This is an all inclusive package that offers the full experience of Lappish life in the wilderness, a unique and unforgettable experience of living in the wilderness, guided by a Lappish family. The package offers one, two, or three night stays, with a maximum of four people per package. Each night includes breakfast, a savory and Lappish meal made from local ingredients, and a minimum of two Lappish experiences or activities. Additionally, you'll have your own host available 24/7.
The host family's private Lompero wilderness ranch and its surroundings has the perfect place to experience lapland wilderness life. Lompero wilderness ranch is located in the middle of a pristine snowy winter wonderland. There you will experience complete silence and the gentle embrace of Lappish wilderness nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and light pollution.
While you're there, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the local culture and way of living in the wilderness. This is a great way to immerse yourself in the authentic Lapland surroundings and truly appreciate all that the area has to offer. Your host will take care of your safety and comfort throughout your stay.
The accommodation is in a real wilderness cabin without electricity and running water, which is a great way to disconnect from the modern world and enjoy the natural surroundings. The main cabin is made from local wood and is located by a pond, with no neighbors for miles around. As there is no electricity or running water on the property, your host will take care of these needs for you. During your visit, you will have a chance to learn traditional customs such as how to get water from an icy wilderness pond and how to wash without a shower in a sauna. In addition to the main cabin where you will be sleeping, the ranch also has a sauna building, a smoke sauna, a hut kitchen, and an outdoor toilet. This is truly a unique and peaceful place to stay, where you can enjoy the beauty of the wilderness without any distractions from the outside world.
This package includes the tailor-made program and a personalized experience and meals. Your host will organize at least two programs each day, which could be experiences or activities including equipment and guidance. Activities are based on the host's lifestyle and may include different winter fishing activities, wilderness excursions or various sauna pampering experiences. No matter which program you choose, you can expect to be surrounded by stunning natural beauty and to have the opportunity to connect with the wilderness in a meaningful way. The meals are prepared by a private cook with traditional Lappish recipes and local ingredients, giving you a taste of the local cuisine. The cook will prepare warm meals for you to enjoy either in the hut kitchen or inside the cabin, and breakfast will be served in the hut kitchen by the fire.
