Additional Information & Description

The Night Barbecue brings a traditional Lappish meal into the outdoors for an evening beneath the northern sky. In Rovaniemi, in Finland’s Lapland region, this 3-hour-30-minute outing centres on time around a fire, with a chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis overhead.

A fireside meal in Lapland

A Lappish barbecue and a hot drink are included. Eat beside the crackling fire and enjoy the warmth of your drink in the open air. The meal gives the evening its focus: time to sit, eat and take in the surroundings, rather than a dinner inside a restaurant.

Stories with a licensed guide

A professional licensed tour guide accompanies the outing and shares stories during the evening. That storytelling adds another element to the time spent around the fire. Live guiding is available in English, French and Spanish, so the experience includes spoken commentary as well as the outdoor meal.

A chance to look for the northern lights

Look up during the evening: with luck, the Aurora Borealis may appear. A sighting is a possibility, not a promised part of the outing. The night sky provides a reason to turn your attention away from the fire, but the barbecue does not depend on the lights making an appearance.
