OUR REPORTER NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE!

This week Jules travelled with one of our tour operator partners and Finnair to the far north of Finnish Lapland to see some amazing new wilderness lodges and glass igloos.

A full blog will follow in the next few weeks, but here Jules shows us some of the fun and exciting activities we can book for you in Lapland  Click here for some EXCLUSIVE LAPLAND OFFERS we have for you following this exploratory trip! 

High on most peoples travel bucket lists is to see the Northern Lights - we were lucky to see them on our second night from Inari Wilderness Lodge which is a newly opened hotel in a stunning location on the shores of a huge frozen lake (with ice a metre deep and around the same size as Belgium!). 

ARCTIC ADVENTURES WITH THE LOCALS!

At Lake Inari we had a beautiful cloudless day on snow mobiles where we enjoyed endless white vistas before entering the forest to build a fire and try some ice fishing!  We had a morning in Inari town itself (which is tiny!) and visited 'SIIDA' the Sami Museum and Nature Centre and a lovely lunch in an award winning historical hotel.  Across the frozen lake in the dark we set up camp and watched the night sky as the streaks of the Northern Lights started to appear... later that night we were treated to the Aurora overhead at the hotel!
