Ride in the dark
Aurora Sky Station
“Visit the Aurora Sky Station at Abisko, Sweden. Take the chairlift to see the stars and have a gourmet dinner at the top station. Then look for the northern lights.”

Arctic eating
Nabo Restaurant
“At amazing Nabo, in Rovaniemi, Finland, they use local ingredients to create modern, fine-dining dishes. There is a reasonably priced plant-based set menu, including many delicacies from Lapland.”

Swedish strolling
Padjelanta Trail
“Try Sweden’s Padjelantaleden, a well-marked 140km wilderness trail through Padjelanta National Park, with huts and camps en route. You can take a helicopter flight to the trail’s mid-point to halve the length if that sounds too tough.”

Remember protection
“Wear waterproof sunscreen. Even though it’s cold it’s easy for your face to burn as the sun reflects up from the snow.”

Finger thoughts
Glove advice
“Wear two pairs of gloves – the first pair being fingerless and the second (outer) pair made of fur-lined waterproof fabric.”
