Northern Light & Ice Hotel Tour

Flights, arrival and transfers. You will be greeted at Kiruna airport and transferred to your mountain lodge accommodation in Abisko overnight stay.

You will head out onto the frozen surface of beautiful Lake Tornetrask just a short distance from the lodge. You will drill a hole in the thick ice, sit on a warm reindeer skin and wait for the fish to bite. Arctic char, grayling and trout can all be found in these cool waters. This evening you will head off with your guides on a gently paced snowshoe hike. Your guide will tell you about the Northern Lights and hopefully you will be able to see them first hand, shimmering and dancing across the skies.

After breakfast you will get to experience the king of all Arctic activities, dog sledding. You will be given full instruction and a safety briefing before you take control of your team of huskies. The dogs love to run and you will head out on the trail for two hours, the ideal introduction to this fabulous form of transport! This afternoon is free for you to relax. As this will be your last night in Abisko you will be treated to the full Lappish menu serving many delicacies.

This morning it is time to wave good bye to Abisko and head back towards the town of Kiruna. En route however you stop at the home of Nils-Anders Kuhmunen and his family. They will take you through the lives of the Sámi reindeer herders and explain the importance of reindeer in the culture of the region. You will get to see the everyday work at the homestead and also see reindeer up close. The journey then continues to Jukkasjarvi, home of the world famous ICEHOTEL. You will arrive in the afternoon and be given a full guided tour of the site, the ice suites and the ice factory. You can have dinner at one of the warm restaurants (not included)and will spend the night in the cosy warm accommodation. If you would like to stay in the cold accommodation then we can arrange this for you. Overnight in Kiruna.

Post breakfast transfer to Kiruna Airport.
