A friend and I shared a beautiful apartment, We had a good deal from Aurora Zone, of bed and breakfast and dinner, with flights, airport transfers and three outings, namely dog sledding reindeer trek and snowmobile search for the Aurora. We were warmly greeted at the airport by resort staff who drove us back to the apartments with a lovely kitchenette, sitting room, bedroom and shower room. The food was lovely, very varied and plenty of traditional fare in a buffet setting. We were adequately suited and booted in very warm outdoor wear, and the guides couldn't have been better. It was unseasonably warm the first night, only -9! Then it got much colder down to -21. Dog sledding was really good fun, as the dogs were obviously keen to run. Very glad I had taken my ski goggles as it was very cold. The snow train was a magical experience too, and we were very glad to stop half way during both of these trips to huddle round the fire pit in a teepee and drink warm blackcurrant juice and barbeque sausages. I braved a night in an ice cabin which was freezing but something to be proud of, I think! Three disappointments - I wanted to use the jacuzzi after my night in the ice cabin as my back was really sore, but was told I would have to pay for the hour and a half rate for use of sauna, ice pool and jacuzzi of 145 euros, no exceptions. Too much for me so spent half an hour in the shower. The food on the third night was uninspiring, very bland and not very tasty. Lastly, the reindeer trek was a disaster from start to finish. Despite being fitted out by other guides in the blink of an eye, Saara struggled to get the right sizes for many of our group. By my fourth overall I was hot and bothered and said it would do as I couldn't bear the thought of struggling with yet another change! So we were over half an hour late getting to the site. Then one of the Reindeer refused to pull his sleigh, and then our reindeer;s harness broke and had running repairs, and then we had a power failure n the shed at the end of our juice break, and we still had to finish at midnight. I know tings happen when animals are involved but the clothing debacle should not have occurred. That said, we stayed out after that, and occasionally going back to the open fire to warm up, were eventually rewarded with the most brilliant display of Northern Lights at around 2am. Overall, a magical experience, lots of lovely memories of friendly people and a winter wonderland.
