Itinerary

Important Information

Accommodation

Northern Lights Village, Pyhä, offers aurora cabins with glass roofs and private bathrooms, set directly in the Arctic landscape. Sunday Morning Resort provides well-appointed rooms and apartments overlooking forest and lake, with restaurant dining and access to the surrounding national park area. Both properties reflect a distinctly Nordic approach to design and hospitality.

Families travelling with younger children may wish to consider our Northern Lights & Arctic Sky itinerary, designed for families with children from 4 years old.

Snowmobiles

Two people share a snowmobile: one drives and one rides as a passenger, with the opportunity to switch halfway through. To drive a snowmobile, you must be 18 or older and hold a valid driving licence; carry it with you. Those without a licence may travel as a passenger. Children over 140cm may ride as a passenger on a guide's snowmobile; younger children travel in a sled pulled by the guide.

Activities

Weather conditions may occasionally affect certain activities and the schedule may be adjusted accordingly. For multi-activity stays, the order of activities is often confirmed locally on arrival. Activities may vary slightly in duration or location due to conditions. Any activities that cannot be rescheduled due to weather will generally be refunded, as determined by the activity provider.

Optional activities may include northern lights hunts, a visit to the Amethyst Mine, and cross-country skiing. A visit to Santa's Village in Rovaniemi can also be arranged at additional cost.

A note on Nordic hotels

• Beds and room types. Hotel rooms in Scandinavia are typically furnished with twin beds that can be pushed together. Single rooms tend to be smaller and usually have a shower rather than a bath. Purpose-built triple or family rooms are uncommon; if three people are sharing, expect a standard double with an extra bed, which means less space than a dedicated triple would offer.
• Luggage. Porters are rare at Scandinavian hotels. You will carry your own bags, so pack with this in mind, particularly on itineraries with multiple hotel changes.
• Wi-fi. Free wi-fi is standard across the vast majority of Scandinavian hotels.
• Tea and coffee. In-room tea and coffee facilities are less common than in other parts of the world, though many properties offer complimentary tea and coffee in the reception area or lobby. If this matters to you, it is worth asking on arrival or checking with us beforehand.
• Lunch in winter. On itineraries that include a winter lunch, expect a warm soup with bread rather than a full cooked meal. This is standard across the region and often very good.
• Remote properties in Lapland. At more remote lodges in the far north, the property where you are staying will typically be your only realistic dining option for dinner. Menus are usually limited to one or two main course choices but tend to reflect local ingredients and cooking traditions well.
• Laundry. Self-service washing machines are typically located in the basement. If staying in apartment-style accommodation and you cannot locate them, ask at reception.
