Winter Holiday in Ruka-Kuusamo: the Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Kuusamo and Arriving In at the Resort
Upon arrival at Kuusamo Airport, a short transfer brings you to the resort in just about nine minutes. Once you have checked into your Aurora Room, there is time to unpack, relax, and explore the grounds. The day ends with a three-course dinner, which also starts your meal plan for the trip.

Day 2: Husky Safari and Time for Yourself
After breakfast, you set off on an 8 km husky safari - directly from the resort with no long transfer needed. Sharing a sled in pairs, you take turns driving along the route. Afterwards, there is time to get to know the dogs better, followed by a cozy gathering around the open fire with warm drinks, snacks, and stories about the huskies. The afternoon is yours to enjoy: for instance, take the sled provided in your room to the resort's sledding hill. After dinner, a walk along the illuminated forest path is a great option - or keep an eye on the night sky to spot the Northern Lights instead.
Day 3: Out on the Snowmobile
Well-fueled after breakfast, you head out on a guided snowmobile safari through the snow-covered countryside. By default, two people share one snowmobile - if you prefer to drive solo, a single snowmobile can be booked for an extra fee. During a break with hot drinks and snacks, you switch places along the way so everyone gets a turn ti drive. The adternoon is free for your own plans: borrow complimentary snowshoes or cross-country skis, or warm up with snacks in the kota. The day finishes with dinner as usual.
Day 4: Departure or Time for your own Discoveries
Depending on your booked trip length, the transfer takes you back to the airport today - or you can enjoy another free day in the North. Spend the time as you wish, explore the surroundings, or choose from optional activities listed under "Extras" (please book in advance). Breakfast and dinner are included again today.
Day 5: Farewell to Finland
After breakfast, it is time to check out of your Aurora Room. With unforgettable memories in tow, your transfer brings you back to Kuusamo Airport, where you will start your journey home. Meal service ends today with breakfast.
Accommodation:
You will stay in one of the resort's Aurora Rooms. Equipped with two beds, a sofa bed, a bathroom, a kitchenette, and underfloor heating, it offers all the essentials comforts. The main highlight is the glass roof directly above the beds: enjoy the calm view of the sky and, with a bit of luck, watch the Northern Lights right from your bed.
The Lumo Resort is set in a magical winter landscape of snow-covered trees and rolling white hills. Just a few steps from your accommodation, the restaurant welcomes you with beautiful panoramic views. Away from the scheduled tours, there is plenty to do on site: take a stroll or ski along the illuminated forest path, race down the sledding hill, or explore the surroundings at your own pace on the marked snowshoe trail network. For cozy, relaxing moments, enjoy the pleasant warmth of the sauna, or gather around the open fire in the traditional kota with cocoa, coffee and pancakes. A resort-owned reindeer farm completes the experience on site.
Important information:
To drive a snowmobile, you must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver's license. Children aged 6 to 14 ride comfortable in the guide's sled. For the husky tour, the guides on site decide bades on the child's age, size, and physical condition whether they can drive the sled themselves or join as passenger.
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. Optional activities have very limited availability; we recommend booking them well in advance, often weeks or months before departure, as they may be fully booked by the time of travel.
