7-night trip (winter)

This itinerary packs in a lot of activities to help you make the most of your trip. Of course you could do less, or spend more time on a favourite activity - like skiing.

• Stop off at ICA Pellohallen to pick up supplies

• Arrive at Lapland Lights and relax! After dark, watch for the Northern Lights over the lake

Day four

• Try your hand at ice fishing and cook up your catch for lunch, or head to Juoksengi to cross the Arctic Circle

• As it's been an easy day, tonight might be the night for an organised Northern Lights tour. You can chase them down in a minivan or go on a Northern Lights snowshoe walk

​

Day five

• Treat yourself to a lie-in and leisurely breakfast

• Take a sauna in the evening and look out for the Aurora

Day six

• Night-time is sauna time!

• Hopefully you've seen the Northern Lights by now but keep looking out because they are never the same twice

Day seven

• Another day for skiing (or snowboarding). Go back to friendly Svanstein Ski Resort, or if you want to try new slopes, try Ylläs or Levi

• Soothe away the post-ski aches and pains with a relaxing sauna and get an early night
