Santa Breaks

December Lapland FAQ's

Yes, Inghams offers a variety of family-friendly accommodation options in Lapland. From cosy cabins to spacious hotels, there are accommodations suitable for families of all sizes. Plus, there are so many fun activities to see and do when you are on a family holiday to Lapland, so you can make the most of your holiday.

Santa Breaks are not recommended for very small infants under 3 years of age. Toddlers 3 years+  generally love the excitement and magic of it all including the Santa’s Workshop. Although children under 4 years old are not able to join any snowmobile safaris, it's possible for them to join the husky & reindeer safari excursion, under the care and supervision of an adult.

For over 20 years, Inghams has worked closely with local tour operators to ensure our guests receive the best value winter excursions in Lapland, including husky, reindeer and horse-riding excursions, a snowmobile safari, ice activities, skiing, meeting Santa Claus, and of course, searching for the Northern Lights.

Yes. This is the most efficient way to obtain clothing for this trip as these may not be something you already own and may not be something you use again. Therefore hiring your base layers is not only the perfect solution but it is also more environmentally friendly. Inghams Lapland is in partnership with EcoSki who are a fantastic ski clothing company who hire out items of all styles, sizes and fashion. Read more about EcoSki on how they started and why it makes sense to rent. They offer everything from Thermals, Fleece Jackets, Salopettes to hats and gloves so you can source everything from one place for all of your travel group.
