Example Itinerary – Chasing the Aurora, 3 Nights / 4 Days
A sample three-night stay focused on Northern Lights, Arctic evenings and relaxing days at Lumo Resort.
Day 1 – Arrival
Arrive at Kuusamo Airport and transfer to Lumo Resort.
Check in, receive your thermal clothing and settle into your accommodation with panoramic views.
In the evening, enjoy a three-course dinner at the resort restaurant. You can follow the Aurora Alert App during your stay for Northern Lights updates.
Day 2 – Resort Activities and Aurora Night Safari
After breakfast, enjoy the resort's outdoor activities at your own pace, such as fatbiking, forest trails or cross-country skiing.
Lunch is served at the resort.
In the evening, enjoy dinner before heading out for a guided Aurora night safari by foot or snowshoes. During the tour, you will walk into the forest, make a fire and learn more about the Northern Lights and Arctic nature.
Day 3 – Arctic Day and Aurora Snowmobile Safari
After breakfast, spend the day enjoying the resort area and winter activities.
Lunch is served at the resort.
After dinner, head out away from the lights of the resort to watch the sky. Depending on snow and ice conditions, the trip is made either by snowmobile across the frozen lake or by car to an open viewing spot nearby. At the best spot the engines and lights are switched off and you have time to let your eyes adjust to the darkness. Hot drinks are served during the stop.
On snowmobile departures, drivers must be 18 or over and hold a valid driving licence. Passengers travel in the sleigh or behind the driver. Your guide confirms the mode of transport on the day.
