*based on Two People in a Treehouse Suite in March 2023

Escape from the ordinary to take in the authentic beauty of the blanketed snow-white Lappish forest. Nestled deep in a secret woodland world, bring your Christmas fairy tale to life with this experience of a lifetime!

The magic begins as you arrive in the white wonderland of the arctic circle.

You will be met at Rovaniemi airport and taken to your luxury treehouse suite to begin your amazing arctic adventure.

Throughout your stay you will have the opportunity to see the inky black dark sky from the comfort of your room, and hopefully catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights bursting across the night-sky, brushing the deep fir forests.

Your accommodation has an enchanting ambience and breathtaking views from the floor to ceiling panoramic windows. Decorated in pristine white with luxurious throws and cushions you will enjoy relaxing in this cosy haven.

By day you can enjoy the fresh country air and crisp snow under foot as you meet reindeer and huskies and discover the beautiful landscapes from right outside your door.

You’ll also get to explore the area by getting a little further afield on a snowmobile, drinking in the incredible scenery.

Gliding through the impossibly still forest and the crisp, clear arctic air is a hugely liberating feeling, and you’ll traverse the most beautiful natural landscapes. Satisfyingly wearied from a day of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

You will go out on a guided snowshoeing adventure and of course search for the Northern Lights with an expert Aurora hunter. You’ll spend your evenings settling down to delicious food prepared with local ingredients served by a warming log fire in the stylish restaurant, or go further afield to try one of the many restaurants in Rovaniemi.

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

Please enquire about availability and prices between 1 December – 6 January 2023/2024.

Visit Santa Claus and See the Northern Lights!

This morning after breakfast at your hotel you could enjoy a short walk to Santa Claus Village and visit Santa Clause’s post office, browse the numerous shops or stop for a drink and local snack at one of the cafes or restaurants, enjoying the Christmas atmosphere.

Get ready to tick the Northern Lights Wilderness Tour off your bucket list as you prepare to spend a magical evening exploring and seeking the magical Aurora Borealis.

You’ll be collected from your hotel, and put on the warm outerwear and boots before joining a small group and a professional guide to search through the wilderness on your evening hunt for the Aurora Boreali. You’ll have the opportunity to drive through the Lapland wilderness and explore the arctic nature. During stops you may take a short walk through the very old, white and snowy forest or to the top of fells, you may cross a wooden bridge over powerful rapids, or enjoy the silence on a lake beach and tranquility of a landscape of ice and snow… Hopefully, with Auroras dancing over your heads!

This experience is almost always done in the complete dark and you see the scenery in a completely new and beautiful way. You will get the opportunity to build a fire, outdoors, next to a log hut or in a teepee. Your guide will teach you how to light a fire in the traditional way, using silver birch bark and flint. While waiting for the first greenish arches to appear above your head, as the kettle starts to boil, your guide will share with you their knowledge and passion about the forest and its wildlife, and the northern lights. You will have a hot beverage to warm you up, grill your own sausages over the open fire and enjoy it with the famous Finnish mustard.

We can’t guarantee that you will see them due to weather conditions, but your local guide is expert at searching for the best possible place to see them, help you to take the best photos, and will also take photos themselves with a professional camera, and share them with you.

You’ll return to your wonderful cosy suite around 11pm.

Husky Safari, Snowmobile and Finnish Sauna

After a buffet breakfast at your accommodation, you will be picked up for your husky safari. First of all you will be given warm clothing (recommended as it can be very cold during the safari), and then your guide will drive you to a lovely local husky farm, around 30 minutes drive from Rovaniemi set amidst the magical snowy forests.

At the farm, you will be welcomed by the mushers and the excited barking of their lovely dogs. You will be introduced to your dog team and will be given the safety instructions and some tips how to drive the sleigh. Once ready, you will embark on your husky sled ride , two people per sleigh, dashing through the winter scenery for about 45 mins. You are always 2 adults maximum for the sleigh ride (one driving, and one passenger sitting in the sleigh) and you will have the opportunity to switch the driver and passenger halfway if you wish.

After the safari, the mushers will take time to share with you an insight into their life style, explain about the job of a musher, how they train their dogs and answer all your questions around an open fire. All the dogs are photo enthusiasts, so do not forget to bring your camera with you!

Your next adventure will be exploring the area on an adventurous ride over the snow and ice on a snowmobile. You can go at your own pace and enjoy the views through the forest, or out on a frozen lake. You’ll have a stop to warm up with berry juice and traditional biscuits before you set off again gliding over the crisp white snow. This is the very best way to get deep into the Lapland wilderness, and truly off the beaten track as you head away from the village and out into the vast fells, quiet woodlands and frozen lakes.

Return to the hotel to relax after an amazing day of new experiences.
