Lapland and Helsinki

Four Arctic nights, three city nights, one gala.

Closing gala

The idea

The whole group travels on the same days, in the same order. Lapland comes first, while energy is high and the days are spent outdoors. Helsinki follows, with the city, the sea and the gala.

In Lapland the base is Arcora, a new boutique resort of suites and villas on the edge of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, in Finland's strongest aurora zone. In Helsinki each guest builds their own days in a personal online portal before departure.

Day 1

Arrival in Lapland

Flight to Kittilä and a private transfer of 65 km to the resort. Winter clothing waits in each room. Dinner at the resort restaurant.

A day of choice

Guests choose between a husky safari, a snowmobile expedition, a reindeer visit and snowshoeing in the national park, in small groups. A private evening at the Arctic sauna world: five themed saunas and ice swimming by the lake.

Day 3

Signature Northern Lights

Another activity day, then an evening in the wilderness: open fire, blankets and stories, and the aurora if the sky allows. The evening works without it too.

Day 4

Last Arctic evening

A fourth activity in small groups, the spa, and the eight-course signature dinner.
