Winter In Luosto

DAY 1: To Finnish Lapland

Depending on your choice of airline and airport, there is the opportunity to fly direct to Rovaniemi. On arrival, leave behind the commercial heartland of Finnish Lapland and head to Luosto by airport shuttle bus, just 90 minutes away. Luosto is an idyllic village located in the heart of the Phyä-Luosto National Park. Check-in to your chosen hotel, familiarise yourself with your surroundings.  Enjoy an early dinner before the first foray into the Arctic surroundings and an exciting hunt for the Northern Lights. We have included a Search for the Northern Lights by Snowshoe excursion. This easy to master art allows you to head with your guide into the unspoilt country-side to find the best spot from where, if conditions are right, you can view the Northern Lights. It is a delightful introduction to the region, best suited for adults and children over 12, so if this does not suit your agenda, we can look at alternative options for you. Supplements may apply.

DAYS 2-5 Choose your activity
Luosto provides so many opportunities for excursions. We have picked our favourites and listed them on the opposite page, which then enables you to choose the activities that tick your bucket list. Select from snowmobile safaris, reindeer encounters and thrilling husky rides. Take the ‘snow train’ to the Amethyst mine for incredible views and the chance to unearth your lucky stone or enjoy the simple arctic past-times of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. In the evenings you can just enjoy dinner and relax or head out in search of the Northern Lights. There is always the option of the nearby ski-slopes too with seven runs  and a sledging hill. Don’t forget the option of upgrading to an Arctic View Glass Igloo for a night.

DAY 5 UK
Enjoy an early breakfast, check-out with your suitcase of memories, before taking the airport shuttle bus back to Rovaniemi in time for your return flight home.
