Arctic elegance with Auroras and winter scenes

This four-day trip takes you to Lapland and the comfortable Arcora Boutique Hotel near Muonio. You will stay in a stylish suite with large windows - perfect for stargazing and, with a bit of luck, spotting the Northern Lights right from your room - and will be well looked after throughout your stay. The programme includes daily guided winter activities such as snowmobile and husky tours, snowshoeing, and a reindeer safari through the snowy landscape. Full board, relaxing moments at the hotel, and the special atmosphere of the Finnish North complete the experience. If the sky is clear, there is a very good chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

Arctic elegance with Auroras and winter scenes: the itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Settling In

There, you will check into your suite and can familiarize yourself with your new surroundings at your own pace. In the evening, you will enjoy a welcome dinner featuring Arctic-inspired flavors, before the first quiet night allows for relaxation.

Day 2: Reindeer and Snowmobile Safari
After breakfast, the focus shifts to Lapland's traditions and the tranquil rhythm of the North. You will visit an authentic reindeer farm and museum and set out on a reindeer safari through the winter landscape, moving at the animals' own pace and with plenty of time to take in the scenery. Duration: 2 h; reindeer safari: 1 km.
Back at the hotel, you can look forward to lunch and afternoon tea. This is followed by a snowmobile safari, which begins with a safety briefing. In pairs on each snowmobile, you will set off on a tour through varied terrain, with stops along the way for photos and the guide's stories. Duration: 2 h; distance: 20 - 30 km. The time before dinner is yours to spend as you wish. How about a few relaxing hours in the spa area?

Day 3: Husky Tour and Snowshoeing Moments
The day begins with a leisurely breakfast before you are taken by snowmobile sled to a nearby husky farm. Once there, you will be given a short briefing to start with and then set off on a husky tour across frozen lakes and marshes and through the white winter forest (2 people/sled). Duration: 2 h; safari distance: 4 - 6 km (Dec) or 8 - 12 km (Jan - Mar). Enjoy lunch and afternoon tea at the hotel afterwards.
Later in the day, after a transfer, a snowshoe hike in the national park leads you along snow-covered trails that would be inaccessible without this special footwear (duration: 2.5 h).
Your day will be rounded off with a farewell dinner and a special nighttime experience: depending on the season, you will travel to a carefully chosen location on foot or by sled that offers not only an unobstructed view of the sky, but also undisturbed silence and privacy. On arrival, you will be greeted by a warm fire and hot drinks and light bites will be prepared for you. Make yourself comfortable and keep your eyes on the sky: if conditions are right, hopefully the beautiful Northern Lights will appear above your heads. Duration: 2 h.

Day 4: Farewell to Lapland
In the morning, you’ll enjoy breakfast one last time before a transfer takes you back to the airport. You're sure to look back fondly on your wonderful time in the far north for a long time to come.

Accommodation:
You will be staying at the brand-new Arcora Boutique Hotel, which is set to open this winter near the town of Muonio in Finnish Lapland and is part of the well-known and popular Harriniva Hotels & Safari Group. The suites and villas are built close to nature and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the sky—ideal for viewing the Northern Lights when conditions are right. All room categories are located either directly in the hotel or in separate villas on the hotel grounds. In addition to a lobby bar with a bakery and the “Restaurant 8,” a champagne bar and spa lounge await you. The latter also serves as the reception for the spa, which features a panoramic terrace, an outdoor infinity pool, a cold-dip pool, an outdoor jacuzzi, and three saunas. The hotel also has a gym.

The standard accommodation is the Junior Suite Kalle. Enjoy the unobstructed view of nature and the night sky right from your bed—on clear nights, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. For an additional fee, you can also stay in other suites and villas, some of which feature their own scenic-view sauna and outdoor jacuzzi. Please feel free to contact us if you’re interested.
