2 Aurora Hiking

A VIEW FROM THE FOREST

There is a good chance to view the Northern Lights from your glass igloo if you are staying in Finland's Arctic SnowHotel but there is nothing like going outdoors for a hike and seeing them from the natural surroundings of a forest. After a short drive with a guide, you go for an easy walk in the woods and have a break around a campfire to have some snacks and hot drinks. Even if there are no lights visible, this is a wonderful excursion.

No trip to Finland is complete without trying a sauna where ever you are staying in this beautiful country and you shouldn't miss out on this exhilarating experience or the chance to relax in an outdoor hot tub. But this night walk in a forest can really put the icing on the cake of your Scandinavian adventure and is proving one of the most popular trips with visitors all the year round.

During the safari plenty of stops are made along the way so you can take in the beautiful lake views. This trip is an especially great option for visitors who have never tried electric snowmobiling.

Traditional motorised snowmobiles can be noisy and although they are a great way to explore snow-covered landscapes the experience can be spoiled by the roar of the engines in the quiet forests.
