What you'll do

Overview

Get lost on a one-of-a-kind, 5-night getaway to the stunning corner of the winter wonderland that is Lapland, and experience an absolutely unforgettable journey for all the family.

You’ll be picked up from Kittala airport, and driven straight to your incredible accommodation for the six days, our Aurora Cabins; a 29 square meter cabin that has enough room for spending an evening together under the glass roof which provides a view of the star-filled sky and the Northern Lights.

Authentic, warming breakfast, lunch and dinners will be provided in the cosy local restaurant, where you can sit at the window and drink in the picturesque views  at every meal.

During your stay, you have the opportunity to enjoy some unforgettable experiences in awe-inspiring landscapes, including exhilarating snowmobile safaris, reindeer sleigh ride, snow shoeing adventure and a heated sleigh ride to search for the northern light. In amongst all the activity you will have time for some blissful relaxation at the Spa and of course pay a visit to Santa Clause in his magical wonderland. All activities are expertly organised, so that you can simply enjoy the expeditions and relax as we take care of the details.

At the Northern Lights Village, where your Aurora Cabin is situated, we specialise in hunting and photographing the Northern Lights and a professional photographer will help you take the best possible photos of this incredible natural phenomenon.

Please note the daily itinerary here is an example – all the activities mentioned will be included in your stay, but the days and timing may vary.

Welcome to Aurora Country

Your Northern Lights adventure begins when we pick you up directly from Kittila Airport and transfer you into the Lappish wilderness, through pristine snow encrusted pine forest and snowy fells until we reach the Northern Lights Village.

Here, you’ll be shown to your private cabin. This stylish, elegant space will provide you with your base for the experience, and offers beautifully cosy warmth against the Arctic weather outside.

And of course, the glass roof means that you’ll have unobstructed views of the spectacular night sky and the jaw-dropping Northern Lights, all from the comfort of your bed.

After a hearty dinner, it’s time for your first expedition to spot the Northern Lights. Led by locals who are experts in spotting the natural phenomenon, you’ll venture into the wilderness by heated sleigh and take in the night skies in comfort.

 

Husky Rides

After another hearty breakfast, set out on a husky ride, swishing through the silent, snow-covered forest on your own private sleigh.

Meet these beautiful, energetic dogs that will take you exploring through the glistening Lapland wilderness, on a safari you are sure never to forget.

After dinner, you’ll head out on another expedition, this time on a heated sleigh, to see if you can catch another glimpse of the stunning Aurora Borealis.

Accommodation:

Northern Lights Village

The Aurora Cabins at the Northern Lights Village are a magical way to experience the wintry star-filled sky and the Northern Lights, while lying comfortably in the warm bed. The laser-heated glass-roof opens up into the northern sky, directly above the bed.

Searching for Santa

After breakfast, it is time for a magical experience for the children (large and small ) as you go in search of Santa in his own enchanted forest.

Accommodation

Northern Lights Village

Reindeer Express and cross country skiing lesson

Sit down into the sleigh and signal the reindeer – and hold on! You’ll get to see how Laplanders used to move around before snowmobiles arrived in the northern wilderness. Driving a reindeer sleigh through the wintry forest is an experience to remember!

Next you get to try out cross country skiing – another traditional way to get around through the winter carpets – however you’re doing the rewarding work.

Farewell

Your final morning in the Northern Lights Village. Wake up at whatever leisurely time you like (check-out isn’t until 12 noon), and enjoy a final breakfast by a log fire as you reflect on the wonderful adventure you’ve had with us.

We’ll transfer you back to the airport, and look forward to maybe seeing you again!
