Nordbotten
Nestled among the firs, the heart of the camp is a convivial space where precious moments are shared with simplicity: a warm lounge, a central fire that crackles continuously, and a traditional sauna set directly on the ice, a true wellness sanctuary amid pristine landscapes. A second sauna has been added on the edge of the forest.
Meals, prepared from local produce — smoked reindeer, Arctic berries, freshly caught fish — celebrate Nordic gastronomy with refined simplicity.
We recommend the camp for children aged 6 and above.
Accommodation comes in the form of elegant lavvu tents, reimagined with Scandinavian charm. Each is heated by a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy atmosphere where the warmth plays over reindeer hides, Nordic textiles and softly glowing lanterns. Some are positioned to take in the starry sky and the northern lights from the comfort of the bed, while the “Aurora Cones” (open in autumn and winter only) offer a more contemporary alternative, with their minimalist design and wide openings onto the snow-covered forest.
In summer, an even more original option appears: the floating sauna becomes a private camp, anchored five minutes from the main camp. There you can swim, paddle, fish, enjoy a barbecue on the terrace in complete privacy, then spend the night on the water in one of the two lavvu tents or in the room. The ideal spot for a unique moment as a couple, with family or with friends, fully disconnected.
With each season, Aurora Safari Camp reinvents itself.
In winter, adventures take shape through dog sledding, snowmobiling or snowshoeing through the forest beneath the aurora’s glow. Fatbikes are also available. Other unusual activities on offer include ice fishing and ice sculpting.
Summer and autumn call for river cruises, canoeing adventures, hikes into the heart of Lapland’s nature, fishing expeditions, and photography workshops to capture the shifting light of the Arctic Circle. The forests of Lapland also conceal plenty of edible treasures, which you can discover on foraging walks.
Finally, “survival” activities may also be offered, in both summer and winter — an original way to better understand nature and the world around us. In every season, it is also possible to meet the Sami people and learn more about their traditions, marked in particular by reindeer herding.
Throughout, the experience retains that rare sense of being alone in the world, within a luxury that never announces itself.
