Santa resorts in Lapland

Lapland Holidays

Lapland in winter is a magical experience, a scenic winter wonderland located deep inside the Arctic Circle and blanketed in snow from December to April. Reindeer far outnumber people here, and snow-laden trees form bizarre sculptures in a vast and silent landscape. At night the mesmerizing Northern Lights shimmer in the moonlight. By day there are exhilarating reindeer, husky and snowmobile safaris.

Holidays to Lapland - when to go

For some visitors the months of December and January are the most evocative, when the blue twilight of 'Kaamos' envelops the arctic landscape and days pass in a palette of rose-coloured dawns and dusks. For others it is the long sunny days of March and April, already longer than back home, when snow crystals sparkle in the sunlight and nature is bathed in a surreal orange glow. Whichever time you choose to travel, Lapland offers a refreshingly different experience for families and couples alike, with direct flights from 3 different UK airports, short transfer times, and the chance to visit Santa - of course.

Lapland Holidays - climate and clothing

Lapland's crisp, dry type of cold is quite comfortable in protective winter clothing. Warm thermal suits and boots can be pre-booked or hired locally. We recommend: Warm ski suit or rented thermal overalls; Long thermal underwear, warm socks and boots; Several light layers of under garments; Hats and gloves; Ski goggles or sunglasses.
