Finnish Lapland holidays

Who are Finnish Lapland holidays best for?

Finnish Lapland is one of the most naturally beautiful destinations in the world. This vast expanse of undisturbed nature is punctuated every so often with quaint villages or small ski resorts, making Finnish Lapland a dream destination for nature-lovers and anybody who delights in being outdoors. Activities are available throughout the year - with kayaking, hiking and biking popular during the warmer months, and snow adventures on the menu during the winter season - so active travellers will be in their element, but families in particular will love the winter wonderland of Finnish Lapland around Christmas, where tots to teens can meet Saint Nick himself, experience the thrill of a reindeer-pulled sleigh, and days spent snowmobiling and husky mushing.

What can you find on Finnish Lapland holidays that you won’t find elsewhere?

Finnish Lapland is wonderfully wild. Skiers can enjoy the slopes at vibrant Levi and quieter, chic Ylaas; those looking for an adrenaline rush can learn how to mush on a sled pulled by huskies; and for some peace and relaxation, try forest bathing and traditional Finnish sauna experiences in the snow. The region is also an excellent place to chase the Northern Lights, and come evening, we can organise tours to go out and search for them before you head back to your quirky hotel, treehouse, igloo or ice-room for the night.

Special things to do in Finnish Lapland

- Experience the thrill of a husky ride through the snow. Whether you’re mushing yourself or enjoying the view from the sled seat, the feeling of skating over the white snow through towering trees is incredible.
- Bathe in the forest. Tuck yourself into a warm hammock between ancient trees in a remote forest and breathe in some of the world’s cleanest air for a meditative and relaxing experience.
- Jump straight from the sauna into the snow on an unusual Finnish sauna experience that will get your skin tingling.
- Chase the Northern Lights with an expert guide who can help teach you how to photograph them so that your memories last a lifetime.
