Nature’s most spectacular light show is as mysterious as it is captivating, and catching sight of the elusive Northern Lights from Finland is especially unforgettable. Imagine a nocturnal adventure in the wilderness, riding a sleigh drawn by a reindeer or horse, enjoying the panoramic views from the snow tank’s sleigh, speeding along on a snowmobile, or perhaps gracefully gliding on skis. Experience staying in the igloo and if you are lucky, you don’t have to leave the bed to see the auroras.
