WEDNESDAY SNOWMOBILES & AMETHYST MINE You will travel by snowmobile through the beautiful snowcapped trees before heading up onto Lampivaara Fell - the site of Europe's only amethyst mine and some spectacular views. You will even get the chance to dig for your own gem before returning to Luosto. In the evening you will head to the local ice rink for some pre-dinner skating. THURSDAY FREE DAY OR OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES Today is free for you to try out an additional activity such as downhill skiing on Luosto's slopes. Relaxing in the sauna is also a very popular alternative! FRIDAY ICE FISHING, SNOWSHOES & PANCAKES It is time to experience some truly Lappish activities. First thing, ice fishing on a local lake. Having drilled your holes in the ice you wait for the fish to bite (hopefully!). Next you take the snowy paths through the forest on a guided snowshoe trek exploring the winter landscape. Tonight's dessert will be served in a Lappish Kota. After a snowmobile pulled sleigh ride you are greeted by your hosts who will tell stories and cook delicious pancakes over an open fire. SATURDAY HUSKY SAFARI & FAREWELL EVENING This is an experience you will never forget. The extraordinary sight (and sound) of the dog teams desperate to depart is almost as memorable as the silence as they pull you through the forest. A family memory to cherish forever! This evening you go to nearby Perheluosto for the final evening involving good old fashioned sledging, a traditional Finnish smoke sauna and a delicious farewell dinner at a local restaurant. SUNDAY DEPARTURE, TRANSFERS AND FLIGHTS All good things must come to an end and after a fun-filled week it is time to head back to Kittila Airport for your return flights.
