The day is yours to enjoy at a relaxed pace; unwind, explore the area, or simply settle into the atmosphere of the Arctic wilderness. As night approaches, weather and conditions allowing, you'll experience the magic of the Northern Lights in comfort. Board a heated sleigh and glide through the snowy wilderness under the Arctic night sky. Your guide will take you to the best viewing spots while you stay warm and cozy inside the sleigh.
This is a truly unique way to hunt for the Aurora Borealis without braving the cold.
Today, venture into the pristine wilderness on a Snowshoeing & Ice Fishing adventure. Crunch through deep snow underfoot, surrounded by snow-laden trees and the silence of Lapland’s winter. Your guide will share insights into local flora and fauna—keep an eye out for Siberian jays or willow grouse.
At a frozen lake, drill through thick ice, bait your hook, and see if you can catch a perch. Warm up by a fire with a hot drink before returning.
Later, transfer to Sunday Morning Resort and settle into the resort overlooking Pyhäjärvi Lake. Enjoy dinner and unwind in serene surroundings.
During your stay, your programme includes a variety of Arctic activities, arranged by the resort and enjoyed at a relaxed pace in any order.
One of the highlights is a visit to a traditional reindeer farm, where you’ll meet Lapland’s most iconic animals. A peaceful sleigh ride through snowy forests sets the tone, followed by a hearty Lappish lunch served with warm local hospitality.
You’ll also embark on a thrilling 5‑kilometre husky safari, racing through frozen landscapes with an enthusiastic team of huskies leading the way. The experience captures both the energy and serenity of the Arctic wilderness.
At another point during your stay, you’ll set out on an E-snowmobile safari. Riding a silent, eco‑friendly electric snowmobile, you’ll climb across the fells and reach sweeping viewpoints—ideal for taking in Lapland’s most breathtaking scenery.
As night falls, your adventure continues with an aurora quest by car. Your guide leads you deep into the fell terrain, far from light pollution, where the vast Arctic sky opens above you. With clear weather, the stars—perhaps even the Northern Lights—create a magical atmosphere.
On your second day, you’ll continue with the remaining elements of your programme, scheduled by the resort. These may include the eco‑friendly electric snowmobile safari across the fells, the thrilling 5 kilometre husky safari through frozen landscapes, the visit to a traditional reindeer farm with a peaceful sleigh ride and Lappish lunch, or the aurora quest by car.
As the day winds down, you’ll return to your accommodation for a relaxed evening, reflecting on your Arctic experiences and the unforgettable landscapes you’ve explored.

The Many Firsts of a Nordic Winter Journey - What would you do if you had a day to relax in the midst of the winter in Lapland, Finland?
Aurora Safari Camp founder, Fredrik Broman offers handy hints about capturing the Northern Lights.
Beds and room types. Hotel rooms across Scandinavia are typically furnished with twin beds that can be pushed together to form a double. Single rooms tend to be smaller than doubles 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 room with an extra bed added, which means noticeably less space than a purpose-built triple would offer.
Luggage. Porters are rare at Scandinavian hotels. You will generally carry your own bags, so pack with this in mind, particularly on itineraries with frequent hotel changes.
Wi-fi. Free wi-fi is standard across the vast majority of Scandinavian hotels at all price points.
Tea and coffee. Unlike hotels in many other parts of the world, Scandinavian accommodation at the 3-star level rarely provides in-room tea and coffee facilities. There may be a kettle, but often nothing to go with it. Many hotels do offer complimentary tea and coffee in the reception area or lobby, so it is worth asking on arrival. If this matters to you, it is worth checking with us beforehand or bringing a small supply of your own.
Lunch in winter. On itineraries that include lunch during the winter months, expect a warm soup with bread rather than a full cooked meal. This is entirely typical across the region and often very good.
Remote hotels in Lapland. At more remote properties in the far north, the hotel or lodge where you are staying will be your only realistic dining option for dinner. This is entirely normal and nothing to be concerned about. Menus are typically limited to one or two main course choices, but the food is generally home-cooked and reflects the local landscape and ingredients well.
Laundry. Self-service washing machines and dryers are typically located in the basement. If you are staying in apartment-style accommodation and cannot find them, ask at reception.
This is a general packing checklist for Scandinavian winter travel. You don’t need everything every day, but these items cover most winter conditions across the region.
