A captivating rural Lapland getaway with an optional lakeside glass igloo stay - includes breakfast, flights, car hire, optional transfers & more
In Finnish Lapland, the arrival of spring, summer, and autumn transforms the landscape into a vibrant playground of natural beauty, offering an unforgettable adventure. Spend your days amidst emerald forests, sparkling lakes, and beautiful Arctic landscapes. Your rural retreat provides plenty of chances to get out into this outdoor paradise, and with the option to spend the last night of your getaway in a cosy glass igloo on the shores of Lake Ranuanjärvi, you can truly immerse yourself within the Nordic wilderness. As you watch the sun go down on your last night in Lapland, imagine going to sleep beneath a sky full of stars as you relax within the warmth of your stylish igloo.
This northern part of Lapland offers a breathtaking escape. You'll be staying near the Ranua Wildlife Park, home to over 50 Arctic species, including Arctic foxes, owls, otters, lynxes, and many more. The park also cares for brown bears and Finland’s only polar bear - all of whom will have started to come out of hibernation during the warmer months. With park entry included, you can explore its vast expanse in hopes of encountering these fascinating creatures.
You'll have the freedom to pick up a car and explore the endless Lappish wilderness at your own pace, alongside a plethora of optional excursions to choose from. Discover hidden gems like the Vikaköngäs nature trail, where the peaceful sounds of rushing water surround you. For those seeking a bit of magic, witness the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis or a midnight sun horse-drawn carriage ride will leave you in wonder. Summer brings the opportunity to visit reindeer farms, where you can learn about the region’s iconic animals, and so much more. The vastness of Lapland is waiting for you to uncover its secrets.
