New Year’s Celebrations in the heart of Lapland

Lapland (Finland)

New Year's Eve in a family atmosphere in the magic of true northern Lapland. Live a dream with your eyes wide open under the northern lights.

In a log cabin, in the middle of a forest of snow-white pines and birches, on the banks of the mythical River of Gold, Ivalojoki, with its meandering paths through wide open spaces, is a dream place to spend the festive season and set off on a winter adventure! It’s also the perfect place to watch the Northern Lights under a sky of a thousand and one stars, far from civilisation and … close to the Summit of the World! This is the chalet for adventurers, groups or families looking to immerse themselves in another universe, listen to the silence but also experience the adventure of a lifetime in complete authenticity and cultural immersion. All this in the intimacy of an unspoilt nature.

It's your mindset and desire to explore that will be your main driving force.
With the assistance of your guide, you will quickly gain confidence to navigate the Arctic environment safely.

However, the level of effort may vary depending on the type of trip. As specified in each itinerary, we have different levels to consider according to your preferences and physical condition.

Effort Level 1: Serenity
An experience that requires minimal effort and no specific skills, with a small group of like-minded travelers. It may involve walking a short distance or simply immersing yourself in cultural and wellness activities. The key is to immerse yourself in the ambiance and nature!

Effort Level 2: Discovery
This is a mini-adventure with activities that do not require technical skills but involve some physical effort. It is suitable for anyone who engages in regular physical activity, capable of walking and moving for several hours at a time. Your desire to discover new activities in the magical world of Lapland will be your most important tool.
