After breakfast at your hotel, take a one-hour road transfer to Ranua Wildlife Zoo. Walk along the forest trails to spot polar bears, lynxes, Arctic foxes, reindeer, and moose in spacious outdoor habitats, and visit the conservation exhibition centre. Return to Rovaniemi for some leisure time. In the evening, join a local guide away from city lights for a Northern Lights quest, warming up around a campfire with hot drinks and dinner.

Next, meet energetic huskies and take an exciting sled ride across the trails. Spend the rest of the day shopping or relaxing before returning to Rovaniemi for the night.

Start the day with breakfast and check out from your town hotel. Transfer to a glass igloo resort situated in a secluded area away from urban lights. Check in to your heated glass-roofed igloo equipped with modern comforts and a private bathroom. Spend a quiet afternoon taking in the Arctic surroundings. At night, lie back beneath the glass dome to watch the starry sky and look out for the northern lights from your bed. Overnight in the glass igloo in Rovaniemi.
