Holidays to Finland

Finnish Lapland is best known as the home of Santa Claus and is the location for the world famous Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi where Christmas is all year round! Having said that; Finnish Lapland is definitely not a gimmick and has many exceptionally beautiful areas to visit if Santa isn’t your ‘thing’!

You could choose to visit Kilpisjarvi near the Swedish border where not only is there several gorgeous accommodation options there are exciting activities such as visiting the 3-border point where Norway, Sweden and Finland meet! When considering high level luxury accommodation you could head to Inari where you will find the stunning Javri Lodge which can be hired exclusively for a larger group or perhaps to Levi and the Golden Crown resort which offers glass-roofed igloo suites and top quality service.

Finnish Lapland offers a wealth of incredible activities during winter and summer; there are strong cultural roots with the Sami people and this is one of the best locations in the world to learn more about these indigenous people and get close to their reindeer. Snowmobiling, dog sledding and ice fishing are all possible in the winter and in the summer hiking is a highlight in some of the most magnificent vistas in the world.

It is also home to some amazing hotels slightly further south as you head down towards Rovaniemi (which is a fabulous city to explore all year round with high level accommodation, restaurants and activities) including Iso Syote and Sunday Morning Resort in the fell scenery of Pyhä-Luosto National Park which are perfect for a laid back summer escape with beautiful views underneath the Midnight Sun.
