Analiza, Jaime, Christian were so kind and picked up us perfectly. Thanks to them, the tour was worth it. The experience of Sauna was so good and its location was perfect. Luckily, we watched auroras doing the sauna! Such a wonderful day with this activity:)

Great experience. After going from the hot sauna to the ice lake a couple of times, you feel as if you are floating. I would recommend to anyone. In addition, the guide Alizé was excellent. Shame it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the polar lights.

Spectacular!!! Everything well organized. Thanks to the guides Toni in English and Sergio in Spanish, very attentive and friendly. They informed us of everything with great sympathy!!! Very professional and close to people.

More than perfect, friendly, helpful guide, Aylen. Good organisation, winderful attractions.

Amazing activity for anyone who wants to really experience life as a real Lappish local!
