Holidays to Lapland

In the far north of Finland & Sweden, deep inside the Arctic Circle is Lapland, Europe's last great unspoiled wilderness area.  On a holiday to Lapland you will breathe in the cleanest air in the world and enjoy a range of winter activities.  For example you can take a short weekend break to weeks away with a variety of accommodation in log cabins, wigwam style tents or igloos. Want to take the children (or big children!) to find Santa in the forest, ride on a sleigh or take a husky ride?  Then get in touch for a tailor made non commercial Lapland experience.

Holidays to see the Northern Lights 

By day you can experience reindeer, snowmobile and husky dog safaris with the spectacular backdrop of frozen lakes and hills. After dark, in the silence of the Arctic night, you could witness the Northern Lights, one of the most awesome experiences on the planet.

Visit Santa in Lapland

For families at Christmas time, there is the chance to meet Santa in the forest.  Subsequently you can take reindeer sleigh rides, enjoy kick sledging, tobogganing and snowball fights!  Some of the Santa holidays are very commercial, so please ask us about some out of the way remote places where you can find Father Christmas!

Husky Sledding in Lapland

Husky sledding is one of the most sought after experiences in Lapland.  There are many kinds of husky sledding experiences from full day adventures to a short taster session. For example you can enjoy the scenery by day and also after dark in search of the Northern Lights...or both!  You will be accompanied by expert mushers who know the trails and their dogs extremely well.  Furthermore, they will give you full instructions on how to handle your sled and team of dogs before you set off into the wilderness.  This is not the usual way to travel but is an exceptional Arctic experience.

Sami Culture in Lapland

True Lapland is the home of the nomadic Sami people and is a land of magic and legends. From Enontekio you can explore the immense wilderness and travel the 'Northern Lights Route' to Tromso.   Here you will find crystal clear lakes, rivers and vast forests.  Enontekio is part of the Sami Homeland where this community of around 2,000 people and 20,000 reindeer, carry out a way of life evolved over centuries. The Sami are the only ethnic group in Europe to be recognised as aboriginal.

The Arctic Winter

November is the start of the Arctic winter with the first falls of snow and polar nights starting and the beginning of the period when the Northern Lights appear.

December has increased flights to visit Santa and there are 22 hours of darkness with the sun never really reaching over the horizon.

January days become a little longer and snow is deep underfoot, a fabulous time to enjoy polar blue skies and Northern Lights.

February is a great half term break for families and the first glimpses of Spring arrive.

March has the deepest snow of the winter, longer daylight hours and great for cross country skiing and overnight Arctic adventures.
