Introduction to Lapland
Lapland is not a country but a region of great natural beauty, larger than the UK. Some believe it to be the ‘homeland’ of Santa Claus (quite rightly!) but it is so much more than this. Having no definitive borders, other than coastal sections, it is difficult to pinpoint where Lapland begins and ends. One thing is certain, with an allure all of its own, it draws people back time and again.
Although Lapland covers a section of northern Sweden, Finland, Norway and part of Russia’s Kola Peninsula, travelling within Russia can be difficult, hence we’ve concentrated on the three Nordic countries. Actually, our main focus is on Swedish Lapland for the simple reason that it is the most accessible with our exclusive direct flights and possibly the best known part of the region, being the location of the Icehotel, the world’s original hotel built entirely of snow and ice.
Take a Lapland holiday during the winter months and discover a true winter wonderland. Imagine snow clad mountains, vast areas of pristine forest, frozen lakes and glittering ice hotels. With adventurous and relaxing activities to fill the days and excellent opportunities to see the northern lights at night, Lapland is the ideal winter getaway.
We feature a selection of winter holidays to Lapland throughout the region, including idyllic log cabins in Finland, whale watching trips in Norway and the chance to sleep on ice at the original ICEHOTEL in Sweden.
