ITINERARY

On arrival at Kiruna airport you will be met and transferred the short distance to Mattarahkka Lodge where you will be greeted by the friendly team and receive warm arctic clothing for the duration of your stay.
 
After the day travelling, what better way to relax and unwind than soaking in the rooftop hot tub with panoramic views of the night sky, giving you the opportunity to keep watch for the dancing aurora. Your private session will be allocated on arrival and may be on a different day. Each evening from 17.00 the sauna is ready for all guests to use as much or as little as they like during their stay. It’s a very ‘Scandinavian’ thing to do and a wonderful way to relax and feel energised.
