After arriving in Ivalo, transfer to the peaceful woodland setting of Laanila, just outside Saariselkä. Here, a warm welcome awaits before you settle into your cosy cabin for a four-night full-board stay. Nestled among pristine Arctic wilderness, the North Frontier Cabins offer an inviting retreat with direct access to scenic trails and snowy landscapes, while the nearby Kuksa Restaurant provides hearty, home-style dining in a relaxed atmosphere.
Your stay blends guided adventures with time to unwind. Experience the magic of Lapland on a husky sledding safari, gliding through silent forests and over snow-covered fells, and feel the thrill of a snowmobile ride across vast Arctic terrain. A guided evening snowshoe walk offers a slower pace, leading you into the stillness of the forest beneath moonlight, with the chance to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights dancing overhead.
There is also ample opportunity to explore at your own pace. Discover nearby Saariselkä’s ski slopes, take an exhilarating ride on the longest toboggan run in Finland, or opt for additional experiences such as reindeer encounters, ice fishing, or fat biking through the wilderness. Between adventures, return to the comfort of your cabin, relax in your private sauna, and savour delicious meals.
This winter escape offers the perfect balance of comfort, authenticity, and unforgettable Arctic nature, creating lasting memories in one of the world’s most enchanting winter destinations.
