Against an Arctic backdrop, clients of Audley can now enjoy the classic experiences that have made Lapland famous, from gliding across the snow by husky sled, to meeting Santa at his workshop, however clients will also be introduced to a lesser-known side of the region.
Sample itineraries include:
– A Winter Adventure: Clients will have the chance to experience a trip above the Arctic Circle, staying in a private glass igloo, before enjoying the thrill of gliding across the fells by husky sled. Highlights include watching the northern lights form across the winter sky from a secluded aurora hut, and learning about Sámi culture whilst helping feed their herd of reindeer. There is also an opportunity to step into a pair of snowshoes and grab some poles for a peaceful, guided, nature walk through the Arctic wilderness.
– A Festive Family Trip: As part of this tailor-made trip, families are invited to step into a real-life winter wonderland. This festive adventure includes meeting Santa Claus, gliding through snowy forests on a husky sled, exploring the Arctic wilderness by snowmobile, and enjoying a traditional reindeer sleigh ride. Highlights include staying in a private two-bedroom cabin with sauna, beneath clear skies - perfect for northern lights viewing, meeting Lapland's iconic reindeer during an encounter on a traditional family-run farm, and children having the chance to drive their own mini snowmobile through the snow-covered forest.
– A Luxury Winter Escape: As part of a bespoke, luxury winter escape, clients will stay in a star-gazing-friendly glass-roofed igloo, complete with hot tub and champagne on arrival. In Levi, a privately guided snowmobile safari under the northern lights is a trip highlight offering the chance to spot wild reindeer and enjoy panoramic views from the summit, as well as being glided through snowy forests by husky sled. Evenings can be spent in a traditional Finnish sauna, as part of an Arctic wellness experience in an outdoor forest spa, set within Lapland’s pristine snowy wilderness, followed by fine-dining under the night sky.
