With opportunities to feed reindeer, explore snowy landscapes, and relax by warm campfires, this trip offers unforgettable experiences for the whole family.

Day 1 – Arrive to Ivalo and transfer to the Aurora Village

Fly to Ivalo and transfer to Aurora Village. Upon arrival, you will receive your program schedule before dinner. Depending on your arrival time, cold weather gear is given to you either upon arrival or the next day.

Day 2 – Husky Sledding and Handicraft Workshop

After breakfast, transfer to the husky farm where you will head out on a 1-hour Husky Safari. You will be taught how to handle the sled before heading out on the husky safari, where the huskies will pull your sled through the beautiful winter scenery. The safari will end with hot drinks around a bonfire in a Lappish style hut.

Today you also get a chance to participate in an Arctic Handicraft Workshop, suited for the whole family. Together with a local instructor, make your own souvenir from a selection of traditional responsibly sourced materials like reindeer antlers and leather as a base. Let your imagination wander and create a piece of art that you can take home with you!

In the afternoon, you will be taken for a sleigh ride through the snowy forest, up on the highest hill with amazing scenery. The guides will help you to prepare your own crepes by the open fire, before heading for a 1.5km long fun toboggan run down a scenic sliding trail.
