Glide through the night on on a snowmobile-pulled sleigh to a remote Aurora camp, take a moonlit snowshoe walk under the stars, and join an Aurora hunt by car, perfect for chasing clearer skies if conditions change.

Arctic thills meet unforgettable moments at Wilderness Hotel Muotka - so let the magic begin… your Arctic adventure starts here!
