As the summer sun refuses to set, what better place to enjoy endless days of outdoor pursuits, from fell trekking to canoeing
Your Activities break begins with a Saturday flight from Gatwick, to Tromso in Norway, the gateway to the Arctic. From Tromso you make the three-and-a-half hour transfer to the Davvi Arctic Lodge in Karesuando in Finnish Lapland, a spectacular journey, travelling through the majestic fjords before passing over the Finmark plateau into Finland.
Once arrived at the Davvi Arctic Lodge you are immersed in nature's tranquility and beauty, with wilderness vistas opening up all around. This is a pleasant base from which to enjoy walks and expeditions into the great outdoors, and there is a tempting range of optional excursions you can choose from.
But your Activities break also offers a number of included activities for you to enjoy, before your return to Tromso and your flight to Gatwick on Tuesday. As well as three nights' full board accommoation in the delightful surroundings of the Davvi Arctic Lodge, your Activities package includes:
Mountain Biking (2hrs)
The wilderness is crisscrossed with tracks that lead you deep into the heart of unspoiled nature. You are provided with a bike that is designed for this terrain and accompanied by an experienced guide to ensure you get the very most from your two-wheeled exploration of Europe's last untouched wilderness.
Bushcraft Safari (3hrs)
A great excursion for those who enjoy being active. You start with a 4x4 safari into a quiet corner of the wilderness. There you will have a talk and demonstration on essential bushcraft skills, including gathering and making your own fire. After a barbecue cooked on your campfire, the excursion concludes with a wilderness trek accompanied by eager huskies who will carry supplies.
Canoeing (2hrs)
A wilderness take, which in the wintertime becomes a snow-topped sheet of ice, is a picture of verdant tranquility in the summertime, with wildlife flocking to its banks to enjoy the oasis of calm. Now it makes a perfect venue to practice your canoeing skills. Here, as you dip your paddle into the sparkling clean waters, you will be surrounded on either bank by the sights, scents and sounds of teeming summer.
Fell Trek (2hrs)
The ancient fells in this region make a spectacular vantage point from which to drink in the glorious vistas of the wilderness and you will enjoy a guided walk amid abundant nature to the very top of the nearby Sakkaravaara Fell, where you will be able to relax and enjoy a will-earned refreshing drink before returning down the hillside.
Our shortest break is for three nights, all spent at the Davvi Arctic Lodge. We also offer a four-night break, which would include spending the last night of your break in lively Tromso. Alternatively you can opt for a seven-night break, again spending your last night in Tromso.
