Hot Tub and dinner at the lodge

What would be a great way to enjoy one of nature’s most impressive wonders – the Northern Lights?

Well, in an outdoor hot tub on a rooftop with a 360° view over the night sky!

This evening is all about relaxing and enjoying the local cuisine. You’ll be served a set 3-course dinner.

When the night is over, we can guarantee you will feel relaxed and get a good night’s sleep.

Views over Lapland by snowmobile and pick up the Christmas tree from the forest.

Experience an entire day of thrilling and expertly-guided snowmobile safaris through the stunning Lapland landscapes.

On snowmobiles, we ascend beyond the treeline to reach the pinnacle of Lapland’s viewpoint. Here, we immerse ourselves in a bit of tradition by trying our hand at ice fishing. We’ll even brew some coffee over a crackling fire and indulge in Swedish Fika, making the most of this magical moment.

Our journey continues down to the serene taiga forest, where we pick the perfect Christmas tree. Once the tree is selected and loaded onto the sled, we savor a cup of glögg (Swedish mulled wine) and pepparkaka (ginger cookies) before our return to the lodge. There, we’ll treat you to a 2-course lunch prepared with love from the local kitchen.

Northern lights safari

As evening approaches, your guide carefully monitors weather conditions and aurora forecasts to select the best possible viewing location for the night. After dinner, we head out to the area most likely to offer clear views of the Northern Lights.

Depending on the conditions, we travel by minibus to optimal viewing spots, ride snowmobiles up to higher mountain terrain in search of clearer skies, or—if the best conditions are found in the forest—set off on a guided snowshoe walk through the peaceful woodland. This flexible approach allows us to adapt each evening’s adventure to nature itself, maximising your chances of witnessing the magical Aurora Borealis dancing across the Arctic sky.

After breakfast

After breakfast, we gather to decorate the Christmas tree at the lodge. Once the tree is adorned, Santa and his reindeer await us in the traditional Sami tent (kåta), where he distributes gifts to everyone who has been nice. We also indulge in some delicious traditional Sami cuisine next to the crackling fire. After the lunch we visit the original ICEHOTEL.
