Lapland in winter is a magical experience. A scenic winter wonderland located deep inside the Arctic Circle. 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 mesmerising Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) shimmer in the moonlight. By day there are exhilarating reindeer, husky and snowmobile safaris. For some visitors the months of December and January are the most evocative, when the blue twilight of 'Kaamos' envelops the artic 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.
Our Lapland Ski and Winter Wonderland programme lets you prebook your excursions, ski equipment, lift passes and lessons up front before you go.
