A chance to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights during a night-time trek on snowshoes to the top of the highest fell. Learn about the night sky, discover Lappish life and culture.

Friends and parties

Make new friends and have fun in the middle of nowhere. Mind-blowing group activities throughout the tour and loud after-parties for relaxing and socializing.

The Experience of a Lifetime

A unique opportunity to live like a Lappish Finn: ride a husky sledge, drive a snowmobile, take a dip in the ice-cold Arctic Ocean and then relax in a piping hot sauna.
