You'll then head back to the lodge for a delicious lunch before taking advantage of the clear, dark skies only granted this far north with a snowshoeing trip through the fir forests in search of the Northern Lights.

For your last night, you'll let your guide take the controls as you tuck yourself into a cosy sled, to be pulled by snowmobile across a frozen lake for supper in an Aurora Hideaway. These small restaurants on skis can be towed by snowcat to find the best places to view the Northern Lights. In these unique surroundings, you’ll enjoy three delicious courses accompanied by a toasty fire and romantic candlelight, before hunting the aurora in the silent wilderness.
