Iso Syote & the Aurora View Suites

After arriving in Rovaniemi pick up your shared transfer to Iso-Syote and check in to the Arctic Hilltop Boutique Hotel. This particular itinerary is based on an Aurora View Suite but there are also the options of some upgrade suites or the stay in the more rustic Kelo Cottages!

Spend the evening relaxing and enjoying your new surroundings – perhaps even spotting the Northern Lights from your balcony, or from the hot tub!

This morning you will be transferred to a husky farm where you get to meet some very eager dogs. Here you will be introduced to the team and briefed before embarking on a husky sledge ride.

The safari route is a winter wonderland, winding through snowy forests and skimming across ice-covered lakes that glisten like diamonds under the Arctic sun. Along the way, pit stops offer the chance to switch drivers, ensuring everyone can command these furry speedsters while creating picture-perfect moments amidst this breathtaking landscape. Don’t forget your camera – those huskies and the stunning surroundings practically beg to be captured in all their snowy glory!

Then an evening snowmobile safari brings in a unique thrill as you speed through snowy forests and across the fells under the twinkling stars. Pausing along the way, you’re treated to star-gazing moments and keeping a keen eye out for the Northern Lights. A cosy coffee break awaits by a crackling campfire, adding warmth to the adventure. And if luck is on your side, the Northern Lights might may make a dazzling appearance, turning this already magical journey into an unforgettable spectacle.

Today’s adventure kicks off right from the hotel, where a row of snowmobiles awaits eager riders. The thrilling track leads downhill, then winds its way through snow-laden forests, skirting ice-covered swamps and lakes. Along the journey, a delightful pause is made for a fireside coffee break, adding a cosy touch to the snowy escapade. With refreshed spirits, it’s back on the snowmobiles, this time revving up for the exhilarating ascent back up the Iso Syöte hill, concluding the expedition with an adrenaline-fueled ride.

After the thrilling adventure of exploring the wintry landscapes, returning to the hotel is a welcoming sight. The cosy confines offer a perfect sanctuary to unwind and thaw out from the exhilarating ride. You have the option to indulge in the luxurious spa facilities, letting the warmth of the sauna or a pampering massage melt away any lingering cold. Otherwise, you can enjoy a soak in the hot tub and a sauna back in your room – a perfect way to end a day of adventure, soothing both body and soul in the lap of luxury.

Your Aurora View Suite will again become your perfect spot for looking out for the Northern Lights.

As your final morning at the property approaches, consider whether you’d like to go on another excursion or simply take some time to relax.
