Location

Your Northern Lights adventure begins when we pick you up directly from Rovaniemi Airport and transfer you into the Lappish wilderness, through pristine snow encrusted pine forest and snowy fells until we reach your resort in Pyha ( pronounce Pu-ha).

Here, you’ll be shown to your private cabin or suite. The stylish, elegant accommodation will be your base for the experiences, and offers beautifully cosy warmth against the Arctic weather outside.
