The far north, in deep winter
Arctic Finland and Sweden — snow, forest and a few short hours of extraordinary light, with the days built around them.
Enquire About LaplandWhere you stay decides what the trip is
A glass-roofed cabin, a lakeside lodge and a wilderness hotel are three entirely different holidays that happen to share a destination. It is the decision that shapes everything else, and the one most easily got wrong when every option photographs beautifully.
In midwinter you have a few hours of usable light, so trips need building around that rather than against it — fewer activities, better chosen, with enough time to actually be somewhere. We plan for the group that is travelling, because a trip for a five-year-old and a trip built around husky safaris and aurora have very little in common.
The Right Base
Rovaniemi, the fells, the deep north or the Swedish side — each suits a different trip.
Paced For The Light
Days shaped around the few hours you get, not crammed against them.
Properly Equipped
It reaches −30°C. We confirm what thermal kit the operator supplies before you pack for it.
How Lapland is arranged
Family Lapland Trips
Built around younger children — shorter travel, shorter activities and a base you can retreat to when it all becomes too much.

Kiruna and the Torne valley — the same landscape with a stronger design streak and generally fewer visitors.
