Experience the magic of summer in Finnish Lapland, where endless daylight, pristine wilderness and warm Finnish hospitality create the perfect setting for an unforgettable Arctic adventure.
This summer adventure begins in the vibrant seaside capital of Helsinki, where contemporary Nordic design, waterfront promenades and lively market squares offer the perfect introduction to Finland.
From here, continue north to Iisakki Village, near Ruka, staying in a Glass Villa close to the shores of Lake Rukajärvi. Here, summer days are filled with iconic Arctic activities, from a guided midnight Sun hike on Valtavaara Hill to rafting the rapids of the Kitkajoki River. Embrace Finland’s deep-rooted sauna traditions with an authentic lakeside sauna experience, and enjoy free time to paddle, hike or simply unwind in nature.
A highlight of your stay is an unforgettable evening of bear watching near the eastern border, offering the rare opportunity to observe brown bears and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
Midway through the journey, transfer south to the hilltop retreat of Iso Syöte. Surrounded by the pristine landscapes of Syöte National Park, your days here combine gentle adventure and indulgent relaxation. Glide across Lake Naamanka on a guided canoe trip, explore scenic hiking and biking trails independently, and unwind in the Arctic Spa. Evenings are spent enjoying Arctic flavours, panoramic views and the serenity of the northern night skies from your exclusive Bear Cave Suite.
Designed to offer the perfect balance of adventure, wildlife encounters and relaxation, this journey allows guests to experience the magic of Finnish Lapland under the glow of the midnight sun. The contrast in accommodation enhances the experience - from a light-filled glass villa immersed in nature to the atmospheric seclusion of the Bear Cave Suite, creating a seamless blend of openness and cosy retreat.
