Nangu Aurora and Husky Experience

DAY 1 Ivalo

Fly to Ivalo (via Helsinki). Transfer to the Wilderness Nangu Hotel and enjoy dinner in the hotel restaurant.

DAY 2 Aurora Snowmobiling

After breakfast, you will have some free time to try some cross country skiing or snowshoeing. Later you will head out by snowmobile to Lake Inari in search of the northern lights, looking for the best spots to view the open night sky. Driving distance depends on the weather conditions – if the sky looks promising, you will make more stops to admire the northern lights which will hopefully make their appearance.

DAY 3 Husky Safari and Reindeer Farm

After breakfast, you will be transferred the 45km from Nangu to Nellim by car. Once you arrive, you will meet the excited huskies and  be taught how to handle the sled before heading out for a ride, with the huskies pulling your sled through the beautiful winter scenery, and travelling across frozen Lake Inari. The dogs’ excitement is infectious and as the animals fall silent on the trail, you will realise that this is the only way to see Lapland.  After lunch at the Wilderness Lodge, you will visit  the reindeer farm and get an insight into Sámi culture and  the way of life in the north.

DAY 4 UK

After breakfast and a morning at leisure, transfer to Ivalo airport and your flight back to the UK (via Helsinki).
