Arrival to Ivalo Airport and transfer by bus to Wilderness Hotel Saariselkä. Upon arrival you'll settle into your accommodation and enjoy a welcoming dinner.
Days 2.-4. Winter Activities
Husky Safari
A husky safari is a must-do experience when visiting Saariselkä! Before setting off, you'll receive full instruction on handling the sled, then embark on an unforgettable journey as the eager huskies pull you through stunning winter landscapes. Their excitement is contagious, and as they settle into silence on the trail, you'll discover why this is truly the best way to explore Lapland.
Reindeer Sleigh Ride
Reindeer sleigh driving is a traditional Sámi experience, offering you a rare chance to immerse yourself in the authentic spirit of Lapland. Led by a professional guide, you'll enjoy a peaceful ride through the wilderness, sitting comfortably in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. As you glide through snow-covered trees and magical scenery, you’ll experience the serene silence of nature alongside these gentle, furry companions.
During the journey, you'll also learn about the unique lifestyle of reindeer and the important role they play in the far north, gaining insight into the traditions of the Sámi people.
Snowshoeing to Prospector gold mine
Embark on a snowshoeing trip to the historic Prospector gold mine, combining gentle winter exercise with the quiet beauty and rich history of Finnish Lapland. Along the way, our guide will share fascinating stories about the wildlife, local nature, and lesser-known history, bringing the snowy landscape to life with insights into this remarkable area.
We will have a break during the trip and serve hot drinks and a small sweet snack.
Snowmobile Adventure
Explore the stunning fells around Saariselkä on a longer snowmobiling tour, taking in scenic views and recharge and warm up during a delicious lunch that will be served during the day. Snowmobiling through white winter scenery is a breath-taking experience that will last for a lifetime.
Aurora Camp
This trip takes you to one of our carefully selected camp spots, where we’ll try to catch a glimpse of the mesmerizing northern lights. You’ll be comfortably seated in a sledge, pulled by a guide’s snowmobile, as we journey through the serene winter landscape. Once we arrive, we’ll gather around an open fire, enjoying warm drinks while waiting for the sky to reveal its magical display.
Aurora Hunt by Car
Aurora Hunt by Car is one of our popular Aurora gazing activities. We’ll set out to chase the northern lights by car, heading to a specific location with hopefully clear skies for the best chance to witness this spectacular phenomenon. If the weather isn't ideal, we’ll travel further to find clearer skies. Along the way, the guide will serve warm drinks and snacks, making it a cozy and memorable adventure in search of the magical Auroras.
Day 5. Departure Day
After breakfast you're transferred to Ivalo airport. It's time to say goodbye to Wilderness Hotel Saariselkä and head towards new adventures.
