Northern Lights

Adventure Holidays in Lapland

Lapland is the name given to an area in the most northern part of Europe that is mostly within the Arctic Circle.  It stretches across northern Norway, Finland and Sweden and the north west of Russia.

Adventure holidays are popular not only because they usually involve taking part in a range of activities, but also because they allow travellers to see a large proportion of the country they are visiting, and this could not be truer than when taking an adventure holiday to Lapland.

There are a variety of different package tours available to those who wish to venture across the wintery landscape of the region, all offering different sports and activities for different abilities and age groups. There are also holidays that combine active sports with searching for the Northern Lights.

By taking an adventure holiday to Kittila in Finland, travellers can take a reindeer safari across the snowy hills and valleys, or discover the area via cross country skiing.  They can also visit some unique, traditional villages on a snowmobile, or learn to direct a team of husky dogs on the back of a sled.

Travellers visiting Sweden’s Lapland can expect an adventure-filled trip, with snowmobiles, sleighs and skiing.  There is also the opportunity to sit back and relax, perhaps even catch dinner, with some ice fishing.  Travellers will also find fun in the shooting range, in a car on the ice track, on the curling rink and even in the sea by swimming in an immersion suit.
