What you'll do

Overview

Embark on an unforgettable wilderness adventure in Rovaniemi, a winter wonderland in Lapland. Over the course of three nights, you'll have the opportunity to explore the frozen forest on thrilling husky safaris, interact with gentle reindeer, and witness the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Northern Lights.

Commence your adventure with a private transfer from Rovaniemi Airport, swiftly whisking you away to your charming lodging for your entire stay. Nestled within the tranquil forest, the Panorama Huts boast expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that offer breathtaking views of the snow-clad woodlands and the starry night sky above.

Immerse yourself in a three-night journey, where your days are filled with exhilarating snowmobiling escapades across the expansive wilderness. By nightfall, savor the serenity of your forest-view accommodation and witness the enchanting Northern Lights gracefully dancing above.

Partake in genuine Lappish experiences as you embark on thrilling husky safaris through the forest and  on a reindeer ride through the otherworldly night of Arctic Lapland, providing insight into the lives of these animals that have been integral to the local community for centuries.

*Based on total cost, per couple based on travel in late March in a Panorama Hut.

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

Arrival Day

Your adventure begins when your private transfer meets you at Rovaniemi Airport to take you directly to your Lapland accommodation. Arrive at your accommodation, unpack and settle in to your surroundings.

Depending on how early you arrive, take some time to explore the site and the snowy forest, or simply relax and refresh after your journey before your evening meal at the site restaurant.

 

Husky Safari and Night Time Reindeer Ride

On your first full day in the arctic wilderness, wake up to views of the still, snow-covered forest and fuel yourself up for your first adventure with a hearty breakfast at the restaurant.

Then, meet your guide for an unforgettable journey through this beautiful landscape of frozen rivers and vast fells behind a team of endlessly energetic huskies.

The locals in this region have been using dog sleds as a means of transport for millennia, so not only is this an opportunity to meet some incredibly cute huskies and explore the area, but it also gives you a taste of some authentic Lappish culture.

In the evening, head out into the pristine countryside on reindeer-drawn sleigh, as you glide through a forest illuminated by the glow of the moon, stars and, with any luck, the Northern Lights.

 

Snowmobile Adventure and Aurora Hunting

Today, enjoy the thrill of speeding across snow covered fells and crashing through snow drifts as you follow your expert guide off the beaten track and into the heart of aurora country.

After a few breaks for a hot drink and for a chance to snap some pictures, head back to the resort for a final afternoon of relaxation as you settle into a private sauna experience. If you spend any amount of time in Finland, you will also find this beautiful way to unwind is also an essential part of any Finnish person’s life.

In the evening, set off into the wilderness on an aurora hunting photo tour with an expert guide who will give you the very best chance of spotting the Northern Lights and capturing them effectively.

Departure Day

Wake up on your final morning to views of the snowy forest, then enjoy a final breakfast before checking out of your accommodation.

We hope that you have had an unforgettable few days with us in Lapland, and leave with precious memories of this once-in-a-lifetime destination.

Location

Your accommodation is located deep in the quiet wilderness of the Lapland region, 20km from Rovaniemi.

The transfer time from Rovaniemi is under half an hour drive.

Far north of the Arctic Circle, the area you’ll be staying in is a vast expanse of pristine pine forest that is home to bears, golden eagles, wolverines, and thousands of reindeer.

The restaurant, saunas, reindeer and husky areas are all right in the resort, along with cosy cabins with electric fires and panorama glass windows. The cabins are lined by uninhabited fells and forests.

FAQs

When can I go?

Trips run all through the winter season from 16th Nov to late March.

How far is the accommodation from the airport?

Your package includes return, private transfers from Rovaniemi Airport which is 20min from the resort.

Why is the Husky ride only 5km until 7th Jan then 10km onwards?

As the resort is based near a lake and River the extended circuit isn't completely frozen and safe to use until early January. A reduced coast for this activity is factored into the total price.

When does the complimentary shuttle run to Santa's Village?

The shuttle bus service is only arranged when booked in advance. If you wish to use the shuttle bus service, please book your shuttle transfer at least one day before by 18:00. Unfortunately, they cannot guarantee a transfer without a prebooking.
