5-star wilderness experience

SHALL WE GO AND PACK?

Luxury Aurora break at L7 Lodge

Sitting at the end of a country road, on the edge of Pallas-Ylläs national park, overlooking Lake Kukaslompolo, lies a luxury lodge where relaxation comes easily and the Northern lights shine brightly through the darkness. L7 lodge has been beautifully crafted from fallen logs, bringing the natural warmth and feel of the forest outside, inside. Enjoy a small piece of this wilderness bliss with a 3 night Northern lights experience. Head out on snowmobile and snowshoes and find the best spots from which to admire the spectacular Aurora Borealis.

ITINERARY

WHAT, WHERE & WHEN

Day 1

Arrive into Kittila airport and meet your driver for your transfer to L7 Luxury Lodge. Sit back, relax and admire the white winter wilds as they pass by. Spend the rest of the day settling into your VIP room, maybe enjoy a little afternoon tea with sweet and salty pastries, fresh from the kitchen. As the sky darkens, and if conditions are right, it’s time to wrap up warm and step outside to catch your first glimpse of the northern lights.

Day 2

After good nights sleep, enjoy a hearty breakfast. All of the food is produced from some of the finest local ingredients, allowing the freshness to shine through. Today can be as relaxing or energetic as you wish. Step inside a staple of Finnish life, the sauna, after which you roll in the snow or take a dip in the frozen river, it is very invigorating but only for the brave, before heading back to the sauna. If you wish to explore the surrounding countryside, make use of a pair of cross country skis or snowshoes, the staff will happily provide suggestions of which trails to follow, keep a look out for signs of the local wildlife along the way. Due to its location, light pollution is kept to a minimum and tonight is your first opportunity to chase the northern lights, this time from the back of a snowmobile. Your guide will provide you with full instructions on how to drive your snowmobile before heading off into the forest to find the best spots to watch the colours dance across the sky and to admire the millions of stars above. Snowmobiles are shared between two people, with each given an opportunity to drive.

Day 3

After a lazy lie in, a steaming cup of tea or coffee, curl up on the comfy sofa in the living room and enjoy a good book or views of the crisp white forest through the picture windows, all while logs crackle on the oversized fireplace. Spend the afternoon perfecting your cross country skiing technique or maybe book an optional dog sledding tour. This evening is all about making fresh tracks through the forest on snowshoes, where the silence surrounds you and, if you are lucky, the northern lights will make another spectacular appearance overhead. Your guide will show you the best spots to watch the sky and how to get that memorable photo.

Day 4

It’s time to leave your forest home behind and head back to the airport in time for your onward flight. If you fancy spending longer in Finland, contact the Magnetic North team and we will be able to provide you with a variety of options for creating your ideal Finland Northern lights Experience.
