Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a visit to the nearby Levi ski resort for more winter activities or extend your stay in the glass igloo to enjoy multiple aurora evenings. For a shorter trip, skip the snowmobile safari and replace the Sami workshop with a quick cultural exhibition, which can reduce the itinerary by half a day while still capturing the magical northern lights experience.
