Frozen Fairytale | Romance Under The Aurora

On arrival in Finnish Lapland, you will be whisked away into the snow-drenched landscape to spend the following six nights at the spectacular Wilderness Hotel Nangu. Check into your glass-roof Aurora cabin for the first two nights and drift off to sleep under the stars, safe in the knowledge that the resort's Aurora Alarm service will wake you should the northern lights appear.

Explore the Lappish wilderness the way the locals, and now also the Sami people do, by snowmobile. Snowmobiling in Lapland is an exhilarating experience that takes you deep into the heart of the untouched wilderness, offering a unique and thrilling way to explore the snow-drenched landscape. After a short lesson and thorough safety briefing, you will feel confident and ready to conquer the snowy terrain. You'll pause for a well-deserved break, gathering around a crackling open fire to enjoy a delicious camp lunch.

Be prepared for delightful encounters with both reindeer and huskies, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Your knowledgeable guide will weave tales of Sámi traditions and unveil the intricate rhythms of a reindeer's life throughout the seasons. You'll even have the chance to feed these curious animals. Next, embark on an exhilarating husky safari. You will soon find out that sled dogs are astonishingly keen. After expert instruction on sledding techniques, you'll be whisked away on a thrilling ride through breathtaking winter landscapes, including the frozen splendor of Lake Inari. 

Learn how to fish through the ice on frozen Lake Inari. Your guide will teach you how to drill a hole through the ice and prepare your fishing gear. This is a favourite pastime of locals and a great way to catch your lunch. Later, embark on a snowmobile expedition to Lake Inari, where the hunt for the northern lights begins. Gaze up at the vast, open night sky that may transform into a celestial theatre. If luck is on your side, you'll witness the ethereal glow of the Aurora Borealis, with their vibrant hues of green, purple, and pink, illuminating the landscape below.

Explore the varied terrain on foot - from the frozen surface of Lake Inari to the forest and hills rising from the shoreline. This is the ancient way - and still the most efficient - of exploring on foot in deep snow, without sinking up to your hips! Learn about the nature and wildlife of Finnish Lapland and enjoy lunch and hot drinks around an open fire. The forest is a beautiful winter wonderland, and the silence is like anywhere else. During the trek, your guide will share interesting stories and information about Finnish nature and animals.

Cross-country skiing is by far the most popular and traditional means of getting out into nature to 'hike' during the winter. You will be taught how to use your walking skis and enjoy a round trip in the surrounding landscape. After dark, search for Mother Nature's most famous light show. Journey to a remote area far from any light pollution, ensuring the best possible view of the night sky. As you glide through the serene, snow-covered landscape, the anticipation of witnessing the northern lights builds.
