The ultimate escapist getaway for two, this adventurous, romantic destination is breathtaking in its isolation and beautiful surroundings. Even without a thick blanket of snow, you'll enjoy blissful relaxation, adrenaline-pumping outdoor adventures and the world's greatest natural wonder to make this an unforgettable Autumn trip.

Finally, four days that are focused entirely around you. You’ll both receive private use of the sauna and spa, enjoy a relaxing massage, and cut out any hassle with fully-included, private transfers. Dine on traditional Finnish cuisine, using ingredients fresh from the stunning countryside, by a roaring open fire in the wilderness.

And, of course, unwind in your accommodation for two, a glass-roofed Aurora cabin, allowing you spectacular views of the night sky, scattered with stars, and of the otherworldly northern lights.

The daytime adventures include breath-taking arctic nature experiences and Lapland adventures; beautiful national park hike and a thrilling ride on a husky safari. The package also contains two special private activities specially designed for couples. On a private aurora camp by the border with Russia, a guide leads you into the wild in search of the magical northern lights.

The second private activity is a dinner that goes beyond your average date night. We’ll take you on a journey up the beautiful, wide-open fells to a crystal clear lake, then, a 3-course dinner – complete with sparkling wine – will be set for you by an open fire as you wait for the northern lights to appear.

The schedule is planned so that you will have plenty of time for yourselves. You could go to visit the Saariselkä Spa nearby, book other activities, enjoy Saariselkä nightlife or explore Lapland’s surrounding nature on your own. Or, simply relax in the aurora cabin – the time is yours to enjoy and you can do whatever you and your partner wish.

After a day of arctic adventures, wrap up in a blanket under the Milky Way and the North Star, and watch as the tongues of flame that constitute the northern lights dance across the pure, clear skies.

Please note that the Autumn itinerary is in operation from 1 September to 13 November, when there is usually not enough snow to do the winter snow activities such as reindeer sleigh, and long husky rides. During this season the activities are a guided electric fat bike safari and a shorter husky sled ride.

A full example itinerary is detailed below, activity timings can differ slightly, your own personal schedule will be given to you upon check in.

*Price per person based on 2 people travelling, staying in a Aurora cabin (subject to availability).

Welcome to Wilderness

We’ll pick you up directly from Ivalo airport, and transfer you deep into the untouched, pristine Lappish wilderness.

We’ll show you to your home for the weekend, your cosy, warm cabin nestled in the Arctic forest and the snow-dusted fir trees.

Tonight you’ll be taken out to a beautiful lake in the wilderness, where a roaring fire will be prepared along with a stunning three-course meal made with fresh, local produce.

With any luck, on your very first night you’ll get to witness what you came for – the spectacular Northern Lights. Gaze in awe as the ethereal ribbons of light whisper their way through the atmosphere, then head back for your first evening in your luxurious, glass-topped cabin.

Explore Lapland's Beauty - Then Unwind

The morning excursion for day two of your romantic trip to the far north will take you deep into the fells and forests, as you strap on your hiking boots for an unforgettable National Park hike.

Explore the true back-of-beyond, on an exhilarating journey through stunning natural beauty, and return feeling satisfied and wearied after a morning of activity.

In the afternoon, set off for a unique aurora camp on the border with Russia, heading out to spot the northern lights in one of the most remote corners of Lapland.

The evening is yours to enjoy. Either explore the site after another hearty dinner by a crackling log fire, or cosy up under a blanket and stare through your glass roof at the perfectly black night sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of the flickering tongues of fire.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

 

Get Out into Nature

Spend day three mostly at your leisure, simply enjoying the comfort the site has to offer, the otherworldly landscape, the skis and snowshoes at your disposal, before you spend an hour on an autumn husky safari.

You’ll get up close and personal with the beautiful dogs, and learn what it’s like to travel as the indigenous people of Lapland have for centuries.

In the afternoon, you’ll have chance to truly unwind and relax with a hot stone massage or aroma therapy, as well as a private sauna session just for the two of you.

Activity timings may differ slightly, your confirmed schedule will be given to you upon check in.

 

Your Magical Weekend Complete

Wake up on your final morning here, hopefully blown away by the natural spectacle you witnessed last night.

Feeling rejuvenated and refreshed by the pure air, the time spent in nature and the extreme comfort you’ve enjoyed, head for a final breakfast.

Your stay sadly comes to an end at this point, and we’ll transfer you straight back to Ivalo airport.
