Wilderness Hotel Muotka in Finnish Lapland is situated close to Urho Kekkonen National Park with an endless snow covered landscape of forest and fells. This active 3 night Northern Lights holiday combines cozy lodgings in a relaxed atmosphere with several thrilling winter adventures included, such as a husky safari, reindeer day by snowmobile, aurora snowshoeing and an aurora camp.
Departure Days: These trips operate daily from late November to mid April. We can also create a bespoke itinerary for your specific requirements, please ask our Sales team for the different options.
Strap on your snowshoes and take an enchanting wander into the wild taiga forest. You’ll enjoy a steady hike through the stunning wilderness to the camp spot, all the while looking to the skies for signs of the magical Northern Lights, and keeping an eye out for wildlife tracks in the snow. At the campsite, we’ll warm up with some hot drinks and hope for a view of the lights dancing above us.
This is the ‘must do’ experience and the favourite activity of guests at Muotka. When you arrive, the husky's excitement is contagious as you tether them to your sled. Once set up, they’ll pull you through the beautiful winter scenery, and you’ll realise this is the best way to see Lapland. As the dogs fall silent, you are left with the soft padding of paws and the swoosh of the sleigh for company. All safaris run so that one guest is mushing while the other rides on the sleigh, with these positions being swapped halfway. Children ride behind in a cosy sled. (Driving time approximately one hour)
This evening take your seat in a comfortable sleigh, pulled by a snowmobile, and head off into the night in search of the mesmerising Northern Lights. Your destination is an Aurora camp with minimal light pollution, a blazing open fire, plenty of hot drinks and a fantastic viewing spot to hopefully catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights as they dance across the sky.
