One of our favourite partners, Northern Lights Village, opened the doors on their brand new destination in Pyhä in 2023. We have been privileged enough to watch this awesome team create two of our most popular destinations from the initial concept stage right through to the professional operation to which we send hundreds of happy guests each month during the Autumn and Winter seasons.
The small village of Pyhä is around 130km North of the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Rovaniemi airport. The Northern Lights Village is located about 5km from the nearby downhill ski resort. The village is set in a beautiful, picturesque snowy forest and just a very short walk away you can find the frozen Lake Pyhäjärvi.
Facilities
- This is the only Northern Lights Village with 4 different types of accommodation, 2 of which are exclusive to Pyhä. You will be spoilt for choice between the 3 different glass roofed options (each special in it’s own way) or the effortlessly cool, stylish Taiga (pronounced like Tiger) cabins. There is something for everyone here!
- The Aurora Cabins, Aurora Suites and Sky View Suites are all located near to the main building with the snowy forest extending into the distance behind them. The Taiga cabins are a 5-10 minute walk from the main building and set further into the snowy picturesque forest. There are always some sledges lying around to borrow to help get any littlies with tired legs back to the cabin.
- Almost all of the activities start onsite and those which don’t are less than a 15-minute drive away. No lengthy transfers here to waste time on your holiday!
- There is an onsite restaurant where all your meals will be served and a large bar/ lounge area too. You can enjoy a buffet breakfast of hearty continental options and hot dishes, while evening meals feature local delicacies like reindeer and Arctic char. Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements are well-catered for with advanced notice. There is also a Bistro menu if you wished to upgrade one evening (payable locally).
- All of your winter clothing is provided, simply go to the onsite Safari House where overalls, gloves, boots, skis and snowshoes are stored for easy access. The local team will be happy to advise on sizing and how to dress to complement the clothing provided (The Aurora Zone also provides a comprehensive suggested packing list too with top tips from our experts). You can also exchange your clothing at any stage if it gets wet or cold so you are ready for your next adventure!
- There are two private ‘Aurora Cabin saunas’ with hot tubs on site – these are really popular and an awesome way to unwind and relax. You can either book these in advance with our team to ensure availability or locally with the reception (additional payment required unless this is listed in the ‘what’s included’ section of your specific holiday)
Personalise This Tour
A trip to Lapland wouldn’t be complete without an encounter with Father Christmas himself. Searching for the man in red will provide all your family with heartwarming memories to last a lifetime.
You’ll be greeted by one of Santa’s jolly Elves as they guide you through a series of magical experiences beginning with a gingerbread baking session. The Elves will help you create the most delicious cookies in their cosy hut before leading you to meet Santa’s captivating reindeer. Next, you’ll enjoy a short reindeer sleigh ride (approximately 10 minutes) through the winding, snowy forest. The Elves will take you on a quest via a snowmobile pulled sleigh to search for Father Christmas’ hidden cabin through the enchanting woods. If you’re successful, your family will be warmly welcomed by Santa and invited to join him for an intimate private experience (approximately 10 minutes). Here, you will be presented with a symbolic gift; the perfect souvenir to treasure from your remarkable holiday.
NB: Children can write a letter to Father Christmas in advance and it can be given to the reception team at check-in so that he will already have their letter when they arrive for their meeting.
