Northern Lights Gems

Arrive Rovaniemi and private transfer (approx. 1.5 hours) to Pyhätunturi, located about 100 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle.

Pyhätunturi is located in the middle of Finnish Lapland and is home to this new resort. Sit back and enjoy the open fire in the lobby on your arrival or relax in your private suite with a sauna. Kids (and adults) can let off some steam and enjoy the free activities: snow bowling and sledding hill + sledges.

Dinner at the hotel's restaurant tonight. Be sure to relax in your private little sauna to warm up this evening before bed.

After breakfast, head off for a wintertime safari with husky teams and a visit to the husky farm. Before departing on the 5km dogsledding safari, you will be given instruction on how to control the sleds. Two persons share a sled and there will be an opportunity to change drivers. Enjoy some hot berry juice by an open fire and chat with the head musher about these amazing northern animals once you return to the ranch.
Lunch and dinner will be at the Hotel's restaurant.

Get ready for the ultimate challenge of ice climbing in the wilderness. Test your limits with a guided morning of climbing. Afterwards, reward yourself with a pamper session - head to a private lake sauna experience and drop hot tub.

This morning, sit back and enjoy the ride through stunning white scenery. This transfer to Inari will take approximately 3 hours, depending on the weather.

Upon arrival at Aurora Village, you will receive your program schedule before dinner. Depending on your arrival time, cold weather gear is given to you either upon arrival or the next day.

Your glass igloo hosts here were the first accommodation in Northern Lapland to receive the Green Key award, the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. This prestigious eco-label represents a commitment by businesses that their premises adhere to the strict criteria set by the Foundation for Environmental Education. Some examples of how they carry this out include offering recycling facilities in all cabins and no longer offering plastic bottles in accommodations, along with protecting the diversity of the surrounding nature, i.e., bird house and insect hotels. Hiking, biking, and skiing tracks are direct from the hotel and as such they encourage low carbon activities such as snowshoeing and toboggans.

Breakfast at the restaurant. Today, you will get to try snowmobiling! Drive through the arctic winter forests while admiring the beauty of the Lappish nature. Your guide leads the way on this exciting snowmobile safari. Keep your camera with you! There are a couple of stops for taking amazing photos and chatting with your guide about life in Lapland.

IMPORTANT: All drivers without exception must have a valid full drivers license and be aged 18 or more.

In the evening, join an exciting Northern lights search by car. After some research on the weather forecast, with a professional Aurora Hunter, you will drive it to places where the sky is most clear and the probability of seeing the Northern Lights is highest.

Experience magical moments with Lapland’s most iconic animal. Today you will have the chance to meet friendly reindeer up close! You’ll be given a bag of lichen – their absolute favourite treat – and with a bit of patience, these gentle creatures will come right up to you and eat straight from your hand. It’s a perfect moment for unforgettable photos.

After breakfast, shuttle transfer back to Ivalo Airport.
