With its long winters and dark Arctic nights, Finnish Lapland is one of the best places on earth to see the Northern Lights, with the region around Levi providing some of the very best locations to view the aurora’s kaleidoscopic spectacle. On this short break you’ll spend three memorable nights at the all-new Northern Lights Ranch, tucked away well within the Arctic Circle and far from any light pollution. You'll experience the very best winter activities including husky sledding and the option of reindeer safaris and much more.

Day 1 » Fly to Kittila
Board a flight out to Kittilä and transfer to the Northern Lights Ranch, some 200km within the Arctic Circle. Alongside the Ranch's restaurant serving only the finest seasonable ingredients showcased across hard-to-choose-between menus, at this remote hotel, you’ll be able to sleep under the stars, with the night sky and its dancing Northern-Lights displays invited in by spectacular glass-roofed cabins. This evening you'll enjoy a sumptuous dinner before returning to your chic cabin for your first night under the arctic skies.

Day 2 » Husky sledding
Feeling well rested, you’ll head down for a hearty breakfast, before the real adventure begins with an included husky safari. You'll start by transferring to a small authentic husky farm, before heading into the wilderness lead by trained husky dogs on an approximately 10 km route. The dog sled is shared by two people who can take turns driving the sled whilst the other sits back and enjoys the thrilling ride and magical scenery. Return to the farm for hot drinks and a chance to visit the kennels and learn more about the lives of these friendly animals.
Spend your afternoon at leisure with the chance to explore the resort or return to the wild on another adventure. Then, as night descends, you’ll return to the ranch to enjoy a delicious dinner of Nordic delicacies as you wait for the Lights to appear. Speak to our specialists if you wish to head out on an optional aurora hunt.

Day 3 » Day at leisure at Northern Lights Ranch
With a full day free, you’ll have time to head out from the ranch to explore its glorious surroundings. Gripped by winter’s chill, the region’s forests are dusted with snow, making for wonderfully scenic views as you take to the frozen trails. We recommend arranging extra optional excursions, with everything from snowmobiling to a visit to a local reindeer farm. You could also make use of the complimentary snow shoes, perfect for the resort's own 2km snow shoe track. If there's time, enjoy the illuminated ice-skating rink with complimentary use of skates during wintertime.
Come the evening, enjoy an open bonfire in the hotel's grounds, admiring the beautiful scenery while enjoying hot drinks before it's time for your last 3-course dinner in the ranch restaurant. Keep an eye out for the aurora from your glass-roofed cabin tonight as you enjoy a final night in the arctic wilderness.
