5 days - Adventure and Northern Lights in a Wilderness Lodge in Finland

Day 3 - Snow shoeing trek and Aurora hunting on the stunning Lake Inari
After breakfast, head out snowshoeing, the best way to experience the beauty and calmness of Nordic forests. Perhaps spot animal tracks on snow, see the snow-covered forests and if lucky, also meet some wildlife during your trek. There will be a lunch by an open fire on this day.
This evening, join another excursion taking you Aurora hunting on the stunning Lake Inari. Sit comfortably a sledge that is pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. Enjoy the northern sky all the way to the camp place. While observing the night sky, warm up around a blazing campfire sipping hot drinks and enjoying each other’s company. The atmosphere by the campfire is an experience in itself. Lake Inari is one of the best places in the world for aurora viewing since there is no light pollution at all. If you are lucky, you might get to enjoy this unique light phenomenon.

An absolute ‘must do’ when visiting Lapland!

All our husky safaris include full instructions and are based on two people sharing a sled unless otherwise stated.
In the afternoon, you will have a chance to meet an authentic reindeer herder and his herd. You will learn interesting facts about these semi-wild animals and the life up here in the north.
