Create a little magic this winter and experience the beauty and wonders of Santa’s homeland with a trip to Lapland.

Whether it’s a big treat for the kids or something you’ve always wanted to do, Lapland offers so much to every age group.

Key things to do in Lapland:

Winter sports

Lapland is a haven for those looking to experience the snowy countryside. From riding a snowmobile to skiing down the remarkable landscapes, you’re guaranteed the forecast will be snow.

Reindeer sleigh

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? What could be more magical than taking a sleigh ride with Santa’s trusted companions – his reindeer.

Although they won’t be using any of their magic flying dust (strictly reserved for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day) you’ll have just as good a time snuggling under blankets with your family.

Warm yourself by a real wooden log fire. There’s only so much cold one person likes to experience, that’s why there’s nothing better than sitting around the log fire with a warm cup of cocoa and appreciating the charm that is Lapland.

Discover the landscapes

Lapland offers you a chance to see miles and miles of untouched landscapes as far as the eye can see.

From clear skies, to dreamlike snowy hills and snow dusted trees, you’ll definitely want to take your camera with you on this outing.

Helpful tip: Book a snowmobile safari and catch the Northern Lights on your trip too.

Visit Santa

A trip to Lapland wouldn’t be complete without meeting the old man himself – Santa Claus.

Meet the real Santa in his home and find out if you are on the naughty or nice list. Let him in on what you really want for Christmas and let him know what a fantastic time you have had so far. If you’re lucky he’ll even give you a small gift to take home!

Just be sure to leave those milk and cookies out for him on Christmas Eve.
