Experience Winter in Lapland

Highlights for your winter holiday

Winter in Lapland offers unforgettable experiences throughout the ski holiday season and well into spring. As the days gradually grow longer and the light returns, conditions remain excellent both on the slopes and on the cross-country trails. Crisp frosty nights and reliable snow create perfect settings for outdoor activities and winter sports throughout the holiday season.

During the ski holidays, Lapland brings together the very best of winter: well-equipped ski resorts, carefully groomed trails, and a wide range of winter activities. After active days outdoors, you can unwind with peaceful evenings, atmospheric landscapes, and the unique winter ambience of the North.

Winter in Lapland invites you to enjoy a holiday that balances activity and relaxation – whether you’re planning a ski holiday in February or a winter escape later in the season.
