How many nights?

Most of our private guests stay four or five nights.

Four-night stay, three activities, and the northern lights on any clear evening.

  • Skiing at Levi
  • Husky sledging
  • Reindeer farm

This is one example, and what you actually do is agreed with your travel designer.

Levi's slopes and the cross-country tracks are there every day of the stay, with a guide or on your own. Lift passes and gear are sorted the day before, and when your legs have had enough you call and the car comes.

Your stay

The house is only part of a stay. Transfers, a chef and the days out all come into it, so we price the whole and send you one figure.

Experiences curated for you

We book the days out with local operators we know well. A fully private departure, just your group on your own schedule, can be arranged for most of them.
