Top Things to Do on Your Lapland Holiday

Lapland is a true winter wonderland, filled with unique activities that can’t be experienced anywhere else. Here are some of the top attractions and things to do on your holidays to Lapland:

• Meet Santa Claus in Rovaniemi: No trip to Lapland is complete without a visit to Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland. This charming city is home to Santa Claus Village, where you can meet the man himself, cross the Arctic Circle, and send postcards from Santa’s official post office. Perfect for families and children of all ages.

From the comfort of cozy cabins to the thrill of snowmobile safaris, there are many ways to catch this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. We can arrange guided tours to some of the best spots in Lapland, ensuring you don’t miss this magical experience.

Alternatively, enjoy a serene and peaceful reindeer sleigh ride, guided by traditional Sami herders. Both activities offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience for adventure seekers and nature lovers. 
• Winter Sports and Snow Activities: Lapland’s snowy terrain is perfect for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. Popular resorts such as Levi, Ylläs, and Saariselkä offer excellent slopes and cross-country trails for winter sports enthusiasts.
