Today it's time to say goodbye to Stockholm and take a flight to Kiruna. Upon your arrival at the airport, we will transfer you to Camp Ripan, where you will pick up your thermal suit at our local office. This special gear will help you face the low temperatures of the north.

In the evening, the adventure will begin with an exciting tour to the Ice Coliseum. On snowmobile-pulled sleds, our guide will take you along a frozen river to reach this impressive place. Away from the city's light pollution, you'll have an incredible opportunity to observe the magical northern lights. To keep warm, our guides will light a bonfire, creating a cozy atmosphere in the middle of the tundra.

The coliseum's location is perfect for viewing the northern lights: the sky is usually clear, there are no nearby lights to interfere, and the visibility to the north is excellent. How lucky you are!

At midnight, you'll enjoy a delicious dinner in a cozy nearby wooden cabin.
