Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Rovaniemi and Welcome at Apukka Resort

Your magical Lapland holiday begins with a private transfer from Rovaniemi Airport to the enchanting Apukka Resort. Upon arrival, settle into your chosen accommodation—either the luxurious Aurora Queen Cabin for two or the spacious Sky View Cabin for a group of four. The first evening is designed for unwinding: enjoy a delicious dinner and take in the peaceful surroundings. With clear skies, you may catch your very first glimpse of the mesmerising Northern Lights dancing above the Arctic wilderness.

Optional upgrades such as a reindeer sleigh ride or snowmobile safari can be arranged to elevate your arrival experience.

Day 2

Husky Safari and Santa Claus Village Option

Wake up to a hearty breakfast before embarking on a thrilling shared Husky Adventure through Lapland’s snowy forest trails. Feel the exhilaration of mushing your own team of huskies across the pristine landscapes. After the ride, enjoy free time for lunch at the resort restaurant (not included), or choose to visit the magical SantaPark or Santa Claus Village with pre-arranged return transfers.

The afternoon offers opportunities for optional activities such as ice fishing, horse sleigh rides, or a snowshoe walk. Dinner is served at the resort, and another chance awaits to witness the elusive aurora overhead before retiring to your cosy cabin.

Day 3

Scenic Transfer to Levi and Northern Lights Ranch

Begin the day with breakfast followed by a relaxed morning—perfect for one last Apukka activity like the lakeside sauna and Arctic bath. Later, a private transfer will take you to Levi, where you’ll check into the Northern Lights Ranch. This tranquil retreat offers stunning Sky View Cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows, ideal for aurora spotting from the comfort of your bed. After settling in, enjoy dinner in the atmospheric restaurant and unwind in your luxurious accommodation nestled in the silent, snow-covered landscape.

Day 4

Winter Activities and Evening Aurora Chase

After breakfast, enjoy complimentary use of snowshoes to explore the marked trail around the ranch, or test your skills with ice skates at the nearby rink. For those seeking more adventure, additional activities can be booked, such as the SnowVillage experience, a snow fire and feast picnic, skiing on the Levi slopes, or even a sauna and hot tub session. The evening begins with a relaxed dinner followed by a shared four-hour Aurora Chase. Led by expert guides, this immersive experience takes you deep into the Arctic wilderness for a fireside picnic and unparalleled aurora viewing.

Day 5

Departure from Kittilä Airport

On your final morning, enjoy breakfast at the ranch before your private transfer to Kittilä Airport. Depart with unforgettable memories of snowy forests, aurora-filled skies, and magical moments spent in the heart of Finnish Lapland.

Where You'll Stay

Northern Lights Ranch

Northern Lights Ranch is a unique boutique hotel located in Finnish Lapland, 15 km from Levi Ski Resort and 30 km from Kittilä airport. Northern Lights Ranch combines tranquility, pure air and beautiful nature into an Arctic experience which is rare to come by. Because of its remote location away from artificial light, Northern Lights Ranch offers the best chance to experience the amazing Northern Lights, which are often visible during the period from August until April.

As the image indicates, Northern Lights Ranch is indeed located at the closest possible place to Levi Ski Resort without any light pollution and thus enabling the best chance to see the Northern
Lights in the area.

The accommodation units at Northern Lights Ranch are called Sky View Cabins, which are best described as very individual wooden cabins for two persons with huge, floor to ceiling windows
and heated glass ceilings above the beds, offering perfect views of the Northern sky and the surrounding nature. On evenings with clear skies the view from inside the Sky View Cabins becomes simply breathtaking. The millions of stars are lit in the sky and very often the Northern Lights appear in the sky as well. To be able to experience this from the comfort of your own motorized bed in one of the Sky View Cabins is something that we regard as luxury here in Lapland, nearly 200 km above the Arctic Circle.

The Sky View Cabins are designed with careful thought in Scandinavian style and high standards to best fit to Finnish Lapland’s extraordinary environment. All the igloo-style cabins feature glass igloo like large windows and heated glass ceilings that give a perfect view to the beautiful night sky and maximise your opportunity to see the northern lights dancing on the sky.

Apukka Resort

Nestled along a serene snow-laden trail in a tranquil forest clearing, Apukka Resort, though seemingly secluded, is conveniently only a short drive from Santa Claus Village and Rovaniemi International Airport. The dedicated staff ensure an array of excursions are always all day long, from snowmobile tours and horse-drawn sleigh rides to private sauna sessions and guided snowshoe hikes.

The accommodation options include the Aurora Cabins, notable for their Scandinavian design, which boast full heating and en-suite facilities. Nestled away from the main resort, these cabins strategically position guests to embrace the Arctic night, offering optimal views of the mesmerizing Northern Lights.

Introducing the newly unveiled Lappish Kammi Suites—a harmonious blend of authenticity, ecological consciousness, and historical narratives. These rooms seamlessly merge age-old traditions with contemporary Finnish innovation. For those seeking more space, the Lappish Kammi Family Suites provide two bedrooms and a generously sized living area.

The resort’s Ice Log Cottages offer a local interpretation of the classic ice hotel design, incorporating the simplicity and sturdiness of Finnish log cabins. Similar to traditional snow and ice hotels, guests will rest on a block of ice, wrapped in Arctic-performance sleeping bags and the comforting warmth of reindeer hides.

Enter the Aurora Wagons, four mobile carriages complete with heating, double beds, and kitchenettes. Guests have the unique opportunity to spend a night in these wagons at various picturesque locations, from frozen lakes to snowy hilltops—each an ideal setting to witness the dazzling displays of the Northern Lights.

For those preferring a more conventional stay, the resort provides an array of stylish rooms, suites, and apartments. Equipped with flat-screen TVs and complimentary WiFi, these accommodations are ideal for extended stays, ensuring both comfort and modern amenities.

Although dining may not be the primary focus of this resort, Apukka Café on-site fills the culinary gap, providing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an assortment of snacks. The cuisine is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced from the nearby lakes and forests.
