Day 1 - Welcome to Swedish Lapland and transfer to ICEHOTEL

Arrive into the small airport of Kiruna and transfer to your accommodation.

You will settle into your ice room for the night. Sleep in thermal sleeping bags laid out on reindeer skins on a special bed made of snow and ice. Inside ICEHOTEL, the temperature is never colder than -5 °C to -8 °C, regardless of how cold it may be outside. Dress in warm thermal underwear, put on a hat and slip into the cozy sleeping bag.

This evening you will meet your tour leader and enjoy a welcome dinner with the group.

Day 2 - Ice sculpting

Today, you will try ice sculpting, led by local artists who will guide you into this magical world of art and design. The class starts with the instructor talking about the crystal clear ice, which is harvested from the Torne River. After that, you get an introduction on how to use the tools, your own ice block and can let the creativity flow and ice take shape.
This evening you will stay in a warm room, i.e. a normal hotel room and enjoy a good long sleep.

Day 3 -  Transfer to Harstad, board the express boat along the Norwegian Coast to reach Tromsø

After breakfast, board your minibus and travel to Tromsø via the express boat from Harstad. Tromsø is located in the middle of the Aurora Borealis zone, and following the planet’s rotation, Tromsø moves into the aurora zone from 6pm to midnight.

Day 4 - Travel to Kilpisjärvi and stay at boutique hotel Cahkal

After breakfast, you are met by our guide at the hotel and will leave for a historical and cultural walking tour through Tromsø, the arctic city. During this walk you will also visit the Polar Museum with your guide. This museum contains the history of the Arctic hunter and explorers like Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen.

Later you will board the minibus and travel to Kilpisjärvi. The place is located just over 3 hours north towards the Norwegian border, the very northwesternmost point of Finland, near the Arctic Ocean. Here you will stay at boutique hotel Cahkal for the next 3 nights.

This evening, enjoy a group dinner at the accommodation restaurant, Aika.

Day 5 - Snowshoe adventure and sauna experience in the evening

After breakfast you will go on a snowshow adventure. It is an easy way to get in to the beautiful surrounding snowy landscape.

With local guide, you will gain deep knowledge about the unique surrounding nature and its rich history. During the trip enjoy homemade snacks and a hot drink, and admire the stunning views. Then, after the tour, we will treat you to a delicious 2-course lunch to complete your experience.

Before dinner, it is time to experience the famous Finnish sauna. The large window of the steam room lets you admire the astonishing Saana mountain. Cool off on the terrace and enjoy the view while listening to the calming sound of the Cahkal River.

Day 6 - Leisure morning, sauna and Northern Lights Adventure

Begin your day with a leisurely breakfast, followed by a free morning to unwind and absorb the tranquil beauty of the Arctic landscape.
For those eager to explore deeper into the wilderness, an optional snowmobile sleigh ride offers a thrilling adventure through snowy trails—available to book and pay locally.

After a delightful two-course lunch, treat yourself to a rejuvenating one-hour private sauna session, the perfect way to relax and recharge.

After dinner, head into the surrounding nature for a late evening adventure to seek for the northern lights. At a nice spot we enjoy hot local berry juice and snacks and enjoy the silence around us. If we are lucky the experience will be fullfilled by the dancing northern lights and stars in the sky.

NOTE: Northern Lights Tour is replaced with Snowmobile Sleigh Ride – Winter Season 2026/2027

Day 7 - Travel to Levi and check in to your glass igloos

After breakfast, travel to Levi and check-in to your glass igloo for the next 3 nights.

Each glass igloo has a kitchenette, shower and toilet. The windows are insulated and electrically heated to keep them from frosting. The kitchenette is equipped with a breakfast set for two, electric stove, microwave, coffee maker and kettle, toaster and fridge. In addition, the igloos have a radio/CD player, a hair dryer and a socket for car engine heaters.
At the centre of the igloo is a motorised double bed that can be converted into twin beds.

This evening, enjoy a group dinner at the accommodation restaurant, Restaurant Aurora Sky

Day 8 - Snowmobiling with ice fishing

Hop on a snowmobile and journey through breathtaking snowy landscapes and serene, snow-covered forests. Upon reaching the frozen river, you'll be equipped with all the necessary gear for an authentic ice-fishing experience — a traditional and local way to catch your own meal.

After the thrill of the snowmobile ride, ice fishing offers a peaceful, meditative moment to breathe deeply and unwind. And don’t worry if the fish aren’t biting — a warm, hearty soup awaits you at a cozy family-run restaurant nearby.

Once you've enjoyed your lunch, the snowmobile safari continues, taking you through the pristine white wilderness of the Arctic as you make your way back to Levi.

Afterwards, why not spend the afternoon in Levi where you can enjoy the local restaurants and cafes.

Day 9 - Experience reindeer safari and dog sledding

After breakfast, begin your journey with a peaceful reindeer sleigh ride through a quiet, snow-covered forest. Let the serene silence of nature wash over you as you glide through the frozen landscape, leaving behind the noise of everyday life. It’s a moment to relax, reflect, and soak in the beauty of the Arctic wilderness.

Next, shift gears for an adrenaline-filled husky safari! These spirited and powerful dogs will whisk you across snowy trails, frozen lakes, and vast white expanses. Before the ride, you’ll receive clear instructions to ensure you feel confident and in control. Midway through the adventure, you’ll have the chance to switch drivers, so both of you can experience the thrill of leading your own husky team. After the ride, gather around a warm fire in a cozy hut to share stories and impressions. Enjoy a delicious soup lunch as you unwind.

This evening, a farewell dinner with the group will take place in the restaurant.

Day 10 - Departure day
