Meet with your guide in the reception and go on a cross country skiing tour. The tour starts from Kurravaara and you will ski along the ice on the river down streams. The open view is wonderful and the only thing you can hear is the wind and the sound from the skis on the dry snow. Other winter-tours are also available for those not interested in skiing.

Have a rest at your hotel in the afternoon.

Northern lights excursion by snowmobile in the evening with dinner included.
A fantastic outing in the Torne river valley. The snow is reflecting the moon and the stars. The head light from the snowmobile lights up the tracks we follow, as the trees cast long shadows out in to the darkness. When we stop and turn off the snowmobiles the silence is total. Then suddenly the sky bursts out in different colors, as the Northern light appear. A truly great experience.

Today you will experience the genuine native Sami culture. We visit a reindeer herder and take part in feeding the reindeer and maybe try catching them with a lasso. We might also try a short sled tour behind them! Around the fire in the hut you will be served a Lappish lunch while you listen and talk to the Sami family. It’s a very special atmosphere around the fire on the furs and the time seems to have stopped.

Afternoon is free for optional tours and winter activities.

We recommend you to take a drink in the bar at Ice Hotel – one of the greatest architectural structures and finest art galleries in the world. The hotel has been redesigned and rebuilt every year since 1990 using one of the purest materials on earth – water.
