Day 2: On snowshoes through your personal winter dream
Strengthened by a delicious breakfast, today you will go on a special kind of hike with your guide. On snowshoes, the traditional way of locomotion of the Swedes, you will explore the magnificent winter wonderland. If you're lucky, you'll even spot some animal paw prints in the snow. After the hike, you will have the opportunity to relax in the sauna and outdoor hot tub. Enjoy a excellent dinner and look forward to the chance to see magical Northern Lights dancing in the sky.
Day 3: Visit of a sled dog farm and husky tour
After breakfast, you will take a bus to a nearby husky farm where you will learn all about the adorable dogs and their training program. Afterwards you will get to know the happy cuddly animals in person and feel the freedom during an approximately one-hour ride on a dog sled. You will share a sled in pairs. The total duration of this excursion is about four hours. You will strengthen yourself with dinner before heading outside again to look for the Northern Lights in the dark night sky.
Day 4: Northern Lights Photography Course for everyone
In the remote polar regions, photography is a very special challenge. Today you will learn from an expert how to best capture this environment and unique moments in pictures. After an early dinner and a short workshop on Arctic photography, in the evening you will go to the nearby village of Kukkola with a guide to take the best shots of auroras, old buildings, people and the dim village lights.
During the safari you will light a fire in a hut and get a snack with hot drinks. The hut is also a great place to warm up. If northern lights appear, a photo with you is included in the price and will be sent to you electronically.
Day 5: Day off
Today is at your free disposal and can be used for other optional program items, such as a day trip to Ranua zoo, a snowmobile expedition or relaxing in the spa and sauna. Customize this day to your liking and round it off with an outstanding dinner.
Day 6: Whitefish Grilling
Today you will grill fresh local white fish over an open fire in a Timber Smoke Hut. The village of Kukkola is famous for this! The fish is put on a stick and then grilled over an open fire. The Timber Smoke Hut, one of the oldest buildings in the cultural village of Kukkola, dates back to the 1700's. Listen to stories of the local fishing culture while the fish is grilled. Should there be no whitefish you will grill fresh salmon.
Depending on the weather, take advantage of the evening to spend time outdoors and marvel at the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights.
Day 7: Another day at leisure
After this eventful time, today you have another opportunity to organize the day according to your own ideas. You can choose from various activities listed under "Extras" or just relax. In the evening, a last dinner and a relaxing night awaits you.

Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.The service providers and tour providers always perform their services in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and requirements applicable at the time of stay. For this reason, corona-related reasonable usage rules or restrictions may arise when using said services. Please note these official requirements (Google Translate).
