Holiday program
Day 1. Arrival Day
Welcome to Lapland! You will be greeted at the airport with a hotel sign and transferred to Wilderness Hotel Kieppi in Saariselkä village (approx. 35 min). Upon arrival, you will receive your program schedule before dinner. Depending on your arrival time, cold weather gear will be given to you either upon arrival or the next day.
Day 2. Winter Activities
Husky Safari (2,5hrs)
This adventure will take you through stunning lakes and forests. Before we set off, you'll learn how to handle the sled. Feel the excitement of the huskies as they get ready, and then enjoy the serene silence as they pull your sled through the beautiful winter scenery. Each sled is set up for two guests, with one mushing and the other seated in the sleigh. Halfway through the journey, you'll switch positions so both of you get to experience the thrill of mushing. (Sledge driving time approximately 1 hour).
Aurora Hunt by car (3hrs)
Aurora Hunt by Car is one of our popular Aurora gazing activities. We’ll set out to chase the northern lights by car, heading to a specific location with hopefully clear skies for the best chance to witness this spectacular phenomenon. If the weather isn't ideal, we’ll travel further to find clearer skies. Along the way, the guide will serve warm drinks and snacks, making it a cozy and memorable adventure in search of the magical Auroras.
Day 3. Departure Day
After breakfast you're transferred to Ivalo Airport. It’s time to say goodbye to Saariselkä Wilderness Hotel and head towards new adventures.
