Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive into Rovaniemi airport and meet your shared transfer to Sunday Morning Resort. After checking in, spend the rest of the afternoon settling into your new accommodation for the next three nights. Inside your apartment you will have you own personal sauna so why not take some time out and relax before your 3-course dinner.
Day 2
Today the activities begin with a day of husky sledding, before an exciting arctic night safari. Experience the thrill of dog mushing in Lapland. At a local husky farm, you’ll be greeted by dozens of friendly huskies eager to embark on this journey with you. Learn the ins and outs of handling a husky team and mastering the art of driving a sled. With two persons per sleigh, one drives while the other enjoys the exhilarating ride through the wintry landscapes pulled by these magnificent huskies!
Don your safari gear for a remarkable evening in the serene wilderness. Led by your expert guide, escape the glow of city lights as you venture into vast, open spaces free from any light pollution. Here, under the vast Arctic sky, take in the tranquil beauty and keep your eyes peeled. With luck on your side, you might witness the ethereal spectacle of the Northern Lights painting the heavens.
Day 3
Explore the wonders of the Arctic with a nature safari, an opportunity to experience the thrill of snowmobiling. Glide along gentle tracks, allowing ample time to revel in the stunning Arctic landscapes as you navigate the route. Discover picture-perfect spots ideal for capturing breathtaking photos and pause to soak in the mesmerising scenery while indulging in comforting warm drinks.
And that’s not all! As the evening casts its enchanting hue, you can venture out for an exhilarating snowshoeing adventure. Trek through the snowy terrain, guided by experts, as you search for the elusive Aurora. Traverse the wintry landscapes under the star-studded sky, immersing yourself in the serene beauty of Lapland’s wilderness, and keep your eyes peeled for the dancing Northern Lights!

1. Gourmet Cabins was excellent and Johan was a friendly and knowledgeable host. The food, cabins, hot tub and sauna were brilliant.
2. Dog sledge was a fantastic experience and we were given the opportunity to drive our own sledge
3. Snow Mobile – really got off the beaten track and into the spectacular mountains
4. Saw the Northern Lights twice in two days. There is no description that can really do them justice
Nigel Longton
We had a wonderful time! The food at the lodge was amazing and there were some great vegetarian dishes. I had the best beetroot I’ve ever had (beetroot tartare).
Everyone was really friendly and all the guides were good fun and very knowledgeable.
A special thanks to William and Petri who were really friendly and really added a personal touch to our trip. The activities were really well planned and we especially enjoyed the trip with the huskies. The area we were in is stunning and the lodge was very nice. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family.
Fiona Green
We have never before experienced such friendly and simultaneously professional service! Alex’s communication was super prompt, questions encouraged and welcomed and attended to with great care and detail. Everything was well organised and available on beautifully designed and very useful platforms. Our destination (Mattarahkka Northern Lights Lodge) was fabulous on so many different levels – exquisite views, friendly interactions from everyone on the team, great food, exciting activities, perfectly situated to see the northern lights (seen twice in 4 nights’ stay), a great fire place, and not to mention our fantastic guide Fabio. Their provision of winter kit (hats, down jacket, snow trousers, leather gloves and boots) offered everything we needed to be comfortable outside. All we needed to have packed really were base layers, a few layers of clothing and woollen socks. Defintely somewhere we would highly recommend and return to when possible!
Inge Elliott
My daughter and I had an amazing time on our trip, we didn’t want it to end! Everything went according to plan, each excursion was well organized and everyone involved with each activity, as well as everyone at the lodge was kind, friendly, positive and happy, which makes such a difference to your whole experience. The food at The Abisko Mountain Lodge was also incredibly good. Our room was large, comfortable and well-furnished. The bathroom too was also spacious and well-equipped. The outdoor clothing provided was of very good quality which kept us warm, and the staff members are happy to change items if they are not quite the right size for you. This is my second trip with Weekend a la carte and I’m sure there will be more as I have complete trust in them. I highly recommend Aurora Nights, it was fabulous.

I appreciate the fast response to my inquiries regarding my trip. It would take decision making faster on my part, and plan my itinerary and activities being offered by the company accordingly.
Joey Emmanuel Serrina
Overall very good. Staff excellent and helpful. Accomodation basic but was what we expected. Tour guides very good (nature walks, snow mobiles, dog sleighs). Sky station disappointing as we never got to go up due to the weather and this seem to be a recurring feature.The alternative walk at night and meal was a let down as a result.Overall would recommend to others.
John Kirby
A fantastic short break which fulfilled all expectations. Well organised with a polished delivery, we could not have asked for more. The accommodation was perfect for us and the guides knowledgeable and helpful. Every day was packed with adventure, each lasting longer than scheduled but we were never rushed; the guides took pride in showing and explaining their beautiful country. We would certainly use Weekend a la carte again and recommend them to others.
Carol Mumford
Brilliant short break. Hotel Ranga was lovely, excellent food. Managed to see the Northern Lights as well! Iceland on the whole was quite expensive but a lovely place to visit, the people were very friendly.
