New Year break in Lapland at the Old Pine Husky Lodge - 4 Days

We welcome you at the Kemi railway station or at the Kemi-Tornio (KEM) airport. Transfer in a private vehicle (30-45 mins) to our Old Pine Husky Lodge. This rustic lodge lies within a beautiful tall pine forest and is built in a historic farmhouse setting. You will stay in a double or family room. The lodge has a total of 6 rooms, and a cosy hall where you can relax and make coffee while you wait for the Northern Lights. A fridge, freezer and microwave oven are available. Toilets, sauna and showers are located in a separate building, around 30 meters away. Our husky farm is just a few steps away, and you will be able to live like a musher during your stay, taking care of the dogs and petting them and playing with them as they deserve.
Upon arrival we will serve you dinner in our Husky Café Pizzeria, an authentic Italian place in the heart of Lapland. We also serve typical Lappish fare, which you will be able to taste the next day.
After dinner, given the right conditions, we can look for northern lights in the magical pine forest. You may use our wood-heated kota to warm up if you feel cold. Upon need, overalls and shoes are available for rental.

A buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant. Afterwards, we will enjoy a husky sled safari. The length of the route may vary according to snow and ice conditions. At the end of the safari, you can take a lunch break (lunch is not included) in our restaurant, or simply have coffee in the kota. You can always help with the dogs who will surely appreciate. There are opportunities to rent snowshoes or do a guided walk nearby.
As it gets dark, you can relax in our wonderful old-style sauna, heated only by wood, and follow with a fantastic wellness experience in one of our hot tubs. Do not forget to bring your swimsuit, an essential in Lapland. Dinner with typical Lappish fare will be served in the restaurant, and we can try chase the northern lights.

After breakfast, we drive you to Arkadia Farm (around 50 minutes) a real reindeer farm, run by a local family and located in the municipality of Simo. You can get to know these wonderful animals and learn everything about their life. You can feed them lychens, and (for a little extra fee) try a short round on a sled. Later, we can have coffee or a hot drink and cake in the wonderful wood-fired kota.
In the afternoon, we will visit Kemi, its old harbour and try, upon the right conditions, a walk on the frozen sea. Optionally, you can visit Snowcastle 365, (entrance fee not included). Later on we drive back to the lodge, where you can relax and perhaps help with the dogs – they will be grateful as usual! Our sauna will be ready by 5 pm, and dinner a couple of hours later. Our last chance to see the Northern Lights awaits afterwards.

Breakfast. Transfer to Kemi – (around 45 minutes). End of the tour.
