This carefully designed 10-day itinerary lets you indulge in the wonders of a true Finnish Lapland winter. Stay in the region's most captivating glass igloos and treetop suites while engaging in once-in-a-lifetime Arctic experiences like reindeer sleigh rides, ice fishing, and the elusive Northern Lights.
Your winter adventure begins as you touchdown in Ivalo and journey to the beautiful Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. This unique resort is legendary for its Kelo glass igloos, which offer front-row views of the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed. Over four magical nights, you’ll dash across snowy hills on a husky safari, ice fish on a frozen lake, and visit Santa Claus himself in his secret forest cottage.

Days 5-10 Arctic Treehouse Hotel
You’ll be taken by a private driver to the Arctic Treehouse Hotel for the final five nights, where your stay unfolds in a breathtaking treehouse adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows. Gaze out at the wintry wilderness and, if luck is on your side, witness the ethereal northern lights.
Engage in exhilarating adventures, from snowmobile sledding in the snow to wintry Aurora-spotting walks – and the brave can even try out the unique experience of Arctic floating. This resort is also a short walk from Santa Claus Village, where you can enjoy a festive experience like no other.
