What you'll do

Overview

See the very best of Lapland in the magical, snowy wonderland that is Levi, and immerse yourself in local culture on husky rides, reindeer experiences, northern lights excursions and more, all the while staying in your very own glass-roofed aurora suite - perfect for catching a glimpse of the northern lights.

You and your family will be picked up from Kittila airport, and driven straight to your incredible accommodation for the five days, our Aurora Suites; a 29 square meter elegant and cosy cabin has enough room for spending an evening together under the glass roof providing an amazing view of the star-filled sky and the Northern Lights.

Authentic, warming breakfast, lunch and dinners will be provided in a cosy local restaurant, Kota, where you can sit at the window and drink in the picturesque views over the reindeer paddock.

During your stay, you have the opportunity to enjoy some unforgettable Lapland adventure experiences in awe-inspiring landscapes, including snowmobile safaris, blissful relaxation at Levi Spa and reindeer rides to meet Santa, deep in the Finnish wilderness. 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 Suite is situated, we specialise in hunting and photographing the Northern Lights. On all Aurora Expeditions you are guided by a professional photographer, who will help you take the best possible photos of this incredible natural phenomenon.

Of course, searching for the northern lights is about being in the right place at the right time. Fortunately, you and your family will be in exactly the right place, at the right time of year, accompanied by the very best northern lights hunters in the world, maximising your chances of ticking off the ultimate bucket list moment.

A full example itinerary is detailed below, activity timings can differ slightly, your own personal schedule will be given to you upon check in.

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 suite. 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.

Relax and settle in, take a walk around with the crisp snow underfoot, take a toboggan and have some fun in the snow before your first dinner in Lapland, then relax in your cosy igloo.

In the evening, head out into the wilderness and witness the majestic Northern Lights on a snowshoe expedition, and receive a masterclass on how to capture them perfectly on your camera.

These are skills best learnt on the first night, so that you can carry them through your entire trip, ready to use when the lights are at their most spectacular.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Reindeer and Cross Country Skiing

Today you’ll throw yourself headlong into Lappish culture, starting with a reindeer ride, wrapped up in warm furs, as you glide through the quiet, snowy forest.

Then in the afternoon you’ll be able to get about as the locals have for millennia, as you enjoy a cross country skiing lesson and adventure in the stunning winter wonderland.

After dinner, you’ll head out on another expedition, this time on a snowmobile, to see if you can catch another glimpse of the stunning Northern Lights.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Accommodation:

Northern Lights Village

The Aurora Suites 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 and Huskies

After a 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.

In the afternoon, 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.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

Accommodation

Northern Lights Village

Ice Fishing and Aurora Camp

Another chance to experience some classic Lappish culture today, as you snowmobile to a frozen lake in the wilderness to try your hand at ice fishing.

Learn how to drill through the ice, and wait for a bite in the same way that the natives have been doing for generations.

Then it’s time to head back and warm up with a private sauna session, where you can relax and recharge before you jump back out into the wild for an aurora camp by the lake, where a beautiful warm tent, along with a roaring fire, have been set up as you watch the aurora borealis.

Accommodation

Northern Lights Village

Reindeer Express and cross country skiing lesson

Your final day includes something a little different, and a little further off the beaten track, than you might normally expect on a trip to Lapland.

Today, you’ll visit the village of Nellim, and outpost of real, authentic Sámi culture just 9km from the border with Russia. Learn everything there is to know about the Sámi people and see how they have mastered the harsh, cold winter environment.

Tonight you’ll get a final venture out on a heated sleigh to spot the northern lights for the final time, another magical experience to round off your time in Lapland.

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!
