7 Night Itinerary includes:

Northern Lights Snowmobile Safari

Duration: Two hours

An evening excursion when, with the night sky overhead, you head out through the wintry wilderness to a vantage point in the hope of seeing the fabled and magical Northern Lights. Two adults share a snowmobile. Includes hot drink.

Northern Lights Forest Trek

Duration: One hour minimum

You will be guided on a walk through the forest to a spectacular viewpoint, overlooking the divided village of Karesuando. From here, you may be lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights unfold above the village before returning to the warmth of the Davvi Arctic Lodge. Includes hot drink.

Call Of The Wild Husky Safari

Duration: Two hours

An unforgettable adventure into the wilderness, pulled by your own team of beautiful huskies. Two adults share a sled and dog team. Includes hot drink.

Reindeer Camp

Duration: Three hours

Learn about herding and lassoing reindeer from authentic reindeer farmers. Then venture into the wilderness on a reindeer sleigh safari. Includes hot drink.

Cross-Country Ski School & Guided Ski Tour

Duration: Two hours

The Davvi Arctic Lodge is a great choice for cross-country skiing. There are long wilderness trails, some groomed and illuminated, with one located next to the hotel. You will receive ample tuition before trying a short skiing trip. Not as complicated as it looks, healthy and great fun too.

Sámi Museum & Ice Castle

Duration: half day

The small Sámi museum at Hetta (about 50 mins drive) provides a fascinating insight into the culture and traditions of the Sámi people. The ice castle, reconstructed every year, features a number of rooms with ornate ice carvings.

Knife Factory

Duration: minimum one hour

Situated on the Swedish side of the village, the tour includes a brief tour of this traditional knife factory and an opportunity to see the importance of knives in everyday Sámi life.

This is one of the most popular excursions! Everything is included: transfers, dinner and overnight stay. The arrival itself to the magically illuminated Snow Village by snowmobiles through the frosty forest is an unforgettable experience. Once you have enjoyed a dinner in the ice restaurant you will be introduced to an overnight in snow hotel (double room, 2 persons / room). After breakfast in the morning the safari continues back to the safari house.
