Stylish Wilderness Hotel

Aurora Break at Wilderness Hotel Juutua

Wilderness Hotel Juutua is the newest addition to the Wilderness Hotel Group in Finnish Lapland. Also comprising Hotels Nellim, Muotka, Inari and Nangu, the concept of each resort is to offer great value inclusive holidays for guests looking for a high quality product, great service and attention to detail. Each resort is slightly different, albeit the accommodation types available, the style and setting amongst the arctic wilderness.

Hotel Juutua stands on the shore of River Juutua and in the heart of Sami Village Inari. The hotel was fully renovated and opened its doors again in December 2022. We are delighted to offer this 4 night package which includes transfers, all meals, daytime activities and chances for viewing the phenomenal Northern Lights.

The following activities are included during your 4 night holiday, and the exact order will be confirmed on your personal itinerary when checking in. They all include an English speaking guide, safety information and instructions on how to use the equipment.

Snowmobile Safari (2 hours)
After full instructions on how to use these powerful machines, you head out on trails through the snowy wilderness - a breathtaking experience you will never forget.

Days 2-4:

Husky Safari (3 hours)
This is a ‘must do’ activity on any trip to the Arctic. On arrival at the kennels you will meet the super friendly huskies, and after learning how to mush your own dog sledding team, the eager huskies will pull your sled through the beautiful silent winter scenery. Driving in pairs, you take it in pairs to mush and sit as a passenger in the sled.

Snowshoeing Experience (4 hours)
For a calmer experience to enjoy the snowy setting, snowshoeing is a delightful way to be out in nature, learning from the guide all about the area and wildlife in Finnish Lapland. The brightness of the glistening snow and silence of the wilderness is a magical experience.

Aurora Camp (3 hours)
You will be comfortably seated in a sledge pulled by the guide's snowmobile and taken to a secluded camp away from light pollution, with the best possibilities of viewing the dancing aurora borealis overhead. At the camp, warm up around the open fire and enjoy hot drinks while waiting for the lights to appear.

Aurora Workshop (1 hour)
Join the experienced guides on a short workshop and learn all about the science behind the natural phenomenon. You can take your own camera to make sure you have the correct settings ready to take that amazing photo.

Day 5:
