Day 2: Snowmobiles and Huskies in a Wintry Landscape
After breakfast, the itinerary includes both a snowmobile and a husky safari, accompanied by guides who will provide instruction and the necessary equipment. Across varied terrain ranging from open fells to frozen lakes, there will be time for short stops, photos, and stories. Back at the hotel, you’ll warm up in a peaceful atmosphere; a late lunch and dinner will round out the day.

Day 3: Snowshoe Hike and Mindfulness
This day is intentionally designed to be more relaxed and offers space for quiet reflection. During the snowshoe hike, you’ll move at a leisurely pace through snow-covered landscapes, guided by an expert and equipped with specialized gear. Later in the day, there will be a one-hour session with the guide that combines nature, tranquility, and Arctic beauty, focusing on mindfulness rather than speed. Here, you can truly connect with yourself and your surroundings.

Day 4: Reindeer Experience and Lapland Relax
The morning begins gently before you visit a reindeer farm together, where you’ll gain a deeper insight into the daily life and history of the place. Your visit is complemented by a reindeer safari at the animals’ own pace. Back at the hotel, you can look forward to a relaxing time at the spa: enjoy saunas and swimming, as well as a hydrating face mask and massage. A day that demands little of you but gives you so much in return.

Day 5: Farewell and Journey Home
After breakfast, your return journey will slowly but surely draw nearer. Before departure, you can eat a light lunch in the afternoon. After that, the transfer to the airport takes place. The white landscapes of Lapland are sure to remain in your heart for a long time to come.

Accommodation:
You’ll 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 in harmony with 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 area 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 unobstructed views of nature and the night sky right from your bed—on clear nights, you might 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.
