Prometheus in Lapland

Lapland - 1 room may be available, please contact the Prometheus office 06 24996812

A trip to Lapland has been requested by a number of members and as we are here to please, this is it, we will visit Swedish Lapland!

Since our last visit to Lapland prices have gone through the roof and we had to shop around. We have found our partner in Nordic, a Belgian travel company specialising in the North. Flights will therefore leave from Brussels airport.

Prometheus will arrange a bus to take us to the airport and return us after the trip to Delft.

The flight times are not yet known. If the flight leaves very early in the morning, we will travel to Brussels one day earlier and stay at an airport hotel. Prices have been requested from the Van de Valk hotel.

We will fly from Brussels to Kittilä airport and will stay in hotel Arctic River Lodge, quite a small accommodation which is perfect for this Prometheus group. We will stay on a basis of Full Board.

OUr option for places has expired. Please get in touch with the Prometheus office if you are interested.

Programme

We will depart from Brussels airport and fly with SN Brussels Airlines to Kittilä. Upon landing we will transfer into the coach driving towards the hotel. During the drive we will take a short break to visit to the impressive Lainio Snow Village where we can enjoy a soup lunch before we travel onto Tärendö and our hotel where dinner will be served.

Monday March 23^rd

After breakfast it’s time to get active! We are meeting up with Husky dogs to make a tour into the Swedish wilderness. We will divide into couples and one of the participants will be the musher whilst the other enjoys the ride. Halfway around, if you desire, you can switch over. After our morning’s exercise its back to the hotel for lunch. Your afternoon is free to spend as you wish. You may enjoy cross country skiing, snow walking or perhaps the sauna (not include in the price).

After dinner you need to get back into your outdoor clothes for the flame torch tour as we go in search of the Northern lights.

Tuesday March 24^th

Enjoy breakfast and a free morning before we prepare for the exciting afternoon programme.
After lunch we will be discovering the area on snow scooters. There will be plenty of time for both of you to drive the scooter. Drivers must be in possession of a Dutch Driving Licence B (or compatible)

Dinner this evening is unique. Get back into your outdoor clothes as dinner is outside in at traditional Lavvu tent, the original Sami home. This will be an unforgettable evening as we gather around the campfire and enjoy dinner under the stars,

Wednesday March 25^th

After breakfast it’s once again time to dress for the outside world. Our guide will meet us at the hotel, and we are going on a guided tour to learn more about the nature of this area. You will be wearing snow shoes, this activity is interesting but also great fun too.
We will enjoy lunch outdoors by the fire before we move onto our next activity. The ultimate adrenaline kick – a snow buggy tour. Driving along the river over a challenging route, this is another holiday highlight. The drive is long enough for everybody to get behind the wheel. For those interested there is also an opportunity to try your hand at ice fishing.
At the end of this active day we will return to the hotel for dinner and to exchange our adventure stories by the open fire.

Thursday March 26^th

After breakfast it is already time to say goodbye to Lapland, and we will return to Delft via Kittilä, and Brussels Airport.
