Northern Lights Village Pyhä is an activity provider based in Pelkosenniemi, Lappi, offering guided outdoor experiences across Finnish Lapland. The operation runs a diverse program of winter and seasonal tours including snowmobile safaris, husky safaris, reindeer visits and sled rides, aurora-hunting excursions, electric fat bike rides, national park hikes, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and family-focused activities. Tours range from short 25‑minute rides to half‑day 4‑hour safaris, with options designed for children and adults alike.
Children aged 6 and up can try a supervised kids' snowmobile on a 200m track with expert instructions and provided gear. Husky safaris include a 10 km route pulled by teams of eager huskies, approximately one hour of riding, warm berry juice and thermal clothing for the activity. Snowmobile safaris include shorter two-hour options and longer four-hour expeditions that feature scenic breaks and a warm soup lunch on some departures. Aurora-hunting experiences are offered by snowmobile, heated sleigh, snowshoes and electric fat bike, combining night rides with campfire stops, snacks and warm drinks while waiting for northern light displays.
Electric fat bike safaris use easy-to-handle bikes with wide tires for stability and include aurora camp comforts on evening departures. Guided national park hikes explore Pyhä‑Luosto landscapes with snacks provided. All trips describe guided leadership, provided gear where noted, and on-site facilitation in the Pelkosenniemi area. Offerings also include an aurora photography workshop, reindeer paddock visits, a Searching for Santa experience, survival camp and seasonal autumn options like an autumn husky safari, available in multiple seasonal formats.
