Nangu Wilderness Lodge

Northern Lights Break at Wilderness Hotel Nangu

The vast frozen expanse of Lake Inari in Northern Finland sets an impressive scene for a romantic winter holiday to search for the Northern Lights and take part in thrilling activities. The scene is set on the lake’s southern shore, where Wilderness Hotel Nangu enjoys a prime location in anticipation of the Aurora Borealis and with uninterrupted views of Finland’s snowy wilderness beyond.

This luxurious boutique lodge is an adult-only resort, offering very comfortable accommodation in the different room types and a cozy open-plan lounge and restaurant area with a log fire to relax and marvel at the winter wonderland through the panoramic windows.

We are delighted to offer a 4 night holiday which includes return transfers, comfortable wilderness accommodation, all meals and several activities, or if you prefer, this break can be tailored to your personal requirements.

A lunch stop is made to warm up with hot drinks and a snack before returning to the lodge.

Husky Safari and Meet the Reindeer
A short transfer takes you to the husky kennels where you’ll find a pack of excitable husky dogs waiting to take you out on a dog sledding adventure. You will be shown how to handle your own sled before heading out in pairs, one mushing the team and one as a passenger, each taking turns to drive the dog sled through the beautiful winter scenery. Enjoy the moment as the dogs fall silent once on the trail allowing for nature’s silence to take over.
