About
Recommended for:
January holidays | Natural world | Northern Lights | Off the beaten track | Short break | Winter
This short break to Finnish Lapland starts in typical Scandinavian style with an overnight stay at Levin Iglut, a collection of glass igloos surrounded by stunning Arctic scenery. These secluded, heated domes, perched on the edge of a fell, offer private views of the Northern Lights and the snow-dusted forests of Finland's far north. You'll then head for the cosy comforts of Hotel Ylläshumina for three days of winter activities; there's everything from husky sledding and snowmobiling to delicious wilderness dinners.
