There’s a very simple, very good reason that every car manufacturer in world performs Cold Climate Testing in the Arctic Circle: absolutely nothing challenges car and driver like ice . It’s the same reason that has helped Finland produce generation after generation of racing legends.

Once you’ve sharpened your handling on the smooth, flat, low-traction surfaces of our purpose-built circuits, you’ll be able to unlock your driving potential wherever you take your McLaren. From road to track, in the dry or wet. 

Whether you want to boost your general road control skills, perfect  a stylish slide, or explore the outer limits of handling performance, every moment in this extreme environment provides an unrivalled adrenalin rush. And tests you like no other. With your personal McLaren Driver Coach along for the ride, we’ll tailor the programme to your personal goals and ability level.

At your disposal is a rule-breaking combination of potent performance and continent-crossing comfort: the perfectly balanced McLaren GT.

Its instant torque, mighty V8 and low-gravity, lightweight chassis offer dynamic potential and delicate feel – allowing you to tune in to the ice surface  under your wheels. And precisely hone every movement.

An exclusive, intimate retreat. Defined by traditional design. And ultimate luxury hospitality. Javri Lodge is a stunning boutique hotel – surrounded by trees on the outskirts of the small village of Saariselkä.

From delicious breakfasts and gourmet evening meals. To luxury health and wellness facilities. Recharge, relax – your every need is catered for in this perfect base to start and end each ice-cold, thrill-seeking day.

Javri was once the favoured holiday home of Urho Kekkonen – Finland’s longest serving president. Today, it has been carefully and lovingly transformed with sustainability in mind – to offer guests a warm and cosy log-cabin refuge.

Home to exceptional, locally sourced cuisine and an exquisite European wine list, you’ll enjoy fine dining at Javri’s renowned restaurant itself, as well as a top-rated eatery further afield. 

And, topping off the culinary side of your adventure, guests on our 4-Day Programme will also enjoy a spectacular private dining experience – savouring the snow-covered vista, and perhaps even a glimpse of the Northern Lights, from a unique hilltop location.
