Surrounded by breathtaking Finnish wilderness, experience the stillness and authenticity of an arctic escape at Vaattunki Wilderness Resort. With direct access to nature, embrace the outdoors with exciting activities from an exhilarating husky ride to a gentle reindeer sleigh ride under a starry sky.
Day 1 Upon arrival you will be met and transferred to Vaattunki Wilderness Resort. You will stay in a Panoramic Hut featuring a full-size panoramic window overlooking the enchanting Lappish Forest.
Days 2-4 Over the next few days enjoy a mixture of winter activities and free time. Visit the kennels for your husky safari where you will get to know your fluffy companions and learn to steer your sleigh before gliding through the snowy landscape. After, enjoy hot drinks by the campfire while your guide shares stories of the kennel. During your stay you will also have the chance to master the art of driving a snowmobile on a thrilling tour through snow coated forest. Embrace the Finnish culture with a relaxing private sauna and hot tub experience alongside the idyllic river that flows through the resort. In your free time perhaps take the free shuttle into Rovaniemi town or to Santa Claus’ Village and see the man himself. Hire a pair of snowshoes and explore the neighbouring nature park, featuring miles of trails through untouched Lappish wilderness. As the sun sets and the sky is swept with darkness, enjoy a magical reindeer sleigh ride in search of the spectacular northern lights before warming up with a hot drink in a traditional Finnish Kota. Spend a memorable night under the stars in your own cabin style glass igloo, with a glass dome over the bed and aurora alarm to wake you if the northern lights appear.
Day 5 Enjoy a final breakfast before your transfer to the airport for your return flight home.
