Itinerary Inspiration

Day 1

Northern Lights Lodge

Fly to Swedish Lapland where on arrival you will be transferred to the exclusive Máttaráhkká Northern Lights Lodge, run by Andreas Mikko. This wonderful Lodge is situated with far-reaching views towards the Abisko Alps and with only seven rooms it has a ‘home away from home’ feel with excellent activities right from the doorstep.

One of the team will subsequently run through your itinerary and kit you out with your complimentary arctic clothing.

You then have a couple of hours to either relax or try your hand at cross country skiing or snow shoe walking on the picturesque trails behind the Lodge.

Northern Lights Snowmobile Chase

After dinner a guide will take you out on snowmobiles into the dark arctic night to a place where there is zero light pollution. You will be surrounded by mountains that are rising like mysterious shadows towards the night sky and drive the snowmobile through the snow-covered landscape with the stars above you. Make a few stops along the way for a hot drink and wait for the northern lights to show up and dance above you in the night sky. At the top of Mt. Ednavaara you have a 360-degree view over the mountain ranges around you.

Day 2

Snowmobiling Trip and Northern Lights Hot Tub

Enjoy a full day on unique and well-executed snowmobile safaris cruising around Lapland.

By snowmobile, we take us above the tree line up to the top of Lapland viewpoint,. We try out some traditional ice fishing during the time to make some coffee over the crackling fire and have some Swedish Fika. Back at the lodge, we serve a 2-course lunch from the local kitchen.

What would be a great way to enjoy one of nature’s most amazing wonders – the Northern Lights? Well, in a hot tub on a rooftop with a 360° view over the night sky!

Day 3

After Breakfast, transfer to Abisko, around a one hour journey. Check into Abisko Mountain Lodge, owned by Mina and Dick Johansson, and be issued with your Arctic clothing for the rest of your northern lights holiday. You can spend the afternoon exploring the surrounding area before enjoying some fantastic cuisine at the property.

You will then head out on the famous Ultimate Aurora Photography Tour which will not only teach you how to take photos of the northern lights, but also head out on a chase to try and find them for you.

Day 4

After breakfast you can head out on a morning hike getting to really know the area you are based in before then stopping back at the lodge for some lunch. Take the afternoon to relax and perhaps have a sauna before having dinner on your final evening – fingers crossed the aurora will make an appearance too!

Day 5

Your driver will then take you to the airport for your flight home, or alternatively, why not extend your northern lights holiday and see Stockholm, or spend a night at the world famous Icehotel.
