Day starts at 10.00
Expedition to the forest guided by our Forest elf
This funny little elf knows a lot about the power of forest. He helps you notice the wonders of the nature and tells stories about animals which live in Lapland. You have a chance to breathe the purest air in all Europe and you will feel the relaxing effect that walking in nature has. It is proven by The Natural Resources Institute Finland that 20 min in the forest lowers your blood pressure and has a good impact on your mood. On this tour you will see the free flowing River Ounasjoki, the birch trees on the riverbank, tall pine trees and spruces covered with beard moss and moist peat land with its unique plants.
Northern Lights relaxation
After the walk in the forest enjoy a relaxation exercise in a beautiful Northern Lights room. You will hear the story how these magical lights were born and experience a wonderfully relaxing moment.
