Welcome to Finland. On arrival in Rovaniemi, a private transfer will take you to the hotel. The rest of your first night in Lapland is at leisure, or if you have time you could book some of the available optional activities.

Overnight: Rovaniemi

Day 2 - Husky Sleigh Ride

Today, at 9:15, head to the local kennels for your included 10km husky sleigh ride. Before departing, you'll meet the friendly huskies and learn how to control the sleds. As you head out into the wilderness, take turns to stand behind the sleigh and control it (the musher), and sit on the sleigh (the passenger). After the adventure, relax with a hot drink back at the kennels.

The rest of the day is at leisure - consider booking some of the available optional excursions.

The first part of today is free to relax and enjoy some of the available optional excursions. Later, check out from the hotel for your transfer to your glass igloo, home for the next two nights. With glass ceilings facing north, you have the chance to spot the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed, and an Aurora Alarm will wake you up in the night should they appear, ensuring you don't miss a thing (you can turn it off if you prefer to sleep through, but we don't recommend it!).

In the evening, enjoy an included three course dinner at the onsite restaurant, where you can try a range of Lappish and Finnish cuisine.
