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

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.
Northern Lights Hunting
Lapland is one of the best places in the world to witness the stunning Northern Lights. 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.
Husky Safaris and Reindeer Sleigh Rides
Embrace the true spirit of Lapland with exhilarating husky sled rides through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes. 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. Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, you’ll find slopes suited to your skill level.
