Aurora Northern Adventure

From the exhilaration of a husky safari to the thrill of witnessing the spellbinding northern lights, there will be a new experience every day on this fantastic tailor-made adventure week.

Experience the beauty of the far north by reindeer drawn sleigh, snowmobile and even on your own two feet as you strap on your snowshoes and head into the wilderness. Enjoy tasty lunches in cosy Finnish kota's, sip hot coffee by roaring campfires and relax each night at dinner in the comfort of Hotel Aurora before retiring to your own personal sauna or snuggling by the fire as you wait for the Aurora Alarm to rouse you for aurora viewings whenever they occur.

Day 1. Arrive Lapland
After settling into the friendly Hotel Aurora, enjoy a delicious dinner before your week of adventure begins tomorrow.

Day 4. Winter Fatbike Adventure and Evening Aurora Snowmobile
Today, you'll pick up spreed again as you hit the snowy trails on a Fatbike adventure that takes you through the beautiful landscapes that surround Luosto. Back at the hotel, enjoy time to relax and after dinner head out to seek the aurora by snowmobile.  

Day 5. Reindeers and Aurora's by Snowshoe
