L7 Luxury Lodge

Forest and Fell Adventures of Luxury Finland

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 and adventure go hand in hand 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 5 night soft adventure discovery of Finnish Lapland, where crisp snow crunches underfoot and the northern lights dance overhead.

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. Lets the adventures begin! Transfer to a nearby Husky farm where you can meet up to 40 happy working dogs, who will show their pleasure to meet you. On this safari you will part of a team mushing and steering a sled of 4-6 huskies along forest trails, with only the sound of soft paws and sled runners passing over the crisp snow to accompany you. The rest of the day 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.

Day 3

After the excitement of yesterday, a gentler day awaits. Join your English speaking guide for a lesson in cross country skiing. They will teach you how to put on the skis and the techniques for travelling on this traditional form of transport. After your lesson keep hold of the skiis and explore some of the many trails that criss cross the area, perfecting your new found skills, The lodge staff will be able to guide you on the best trails to take. Savour a light lunch before curling 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.

Day 4

Today's Arctic adventure will be by snowmobile through the forest and lakes, over fells to high mountain terrain and glorious views. After being kitted out in warm gear, the tour begins with a full explanation on how to safely drive a snowmobile, before following your guide out into the surrounding wilds. Two passengers share a snowmobile with many opportunities to swap places and to take photos. Your guides will find a great spot to rest, build a fire and prepare a wonderful outdoor picnic lunch. This evening is another opportunity to wrap up warm and step outside to look out for the northern lights. Why not book an optional northern lights excursion.

Day 5

Your final full day in the Finnish back country and you have a wonderful opportunity to leave the trail most travelled and explore further afield on your snowshoe adventure. Strap on your snowshoes, under your guides instruction, and head out into the snowy surrounds with only silence as your companion. Keep an eye out for signs of the local wildlife and listen to stories of local myths from your guide.

Day 6

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.
