Northern Lights - Huskies - Rovaniemi - Santa Village

Departure Sundays: Nov 24, 2008 - Apr 18, 2009

 Pyhä-Luosto is an area comprised of two fell resorts in the middle of Finnish Lapland (only 90 minutes from the

 Arctic Circle and 3 hours from the Sampo Ice-Breaker) with excellent facilities and well organized activity services.

 Modern hotels, spa facilities, cozy log cabins, well groomed downhill and cross country ski slopes and tracks,

 outdoor fun and adventure rounded off with fine wine and cuisine, all combine to ensure a successful holiday.

 

 The Aurora Chalet offers you the most wonderful safari experiences under the Northern Lights, from an exhilarating

 snowmobile safari,  to a husky or reindeer safari leading you into the silent heart of the wilderness, closer to nature

 than ever.

 At Pyhä-Luosto, you can be active all year round. The winter in Pyhä-Luosto offers skiing, visits to Pyhä-Luosto

 Husky and Reindeer Park and the Amethyst Mine (the only one in whole Europe which welcomes visitors), snow-

 mobile, reindeer and husky safaris in the snowy forest and snowshoe hikes to the untouched fell slopes. All of these

 and many more wonderful experiences which soon transport you away from routine of daily life.

 In the winter, Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, is a city of snow and the Northern Lights. It is also called the

 Christmas City. Some of the famous highlights are the Church, the Arktikum Museum, Santa Claus Village in the

 heart of the Arctic Circle. Participate in the ceremony of crossing the Arctic Circle, meet Santa at his office and

 leave your Christmas greetings with the elves at Santa Claus' spectacular Main Post Office, located in Santa Village.

 Nature, culture, and Christmas weave their spell over you - feel the magic and joy of Christmas wherever you go.
