Itinerary

Day 1 | Arrive in Helsinki

Fly to Helsinki. On arrival, take a private transfer to the effortlessly stylish Lilla Roberts Hotel in the city and dine at the wonderful Krog Roba Restaurant (the city’s former police station). Nestled in the heart of the design district, why not take a stroll through the snow-dusted city before heading to bed in the evening?

Take a private transfer back to Helsinki Airport and fly to Finnish Lapland. On arrival, transfer to Aurora Village. Buried in a magnificent winter wonderland, settle in and explore your new surroundings. Dine in the restaurant in the evening. Later, hop inside a covered and heated Aurora sleigh and relax as your guide takes you to a spot where the northern lights may be swirling overhead.

Day 3 | Reindeer Feeding & Snowmobile Safari

After breakfast, you’ll be given a bag of lichen and the friendly resident reindeer will come up close to feed out of your hand. After, enjoy a short reindeer sleigh ride through the snow-cloaked topography. Once breakfast is over for you and the reindeer, embark on a snowmobile safari into the Lappish wilderness. Return to Aurora Village to relax and dine in the evening.

Day 4 | Dog Sledding & Sauna Relaxation

Today, head out into the wilderness on a sleigh pulled by energetic huskies! Ride in pairs with one person sitting in the sleigh and the other mushing. Enjoy lunch in the wilderness and learn about huskies from your guide, a professional musher. Later swap places, so both get to try mushing hands-on. The sauna and Jacuzzi will be ready for your private use upon your return before dinner in evening.
