Winter Escape Across Ylläs and Levi

Seven nights split between two of Finnish Lapland's most celebrated destinations, with one activity per day and plenty of time to rest in between. You'll spend the first four nights at Arctic Skylight Lodge in Ylläs, a boutique property set away from the village lights with glass-ceiling cabins designed for northern lights viewing. The final three nights move to Levin Iglut in Levi, where superior igloos and a glass restaurant round off the trip in style. The pace is easy throughout, the accommodation is chosen with the night sky in mind, and the activities cover the best of a Lapland winter, making this a comfortable and well-considered escape for couples or small groups.
