Day 3: First snowmobile ride
After breakfast, you will get a helmet and the guide will give you a briefing on snowmobiling techniques. Then it's time to set off on an approximately 30 km test drive through the beautiful countryside with your own snowmobile (1 person / snowmobile). After that you can relax during the afternoon and look forward to a nice dinner at the lodge in the evening and maybe even seeing the Northern Lights afterwards with a little luck.

Day 4 & 5: Snowmobile tour with overnight stay in the wilderness
Today you embark on a 2-day safari that takes you through the breathtaking winter landscape of Finnish Lapland. The distance is about 80-120 km per day. You will spend the night in a cozy wilderness cabin. Breakfast and dinner are served in the cabin and lunch is served around the campfire en route. Keep your eyes open this evening, as you are far away from any light pollution and have the best conditions to see the famous Northern Lights dancing in the sky. After a night in the cozy wilderness cabin (shared accommodation), you make your way back to the lodge. You will again be traveling between 80 and 120 km through the beautiful and untouched winter landscape.

Day 6: Snowmobile day tour
Start the day with a delicious breakfast. Then make your way back to your snowmobiles. Today's day tour includes another 90-120 km of snowmobile adventure. You will have lunch around a campfire in the open air. In the evening, a delicious dinner awaits you at the lodge and you can relax in your private sauna.

Day 7: Free day
Your last day in the far north is at your leisure and can be used for other exciting activities (see "Extras") or simply to relax - just as you wish! The optional activities you can add to your stay include cycling in the snow (fat biking), cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or a visit to a reindeer farm. Of course, you also have the opportunity to go on husky safaris of varying lengths. Besides the additional activities, you can enjoy one afternoon of your trip in the smoke sauna, that is already included in the tour price, as well as a Northern Lights evening. Plan the day as you wish and end the evening with a traditional Finnish dinner.

Day 8: Departure
