Programme
Three-night Arctic Adventure Escape at Saariselkä Villas.
Day 1. Arrival Day
Arrival to Ivalo Airport and private transfer to Saariselkä Villas. Upon arrival you'll receive welcome info from our staff member and a welcome basket.
Days 1.-3. Winter Activities
Snowmobile Safari (private)
This tour is perfect for those who have never tried snowmobiling before. First you will get familiar with the snowmobile, have full safety instructions and a driving lesson. After everyone feels comfortable, we will head out for a small journey into the nearby surroundings through the beautiful taiga forest.
Husky Safari
An absolute ‘must do’ when visiting Lapland! The dogs’ excitement is infectious and as the animals fall silent on the trail, you will realize that this is the only way to see Lapland. All our husky safaris include full instructions and are based on two people sharing a sled unless otherwise stated.
Aurora Camp (private)
This activity takes you to the amazing surroundings of Saariselkä. You will be comfortably seated in a sledge that is pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. This way you can enjoy the northern sky all the way to the camp site. At the camp there is an open fire to warm us up on a cold night of Aurora hunting. Your guide will also serve warm drinks to keep you heated and cozy. The camp has a minimum amount of light pollution, so it is perfect for viewing the Northern Lights that will hopefully show up in the sky.
Day 4. Departure Day
After breakfast you'll have a private transfer to Ivalo Airport. It’s time to say goodbye to Saariselkä and head towards new adventures.
