Lapland Is Calling...

Lapland Is Calling...

Lapland, Finland

Lapland is one of those places families talk about long after they return home. Snow filled landscapes, wide open space and a true winter atmosphere make every day feel different from home. Experiences are close together, so time is spent outdoors and enjoying the snow rather than travelling, which is why Lapland works so well for families visiting in winter.

Star Arctic Hotel

Star Arctic Hotel is a popular choice for family trips to Lapland because it combines comfort with easy access to winter activities. Family rooms give everyone space to settle in, while full board dining keeps days simple and stress free. After time outside in the snow, evenings are about warming up, eating together and getting ready for the next day’s adventures.

Included Winter Experiences

-Animals and Snow Adventures – Meet reindeer and huskies and spend time outdoors with organised snow games that let children properly enjoy the winter setting. With snow suits and boots provided, everyone can stay outside comfortably for longer.

Activities for Children – Speedy Sam’s Driving School is a favourite with younger children, giving them the chance to “drive” their own mini snow vehicles in a safe, supervised setting. It’s a playful activity that adds variety to the day and is often one of the highlights for kids.

-Santa Experiences – Visit Santa’s Magical Post Office, join the We Found Santa celebration and enjoy a private family meeting with Santa, where each child receives a gift as part of the experience.

-Take Home Memories – Each child aged 2 to 13 years receives a welcome pack and souvenir certificate to mark the trip and bring a piece of Lapland home with them.
