Day 3 » Optional activities
Today is left entirely free for you to choose your own activities. Maybe try cross-country skiing, or prepare lunch at the wilderness cooking school. Then, in the evening, why not enjoy a Northern Lights snowshoe adventure? This optional trip is one of our favourites, as you head out with your guide into the wilderness to a nearby camp-fire where your efforts are rewarded with a hot drink and snack, whilst you keep an eye out for the aurora above. We picked Harriniva as one of the best places to see the Northern Lights this winter and, if you catch them, it's easy to see why.

Day 4 » Snowmobile safari
You'll have free time in the morning to go skiing on your own or try an optional excursion. Meet your snowmobile instructor in the afternoon for a classic Lapland activity: a snowmobile safari. Glide on snow and ice through forests draped with white and over deep frozen lakes. The safari is suitable for complete beginners but a valid driving license is required to drive the snowmobiles. Children are pulled on a sled behind the guide.
