This evening take your seat in a comfortable sleigh, pulled by a snowmobile, and head off into the night in search of the mesmerising Northern Lights. Your destination is an Aurora camp with minimal light pollution, a blazing open fire, plenty of hot drinks and a fantastic viewing spot to hopefully catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights as they dance across the sky.
This is the ‘must do’ experience and the favourite activity of guests at Muotka. When you arrive, the husky's excitement is contagious as you tether them to your sled. Once set up, they’ll pull you through the beautiful winter scenery, and you’ll realise this is the best way to see Lapland. As the dogs fall silent, you are left with the soft padding of paws and the swoosh of the sleigh for company. All safaris run so that one guest is mushing while the other rides on the sleigh, with these positions being swapped halfway. Children ride behind in a cosy sled. (Driving time approximately one hour)
Embrace a slower pace with a gentle guided snowshoe walk through the snowy surroundings. With only the crunch of snow underfoot, this is a perfectly peaceful way to enjoy this beautiful landscape. Throughout the trek, your guide will share interesting stories and information about Finnish nature and wildlife.
This is the perfect opportunity to try out cross-country skiing with a local guide who will show you the ropes, or point you in the right direction if you've skied before. Once everyone has got the hang of it, we’ll embark on a beautiful loop through the surrounding nature. This is the most peaceful way to explore the snowy scenery. We will be in no hurry, so there will be plenty of opportunities to stop for picture taking and hot drinks.
Depart into the Arctic night by snowmobile and seek out the elusive Northern Lights. Your evening experience begins with a thorough safety briefing and then it's time to rev the engines. Your guide will take you along easy-going trails looking for cloud-free skies and signs of the Northern Lights. Once we reach the perfect viewing spot, we’ll get the campfire going and enjoy some hot drinks in each other's company. You'll share a snowmobile with the chance to switch places. Drivers must be at least 18 years of age, with a driving licence valid in Finland. (Single drive available for supplementary charge)
