We Love —
- Marvelling at the breathtaking landscapes, from frozen lakes and majestic forests to rolling hills blanketed in snow.
- Enjoying a scenic train journey, as you gaze out at the sparkling snow covering the trees, and the distant mountains, all while keeping warm in the cosy, heated train carriage.
- Retreating to your beautiful suite after a day in the snow, and looking up through its glass roof - if you're lucky, catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Snow Train to Northern Lights Camp: 10th November 2025 – 05th April 2026 —
Take a ride through a winter wonderland in a warm carriage of the famous Snow Train. In search of the Northern Lights, you'll set off into the wilderness, far from artificial light.
You cross magnificent snow-covered landscapes and reach a traditional Lappish "kota", a hut deep in the wilderness. You will gather around a campfire and enjoy light snacks and hot drinks. Our guide will help you set up your camera to best capture the Northern Lights.
This tour focuses entirely on the Northern Lights, but you'll also enjoy the beauty of the snow-covered forest, the darkness and the silence. As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, no one can guarantee a 100% sighting, but this excursion is an excellent opportunity.

Rovaniemi —
Rovaniemi is the capital city of Lapland in northern Finland, and is known as the 'official hometown of Santa Claus'. Home to Santa Claus Village, a year-round Christmas-themed attraction, this is heaven on earth for festive fanatics. Breathe in the purest air in Europe and dive into a country where 70% of the territory is covered with forest areas - this is a true escape from the everyday.
Thanks to the city’s proximity to the Arctic Circle (just 6km away), the city is the perfect place for a magical wintry escape. Catch the incredible spectacle of the Northern Lights, and explore the Arctic Circle Hiking Area, a diverse trail network where you can admire rapids and aapa mires, a complex landscape of wetlands.
Besides the Christmas festivities, Rovaniemi is also a great springboard from which to explore the Ranua Wildlife Park and the Arkitikum Science Museum. While you might have a spectacular winter break in mind, the summer is the time to experience the unique spectacle of the Midnight Sun - between the 6th June-7th July, the sun never falls below the horizon, meaning even more time for activities like horse riding, hiking, and jet skiing!
