    Family magic in Lapland

    Lapland is one of the most enchanting, magical and unforgettable destinations for a family holiday. Watch your children’s eyes light up when they see Santa, sitting in his own home, ready to ignite their love for Christmas. Hear their laughter as they zip over the endless snowy expanse on a husky-drawn sled. Learn to ski on gentle slopes, or embark on a reindeer safari through enchanted forests.

    At night, cosy-up in your luxury cabin or a glass igloo and watch the ethereal Northern Lights dance overhead. Try your hand at some local activities like ice-fishing, snow-shoeing or tobogganing. Step into a traditional Finnish sauna and feel your stress melt away in the steamy air. Lapland boasts endless opportunities for family bonding and creating cherished moments. It’s a winter wonderland where fairy tales come to life and family dreams become reality.
