Northern Lights Village in Pyhä

Fly to Rovaniemi and transfer to the Northern Lights Village Pyhä. Upon arrival, 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 Aurora cabin offers an extraordinary opportunity to witness the celestial spectacle above, as the laser-heated glass-roof unveils the northern sky directly overhead. The interior exudes rustic charm while encompassing modern amenities to enhance your stay. Tonight, nestle into the warmth and softness of your bed, cocooned in cozy linens, as you prepare for an unforgettable night under the Arctic skies.

Your Aurora cabin has: Bathroom with shower, hairdryer, tea and coffee making set, Wi-Fi, Laser-heated sky windows and an electric fireplace. There is a double/twin bed with the option to add two extra beds (29m2).

Driving a team of huskies over the white, shimmering fells is an experience that is almost mandatory during a trip to Lapland. The husky safari starts just a short drive away from the resort and takes you on a fast-paced trip over the untouched snow of the fells and surrounding forests. This is an experience that you will never forget!

Note: We have two-person sleighs and the ride is approximately 30 minutes, covering around 5 kms. Each sleigh is ridden by one of the guests. However, during early winter and when there’s little snow, seats will be available in sleigh ridden by the guide, instead.

This evening, take a seat in the cozy Aurora sleigh and get ready to be amazed! Guided by an expert, the sleigh glides through the snowy landscape, far from any light pollution. Once you reach the destination, prepare your cameras to capture stunning photos of the magical northern night sky, if they grace us with their presences. You wait for the Northern Lights to appear in comfort by the fire, enjoying hot drinks and listening to tales until someone spots the first flare.

A set of playful, unforgettable experiences for the young and the young at heart, where the enchantment of Christmas comes alive for families at the Northern Lights Village.

Join Santa's cheerful helper Elves as your guides for a day (3 hours) filled with joyous experiences that will leave lasting memories. The magic begins with a heartwarming gingerbread baking session in the elves' cosy kitchen hut. As you enjoy creating delicious cookies, the Elves will lead you to meet Santa's magnificent reindeer, followed by a short ride through the forest.

Next, it's time to embark on a quest to discover Santa's hidden cabin. If you're able to locate the cabin, you'll be warmly welcomed by Santa himself, who will invite your family for an intimate conversation and present a symbolic gift for both the children and the adults.

Parents/Guardians are expected to actively participate in order to enhance the experience for their children - For equality reasons, we’re unable to have Santa give presents purchased by parents. This is a small group tour and the meeting with Santa is approximately 10 minutes.

This morning, indulge in a relaxing one hour session in an igloo sauna which offers the perfect combination of a large sky window and the warmth of the sauna.

For children, there is a short snowmobile ride, using a child's size snowmobile with driving instructions. Thermal clothing inc. overalls, boots & gloves, 200 m track usage, fuel & Helmet included.

Please talk to us about including an adult snowmobile ride at an additional cost.

This morning, see how Laplanders used to move around before snowmobiles arrived in the northern wilderness. Riding in a reindeer sleigh through the wintry forest is an experience that seldom comes around in one’s life! The reindeer rides start from and end in the reindeer paddock in the Northern Lights Village.

After lunch, brace yourself for a few falls as you head out to learn cross country skiing! During this beginners’ course, your guide will teach you the basic techniques, after which you can head on the forest trail to witness the wintery beauty of Lapland.

Either transfer back to Rovaniemi or perhaps visit the local ski fields for some downhill skiing.

Depending on your flight time today, you might have time to visit Rovaniemi's Santa Village and post office. Please let us know if you want to consider this option.
