Fascinating Lapland: the itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
You will be welcomed at the airport or train station in Kiruna and then drive directly to the cozy lodge, which will be your starting point for the winter adventures of the next few days. Move into your cozy room and get settled in unhurriedly before meeting the team on site and receiving your arctic outerwear. In the evening, a 3-course menu awaits you and you can relax in the outdoor whirlpool. With a bit of luck, the fascinating Northern Lights will dance above you.

Day 2: On a dog sled through Lapland
Look forward to your breakfast with a magnificent view of the snow-covered mountains all around. Afterwards, let yourself be driven through this beautiful landscape on a dog sled. The guide will steer the sled and you as a passenger can enjoy the view of the wilderness around you. Take a short break on the way and enjoy a Swedish "fika" by the crackling fire in the tipi.
The tour then continues through the forest to an artistically crafted ice hotel. There you can enjoy a classic Swedish buffet and marvel at the spectacular individual art suites designed by leading artists from all over the world. Afterwards, how about a cocktail in the unique ice glasses at the ice bar?
The day ends with another highlight: You will be served dinner in a tipi next to the lodge before taking a snowmobile ride up to the summit of Mt. Ednamvarri (2 persons per snowmobile, you can take turns driving), from where you will have a magnificent 360-degree view over the mountain range, far away from any light pollution. Keep your eyes open for the Northern Lights! Your guide will bring a camera and take photos throughout the evening as a wonderful souvenir of your time in the far north.

Day 3: View over Lapland by snowmobile
After breakfast, enjoy a unique snowmobile safari where you share a snowmobile in pairs and take turns driving. This half-day tour through Lapland takes you to the edge of the Arctic tundra and above the tree line to unique viewpoints that offer fantastic views over the untouched Arctic wilderness. You take a short break on a frozen lake, where you make coffee over a crackling fire and enjoy Swedish fika. Here you also have the opportunity to try your hand at traditional ice fishing.
Back at the lodge, you can relax over lunch before spending the rest of the day at leisure. Relax with a book and a hot drink in the cozy lounge, visit the sauna or take snowshoes or cross-country skis (free of charge) to explore the area a little more on your own.
There is one last item on the agenda for tonight: a crackling fire awaits you in the tipi next to the lodge. Your dinner will be grilled there before you set off in a minivan for the Abisko National Park in search of the Northern Lights. You drive along the quiet roads of Lapland to the best viewpoints all around. Perhaps you will be lucky enough to experience this magical natural spectacle up close!

Day 4: Departure
After a final breakfast, it's time to say goodbye and you will be taken back to the airport or train station in Kiruna. There you will start your journey home, hopefully with many memories of the incomparable experiences of the last few days and a few enchanting Northern Lights photos in your luggage.
