Have you ever been in a place this quiet before?

 

Sauna Carriage, duration 1.5hrs

Just as you thought the love the Finns have for saunas couldn't get any more mesmerizing, this little sauna on wheels appears to brighten your day! A traditional Finnish sauna waiting for you on your doorstep? As you book this sauna, you're soon about to witness how a peculiar, cute little sauna slides it's way to the front of your doorstep.

Day 6-7 Apukka

After breakfast you can enjoy following escapades:

Aurora Hunt on the Snow Train, duration 3hrs

Take a ride through the winter wonderland in a warm carriage of our famous Snowtrain! We head out in the wilderness, far from artificial lights, looking for the Northern Lights. We cross the beautiful snowy landscape to reach a traditional, Lappish “kota”; a hut deep in the wilderness. We gather around the blazing bonfire, to enjoy light snacks and hot drinks. Our aurora expert will help you with camera settings to best capture the Northern Lights. This excursion is completely focused on the Northern Lights, but you also get to experience the beauty of the pure, snowy forest, darkness, quietness. As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, nobody can give a 100% guarantee to see them, but this trip presents an excellent chance!

Snowshoe Walk to the Arctic Nature, duration 2hrs
Do you want to feel, see and breath the unspoiled nature and its fresh air? This trip is for you! Snowshoes allow you to enter the stunning silence and beauty of the snow-covered surroundings. Your guide will tell you stories and facts about flora and fauna of the Arctic nature. You will also hear about the old way of living and learn about the traditional way of using ingredients found from the nature. The slow pace allows you to notice little details and take great photos. During the trip your guide will serve on hot drink.
