A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER
For many, Lapland is synonymous with Christmas and winter, and for good reason as by Christmas, so much of the northern hemisphere transforms into a snowy white winter wonderland. And, speaking of snow, there’s no other Arctic destination on Earth with the snow opportunities that Lapland offers.

This intrepid winter itinerary is a delectable blend of the quintessential Lappish adventures combining the Christmas festivities. From an adventurous journey looking for Santa's secret hideout in the forest to mushing huskies and riding reindeers to cruising on snowmobiles and ice fishing on a frozen lake, this will be one unforgettable winter holiday into the heart of Arctic winter and Christmas magic.
