About

Staying at a lodge high up in the aurora zone, away from artificial light and tucked deep in the Arctic wilderness, you'll spend three nights on the hunt for the Northern Lights in Nellim, one of the best spots in which to see the aurora. And, you'll get to partake in classic winter activities including husky sledding, snowmobiling and snowshoeing in the company of expert guides.

Day 3
Snowmobiling

One of the most exciting ways to experience the wilds of Finnish Lapland is by snowmobile. After a lesson from your instructor you'll head out into the snow-laden landscapes surrounding the hotel. Enjoy the day in the pristine wilderness, while the evening brings a final chance to experience the Lappish night and see the Northern Lights from a secluded Aurora camp.
