Romantic Weekend in Saariselkä

Three nights in Saariselkä, designed for couples who want a short but well-rounded Arctic stay. Based at Aurora Queen Resort, a boutique glass igloo property tucked into a quiet forest near the fells, the itinerary opens with a private fireside evening on arrival and moves through a snowmobile safari, a northern lights hunt, and a husky safari across the following days. A private sauna and outdoor jacuzzi session at the resort rounds off the stay before departure. Breakfast and à la carte dinner are included throughout, and the glass ceiling of your igloo gives you every chance of catching the aurora from bed. A natural fit for a honeymoon, an anniversary, or any trip that calls for something a little more considered.

Your Tailored Itinerary

Fire and the First Night

You'll land at Ivalo Airport and collect your winter clothing before transferring to Aurora Queen Resort, a forest property with panoramic glass igloos set close to the Saariselkä fells. Check into your Aurora Igloo, with its fully glass ceiling and plush interiors, and settle in before dinner at the resort's intimate restaurant. After dinner, step outside to the resort's private laavu, a traditional open-air fireside shelter, where champagne and the quiet of the Arctic night make for an unhurried welcome to Lapland. With minimal light pollution and clear skies, there is every chance the northern lights will make an appearance above the fire.

Snowmobiles and the Night Sky

In the evening, a group northern lights hunt sets off by minivan, with a professional guide adjusting the route throughout the night to follow the clearest skies. Dinner is included at the resort before heading out.

Huskies and a Private Sauna

The morning starts at a local husky farm for a 10km group sled run through the surrounding forest, with time to meet the dogs before setting off. In the afternoon, a two-hour private sauna session at the resort awaits, with an outdoor jacuzzi powered by geothermal heat, towels, bathrobes, and mineral water included. A quiet and restorative way to spend the last full afternoon before dinner at the restaurant.
