Remote Aurora Hideaway

Magical Aurora Holiday in Arctic Finland

Surrounded by snow-clad fir trees and glistening lakes, the small resort of Magical Pond in Finnish Lapland is the idyllic choice for a tranquil and enchanting winter holiday. It benefits from a remote and peaceful location, nestled in pure nature, yet only a short distance from Ruka ski resort - making it perfect for those who wish to experience the beauty of the arctic wilderness with the option of spending time on the slopes.

Scattered amongst the fir trees, Magical Pond offers accommodation in stylish glass igloos, each with large panoramic windows facing the north for optimum aurora viewing from your bedroom. The small and intimate resort also offers a cozy lounge and reception area - offering an atmospheric and peaceful place to relax and read a book or socialise with loved ones. Enjoy delicious meals in Kataja Restaurant whilst admiring the surrounding nature from the large windows, and take part in memorable winter activities.

Day 2:

There is no better way to experience the arctic wilderness than taking part in a selection of ‘must do’ activities - we have included a Husky Safari, Snowmobile Adventure, Snowshoe walk and a sleigh ride under the stars. Other activities are available should you wish to amend the selection.

Husky Safari

Enjoy a fast-paced husky sled ride in the wintry forest landscape. After receiving instructions on how to mush your own team of huskies, you drive in pairs, one as a musher and one a passenger along the snowy trails, the huskies leading the way. After the ride, you’ll have the chance to cuddle the friendly dogs, eagerly waiting for their next adventure.

Sleigh ride under the Stars

When the night falls and stars begin to shine, you’ll hop on to the sledge behind the guide’s snowmobile and drive into the dark night. While the guide is focussing on the driving, you can focus on looking towards the northern sky in search of the northern lights and enjoying the arctic silence. During the trip, hot juice is served.

Day 3:

Snowmobile Adventure

You’ll receive safety information and driving instructions (a full driving licence is required) before you head to the trails on a guided snowmobile safari. Along the way, you’ll experience spectacular views and scenery while getting an adrenaline kick as you speed through the arctic landscape.

Snowshoe Walk

Head out in the national park and enjoy the silence of the wilderness on a guided snowshoe trek. This is a great way to get close to nature and marvel at the winter scenery, with many photo opportunities.

Day 4:

After breakfast, take the transfer back to the airport for your onward journey.
