Would’ve booked a second night if neededBase camp was on a frozen lake with a hut with a fire, warm juice and brownies Dogsled http://www.maglelin.fi/ What a delightful afternoon! Ronnie drove a sled himself and I was a passenger on the guide's sled. Once she saw my cane, she made arrangements for me to sit and take 200 photos. Family owned and operated. She offers different distances based on the weather and party size. Arcandia Adventure Park What a fun, silly night! We did ramen with the shamen for dinner. Hot pot cooking with reindeer meat, filet, ramen, fresh vegA la cart sausages and snacks looked goodHot chocolate with mint liqueur was delicious We threw spears, axes, archery, and did an astrology chartThis is hilly terrain with snow packed paths.

Ice sculpture class Ice Hotel suggestions Look at the calendar for when the winter exhibit opens. We went a week before. Fun vibe with all the artists and builders on campus, but we didn’t get to see the annual buildSkip the ice dinner and eat a la cartsUse their gear! It’s really goodMake it two nights - one warm, one cold - and enjoy a slower visit Overall thoughts We went Nov 30 to December 62 hours of daylight stretched into 4-5 hours with dawn and duskWent before peak season of total darkness, so more cost effective We didn’t do any Christmas or Santa stuff A few notes on traveling fat and mobility-impaired IceHotel had gear in sizes too big for me!The icehotel sleeping bag was snug and a little claustrophobic, but it zippedThe property manager had coats big enough for me (actually a little too big)WinterRent coat was my fave, but their 6x pants didn't fit. Their boots were also the best I borrowed for me. The Snow Country snow pants I bought on clearance last year were perfect https://www.snowcountryouterwear.com/ Smart Wool base layers in largest size fit greatDarn Tough socks were tight on calf, but worked good enough Every restaurant has comfortable seating for meThe wheelchair plane access in Kittila was an elevator on a truck. If you are unsteady on your feet, get wheelchair services in the airports and save your energy for dogsledding. Bring your own towel. No towel in Finland wrapped around my body.
