Staying at: Wilderness Hotel Nangu

Day 2:

Today you'll enjoy two adventures in one starting with a short transfer to Nellim Wilderness Hotel. Here you'll find a pack of excitable husky dogs waiting to take you out on a sledding adventure. You will be taught how to handle the sled before you head out into the beautiful winter scenery, passing over frozen Lake Inari. Enjoy the moment the dogs fall silent once on the trail allowing for nature's silence to take over. You'll share a sled with a fellow passenger, with the chance to both drive your team of dogs. After lunch, you'll visit a local Sami reindeer herder where you'll meet his herd and get to know how life is like in the Arctic.

Return to the lodge in the evening for a hearty dinner and another chance to view the Northern Lights this time by snow mobile sleigh to the lodge's secluded Aurora Camp. Warm yourself by the open fire, enjoy some hot drinks and watch for the Northern Lights across the star filled sky.

Day 3:

Today you'll join a short snowmobile excursion and enjoy a chance to get to know this Arctic means of transportation. This tour is perfect for those who have never tried snowmobiling before. First you have a full safety briefing before heading out onto the frozen Lake Inari. If you would like to join a longer half day tour into the fells, this is also possible.

After dinner this evening you'll enjoy a guided hunt for the Northern Lights by snow shoe. You'll head out onto Lake Inari for a gentle night-time hike looking skywards for any appearances of the Aurora Borealis. A hot drink will be shared under the stars.

Day 4:

Enjoy your final breakfast this morning before bidding farewell to Nangu. Your transfer will bring you back to Ivalo Airport. Get in touch with the Magnetic North Travel team if you would like to extend your stay in the Arctic or tailor the itinerary to your preferences.
