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 a tipi (3-4 people/sled; total duration: approx. 3 h).
After the dog sledding you continue 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 driving up to the summit of Mt. Ednamvarri with snowmobiles (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 (total duration: approx. 4-5 h).

Day 3: View over Lapland by snowmobile
After breakfast, enjoy a 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 past the tree line to a unique viewpoint that offers 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 a Swedish fika. Here you also have the opportunity to try your hand at traditional ice fishing (total duration: approx. 5 h).
Back at the lodge, you can eat 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: Your guide will carefully check the weather and Northern Lights forecasts and select the best spots for viewing them, which you will head to together after dinner. Depending on the conditions, you will travel by minibus, drive to higher mountain areas on snowmobiles, or put on your snowshoes for a walk. With a bit of luck and clear skies, you’ll be treated to one last glimpse of the Northern Lights before heading home tomorrow.

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.
