Day 1: Welcome to Kiruna, Lapland
Arrive at Kiruna airport, where you are met and greeted. After collecting your luggage you will receive warm overclothes and boots to protect you from the cold on your first arctic adventure. Just outside the airport your transport awaits, a dogsled team which will take you for an exiting ride through the wides and the plains towards the Icehotel. This gives you the perfect photo opportunity, while starting your break in true Lappish style. The Icehotel is made entirely out of snow and ice blocks taken from the Torne River. Every year the hotel melts during the summer and is rebuilt when winter sets in. Upon arrival you will be taken on an informative tour where you will learn about the history of this special place and get handy information on how to get comfortable in your very own room sculpted out of ice. You will be sleeping on a bed made of ice, on top of reindeer skins. The temperature in the Icehotel is around -5°C to -8°C, but no worries, you receive a nice thermal sleeping bag which will keep you warm. 

Day 2: Quest for the Northern Lights
In the morning you will wake up to find a cup of hot traditional lingonberry juice served at your bedside. Once properly awake you can enjoy a hearty breakfast in the restaurant and warm up in the Icehotel’s sauna to prepare for today’s adventures. You have the whole day to explore the area around the Icehotel and the frozen river Torne, located a stone´s throw from the ICEHOTEL. In the evening, you will be picked up at taken on a journey into the wild to explore the amazing Northern Lights on a guided snowmobile trip. After a delicious dinner you head into the night again and return to your warm hotel. For the next two nights you will be staying in a warm room at Kebne hotel or similar in Kiruna. * Please note that the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are a natural phenomenon and therefore a sighting cannot be guaranteed.

Day 3: Open Day
You have all day to explore the town of Kiruna, or take an optional excursion. For those who enjoyed the dogsled trip and want to learn how to drive a team of Huskies we have a special tour to recommend:

Meet the Sami, and visit a reindeer farm (3,5 hours)
This tour takes you to a Sami reindeer farm for a close encounter with Rudolph and his furry friends, followed by a traditional lunch in a Sami tent. Try your hand at driving a sled pulled by reindeer. At the farm you will get a special chance to learn about the daily lives and history of the Sami people, the native people of northern Scandinavia.

Drive your own team of Huskies (4 hours)
A skilled musher will pick you up at the hotel for a thrilling dogsled experience. You will learn to drive your own team of four Huskies through the breathtaking landscape of Lapland. Two persons share a dogsled. The dogs howl and pull at their harnesses to get moving; but as soon as the anchor is lifted, the dogs fall silent and eagerly start pulling the sled through the woods and over the plains. During the break, you will be served coffee and a light lunch while sitting around the campfire.

Day 4: Departure
Transfer to Kiruna airport. If you leave in the afternoon you might want to take some time to explore Kiruna on your own and do some last minute souvenir shopping.
