Take a seat in the heated Aurora sleigh and relax as your guide tows the sleigh with a snowmobile through the snow-covered forest and across the frozen lake. Enjoy the journey away from light pollution while staying warm and comfortable.

During breaks, you can sit on comfortable reindeer hides while sipping hot drinks. Watch as the Northern Lights ripple in waves across the sky. 

Enhance your adventure with an optional open fire dinner. If you choose this option your Aurora trip will be divided into two parts with a delicious, traditional meal enjoyed by the fire in a Lappish tipi in between.

For an added touch of Finnish tradition, you can also opt for a tent sauna, complete with the exciting option for ice swimming.
