THE MAGIC OF LAPLAND
A little closer to the magic.
Lapland is genuinely hard to describe to someone who hasn’t been. There’s a quality of stillness you find in very few places — snow-covered pine forests stretching for miles, air so clean it almost tastes different, and an expansive Arctic sky that occasionally, thrillingly, comes alive with colour.
Husky sledding through the forest, meeting reindeer herded by Sami families, warming your hands on a lakeside fire, or simply watching the Northern Lights from a glass roof cabin — these are the moments a Lapland trip is made of. Let Susi help you find the version that’s right for you.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
No two Lapland trips are alike. These are some of the experiences that make this destination so remarkable — and Susi can help you decide which ones belong in yours.
How 4 nights in Lapland might unfold.
The itinerary below is purely illustrative. It’s designed to give you a feel for the rhythm of a Lapland trip — not to suggest that these specific activities, properties or transfers are available or included. Susi will work with you to create something that suits your dates, pace and priorities.
01
Day 1 — Escape to the Wilderness
When you touch down at Kittila airport, we’ll be waiting there to transfer you directly to the incredible Northern Lights Village. Drive through the ethereal pine forest, and arrive at your very own luxury accommodation, nestled within the still, white trees.
Take some time to settle in, unpack, or explore the site, then we’ll welcome you for a dinner in the cosy Lappi restaurant for a meal made with natural, local produce from the surrounding environment.
After dinner, the evening is yours to enjoy. You can choose to relax in front of a roaring log fire or head back to your warm cabin for a night of lying under the ink-black sky, gazing upwards through the clear window to catch a glimpse of the incredible Northern Lights.
02
Day 2 — Immerse Yourself in Nature
Start your day with a hearty breakfast, and prepare yourself for a day of activities that will allow you to get in touch with nature and experience true wilderness.
You’ll start the day with a reindeer sleigh safari. Get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, so central to Sami culture and symbolic of life in the far northern reaches of Finland.
Experience a ride in a sleigh from one of these gentle animals, and hiss through the silent trees and the pure, cold air.
For the kids, they’ll be able to experience some real Lapland magic, as they meet the ‘real’ Santa in his home!
You’ll have free access to the site’s sleds, snowshoes, skis and other equipment for the entire experience, so that you’re free to explore the trails and paths that snake through this untouched, pristine part of the world and discover gentle slopes, hidden clearings and frozen lakes.
Satisfyingly wearied and chilled from a day in the open, you’ll head for another warming, hearty dinner, warm your bones by an open fire, and spend the evening at your leisure, waiting for the spectacular Borealis to burn across the clear night sky
03
Day 3 — Snowmobile Safari
This full day will get you further from the Northern Lights village and out into the beautiful snowy wilderness of Lapland.
Embarking on a 2-hour snowmobile safari, you’ll explore pristine fells and silent, snow-covered forest, frozen lakes and rivers, and magnificent hillsides.
Your expert guide will help you get the hang of your snowmobile, then lead you on a stunning adventure around the part of the world that is one of Europe’s last remaining wild places.
Return and enjoy passing time at your leisure, drinking in your surroundings and enjoying great Finnish food..
04
Day 4 — Chasing the Northern Lights
Wake up on your penultimate morning here, hopefully blown away by the natural spectacle you witnessed last night.
You will have the opportunity to spend this day at your leisure, exploring the village or going further afield on an organised or self-led activity.
In the evening, you’ll get to experiences the magic of the Northern Lights like never before, as you ride a heated sleigh deep into the Finnish wilderness, to drink in the lights in true isolation – an otherworldly experience.
05
Day 5 — Departure
Check out before 12 noon after a hearty breakfast and your private transfer will take you to the airport for your return flight, taking with you memories that will last a lifetime!
