Finnish Lapland is a hot spot for Northern Lights holidays, a haven for families seeking an audience with Father Christmas, and a dream for those wanting wilderness hotels and the chance to explore the Arctic Circle. Traveling to Finnish Lapland in the winter is an amazing opportunity to witness the Northern Lights and to soak up the magic of the Father Christmas experience; or enjoy husky dog-sledding safaris, snowshoeing and skiing.
Lakes, islands, national parks, wild landscapes – from north to south, Finland is a country full of nature. For those travellers who adore a sense of silence and dream of hiding away in a cabin in the woods, Finland has endless deep dark forests and wilderness hotels. For intrepid travellers who want to plunge into icy lakes and hop into steamy saunas, Finland holidays are sure to get your heart beating strong. For travellers who love a taste of the action - Finland offers winters spent traversing the landscapes by snowmobile, cross country skis or snowshoeing.
Be sure to take a weekend in Helsinki, where you can revel in the beauty of its architecture - kick back in the green parks, and head out island hopping. The Suomenlinna fortress is a must see, dating back to the 18th century and declared a UNESCO heritage site. If you want to extend your trip, a long weekend in Lapland puts you right in the heart of mother nature. Admire herds of reindeer or mysterious elk and partake in endless activities that move with the rhythms of nature.
With 200km of slopes and giant ice sculptures, Helsinki invites the best of both worlds – offering a cultural city break along with the chance to cross-country ski across the great outdoors.
Children and adults alike will fall head over heels for sleigh rides, husky and reindeer cuddles and twinkling lights.
Listen to the hound’s howl before they take off across the snowy grounds, pulling you and the sleigh into the air as you go. For the truly brave of heart, Finland is an incredible place to take a ride in an icebreaker and even swim alongside giant eerie groaning icicles.
We can arrange for you to meet some of the native Sami people, many of whom still live a nomadic life criss-crossing the northern borders of Norway, Sweden and Finland.
