Location

This charming, family-run resort is located on the banks of the Muonio River at the Finnish–Swedish border, surrounded by untouched Arctic wilderness. With almost zero light pollution, it’s one of the finest areas in Lapland for Northern Lights sightings. The transfer from Kittilä Airport takes around one hour — close enough for convenience, yet remote enough to feel worlds away.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival in Lapland
Arrive at Kittilä Airport and transfer to your Arctic resort. After check-in, you'll either be fitted with your winter clothing today or tomorrow morning, depending on arrival time. Dinner is served in the cosy restaurant, giving you your first taste of hearty Nordic cuisine. Tonight is all about unwinding, embracing the snowy surroundings and settling in for your magical stay.

Day 2 – Husky Safari & Reindeer Experience
Husky Safari
Enjoy a 1.5-hour husky experience through snowy forests. Your family has its own sledge, driven by professional handlers, allowing you to sit back and soak in the peaceful Arctic scenery.

Reindeer Experience
Meet a traditional reindeer herder, learn about Sámi culture, practice the suopunki lasso and take a gentle sleigh ride through the forest — a serene, timeless Lapland highlight.

Day 3 – Snowmobiling Adventure & Free Time
Snowmobiling
After safety instructions, zoom across frozen lakes and through snow-laden forests on a guided snowmobile safari — exciting, scenic and unforgettable.

Free Time in the Snow
Spend the afternoon enjoying complimentary activities: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing or trying a traditional Finnish kick sled. This is your time to explore and play at your own pace.

Day 4 – Santa Visit & Aurora Experience
Private Santa Meeting
A magical moment for families — meet Santa privately in his Lapland cabin. While you wait, enjoy snowfun activities including mini skidoos, snow football, cross-country skiing and more.

Guided Aurora Experience
In the evening, venture into the Arctic night on a guided Northern Lights hunt. With near-zero light pollution, your chances of witnessing the auroras are excellent — but even without them, the star-filled silence is enchanting.

Day 5 – Farewell Lapland
Enjoy breakfast and some final moments in the snow before lunch and your transfer back to Kittilä Airport. A suitcase full of memories travels home with you — huskies, reindeer, snowmobiles, Northern Lights… and, of course, Santa.
