Private Northern Lights expeditions, Arctic wilderness and glass igloo nights — arranged individually, from the first evening to the last, for travellers who prefer discretion to spectacle.
Lapland Ultra curates private journeys into Finland's Arctic wilderness. Every itinerary is written around your dates, your pace and the people travelling with you — then guided privately, and shared with no one else.
Taken separately, or composed together as a complete winter programme with a single point of contact.
Aurora expeditions away from the crowds, timed to forecast and led by guides who know exactly where the sky will open. We watch the cloud maps and the KP index through the afternoon and choose the night's direction only once the conditions are clear.
Warm transport, a fire, something hot to drink, and as many hours out as you want to give it. Nothing is shared with another group.

Snowmobile safaris, husky and reindeer encounters, and cross-country routes through Lapland's deep snow, tailored to your pace. Half a day or a full one, gentle or genuinely remote — the route is set to your party rather than a timetable.
Ice fishing, snowshoe walks and evenings among reindeer herds sit alongside the same programme for those who prefer the quieter end of the Arctic.
Explore the journeys
Fall asleep beneath the aurora in a private glass suite. We reserve the rooms worth having — the ones with an unobstructed northern view and no neighbouring roofline — and we book them early, because in season they are gone by summer.
For larger parties and family gatherings, a villa with a private sauna, a private chef and a dedicated guide is usually the quieter answer.
Private travelShare your dates, your party, and what draws you to the Arctic. A short note is enough to begin.
We compose a private itinerary suited entirely to you — accommodation, guides, transfers and the quiet logistics in between.
Arrive, and let the Arctic take care of the rest. One number to call if anything needs changing.
If you are unsure, tell us the feeling you are after rather than the place. We will suggest the region that fits it.
Our base, and the easiest arrival. Glass igloos and reindeer within half an hour of the runway — with quiet found as soon as you leave the road.
Reliably dark. Fell landscapes, some of Finland's strongest aurora statistics, and Urho Kekkonen National Park at the door.
Lapland's most complete resort fell — skiing, dining and easy logistics — with private safaris departing into the emptiness behind it.
Small, old and unhurried. Steep fells and a scale of place that suits travellers who dislike being one of many.
Deep snow-laden forest, gorges and rapids, and a wildlife-watching tradition unlike anywhere else in the country.
The far north-western arm, where Finland meets Norway and Sweden. Genuine remoteness, and the discretion that comes with it.
Send a short note and we will reply personally, usually within 24 hours, with a first outline of what your winter could look like.
