Days 4-7

Four nights in Finnish Lapland

Spend your time exploring the incredible landscape surrounding your log cabin in Saariselkä. Here in Finnish Lapland, winters are cold and dark, and the skies perfect for viewing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) – you can experience a magnificent nighttime adventure under the stars on a sleigh pulled by reindeer. You will spend some time in a traditional hut, known as a kota, and gather by the open fire to hear stories and traditional Sámi songs. And if you still want more time in a sled, your concierge can arrange a husky safari, when you can mush along beautiful forest trails and enjoy lunch around a campfire.
