Northern Lights short break, Finnish Lapland

Description of Northern Lights short break, Finnish Lapland

This Northern Lights short break holiday takes place in Finnish Lapland, during the months when the stunning sights of the Lights, otherwise known as the Aurora Borealis, are most likely to appear. This natural phenomenon is most likely to happen between September-October and then again between February-March.

When the Lights appear in these stunning snow covered landscapes of northern Finland, and when the conditions are clear, you may be lucky enough to see them up to three out of four nights on this trip. Lake Inari, where we are based at a hotel on its south eastern shores, proffers the perfect frozen landscape to reflect the world’s greatest lightshow when it appears.

It is also an area steep in traditional Sami culture, which is why we are also able to offer plenty of winter activities that tie in with this heritage. And to keep you busy as you wait for the Lights to appear, as the best time is two hours either side of midnight. Such as snowshoeing or cross country skiing on tracks around the lake or through remote forests. Watching the Lights from wonderful Aurora Bubbles, ice fishing on the lake followed by open fires under the winter sky. And last but not least, going on a husky sled ride through snow laden forests. And of course, the obligatory sauna, followed by running through the snow for those who dare.

The price of this holiday includes: Accommodation in hotel for two nights and Aurora Bubble for one night, all meals, winter outer clothing, airport transfers to and from Ivali.
