Arctic Nature Adventure
-The detailed schedule will be adjusted per your wishes.
Walk on frozen lake Vanttausjärvi under the starry arctic sky, build a fire, enjoy log sauna and a farmhouse dinner
What do we do?
Upon arriving at Lapland Deluxe, we'll show you around the estate and share stories of its fascinating historical chapters.
After the introduction, we'll strap on snowshoes and head out on the frozen Lake Vanttausjärvi right outside our door. The excursion is carried out in a quiet pace to leave room for thoughts and feelings under the glittering arctic sky.
We'll take it easy and enjoy the white stillness and breathe the clean, fresh winter air. And who knows, if we're lucky, we might even see the Northern Lights! The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon which we can´t control, therefore there are no quarantees for them to always been seen. Sometimes they are brighter and can be easily seen, and their visibility depends on many factors, such as space weather and cloudiness. So, when you see the Northern Lights it is a unique experience.
Back on land, we'll build a fire together; in case you're not
familiar with the activity, we're happy to show you how it's done. Once
we get it going, we'll roast snacks and enjoy conversation - or just sit
still and relax staring at the fire and listening to the silent nature
around us.
You'll be safely guided during all activities. Throughout your time with us, we'll gladly tell you stories and share information on nature, our way of life and the history of the farmhouse and the estate.
