After a day filled with childhood dreams come to life, return to the comfort and warmth of your Arctic GlassHouse at the Arctic TreeHouse Hotel.
Day 4: Scenic Journey to Levi

Upon arrival in Levi, check in to the Levin Iglut Northern Lights House, where luxurious accommodation and sweeping Arctic views await. Spend the remainder of the day at leisure, exploring Levi or simply relaxing beneath the northern skies.
Day 5: Husky Safari and Wilderness Trails
Venture into the snow-clad wilderness on an exhilarating husky safari.

Marvel at intricate artistry before enjoying a three-course gourmet dinner in the Ice Restaurant—a truly unique culinary experience. Return to the Levin Iglut Northern Lights House, where the allure of the Arctic night envelops you in quiet wonder.
