Why go on holiday to Lapland in January? 

  • It's always nice to beat the January blues and have a holiday to look forward to.
  • In January, the slopes tend to be quieter and freer so you can ski until your heart is content without interruptions.
  • As January tends to be a quieter time, you will have lots of accommodation choices, so you can pick your favourite!
  • Yes, January tends to be the coldest time of year, but therefore tends to be the crispest, clear skies. Offering therefore stunning views of the scenery and surroundings.
