Day 2: Reindeer Experience and Snowmobiles
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: Lapland Relax and Northern Lights
Today, the focus is on relaxation. Take your time over breakfast and spend the morning doing exactly as you please. In the afternoon, you can look forward to some blissful moments at the spa: enjoy a 60 minute private sauna session, a 60 minute restorative massage and an 8-course Signature Dinner.
Your day will be rounded off with 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: Huskies and Snowshoe Hike
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). Finally, at the farewell dinner in the hotel's restaurant, you can look back once more on the best moments of your trip.

Day 5: Farewell and Journey Home
After breakfast 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.

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.
