Picking you up by car, we will leave the city lights far behind and go to a location with a magnificent view of the starry sky. Our guide will prepare an open fire for you where we can rest and cook Lappish sausages. As we sit in the crisp air while the fire crackles near us, your guide will tell us interesting facts, myths, stories and answer any questions you have about Finnish life and life in the north. In warm cottage we will show you a video about Northern lights and tell stories about life in Lapland
