Based at an intimate boutique lodge just outside Ivalo, this short winter break truly immerses you in the beauty of the far north.
Stay in cosy log-house accommodation beside a working husky farm, savour locally inspired cuisine, relax in traditional Finnish saunas, and spend a magical night beneath the Arctic sky in a glass-roofed Aurora Cabin.
Your adventure begins with a warm welcome in Lapland and a chance to settle in before setting out on a series of unforgettable winter activities.
Take charge of your own husky team on a full-day safari through pristine snow-covered wilderness, travelling across frozen landscapes and enjoying lunch around an open fire. As darkness falls, head into the wilderness in search of the Northern Lights, gathering around a crackling fire with hot drinks and traditional Lapland treats while awaiting nature’s greatest spectacle.
The adventure continues with a thrilling electric snowmobile excursion through forests and snowy fells to a secluded frozen lake, where you'll try your hand at traditional ice fishing. Enjoy time at leisure to explore the surrounding wilderness on Nordic skis or snowshoes before another evening dedicated to aurora hunting. Travel by heated sleigh through silent Arctic landscapes to a remote felltop location, where spectacular views of the night sky await.
A highlight is an overnight stay in an Aurora Cabin, offering the chance to watch for the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed through the glass ceiling while surrounded by the tranquillity of the Arctic wilderness.
With full-board dining throughout, expert local guides, authentic Arctic experiences, and outstanding Northern Lights viewing opportunities, this short break offers the perfect introduction to the wonders of Lapland.
