We travelled with SkiLapland to Helsinki for a stopover to look at this amazing city in the snow and awe at the frozen sea. We then travelled to Kittila for 5 days of skiing and with a side tour of husky sledging. It was all fantastic.

SkiLapland have specialist knowledge of Lapland and of all of the resorts they work with, their advice in planning our holiday was invaluable.

Great holiday, good resort, nice hotel.

Easy to book

Our hotel was great, the food they served us in the restaurant was brilliant, we got to try some Finnish cuisine. Mainly Reindeer and False Morel Mushrooms. Everything was simply delicious. The reception staff lady that checked us in was fantastic, sadly I did not get her name. She spent time arranging for us to have a room with a better view and after asking her about phone calls if the lights appeared she kindly rang us when they faintly decided to show up on the Monday evening. The Skidoo Safari was fun and we were lucky enough to see the lights right at the end of the excursion! The Huskey Sled Experience was something else, so sweet and funny being pulled along by dogs that are so excited they are frothing at the mouth then after they've done their run they are the sweetest docile little doggies. We spent a good 40 minutes after fussing them and had to keep being reminded we need to leave haha! We were pleased to have a change of scenery for the last night as there's only so many times we could walk around our area in Levi... What a one off experience After reading the documentation in the Igloo we understood why the bed was separate mattresses, because they lift up so that you can angle yourself to see the lights better, a very novel idea! Oh and we saw the lights again that night. The restaurant was wonderful and the surrounds there at the Igloos are just stunning. We were pleased to find out our booking had breakfast included! A brilliant holiday, thank you so much. A perfect Honeymoon!

Really pleased with what Karen and the team arranged for us. All of our transfers were smooth and perfect, everything was thought out and planned for us with care by yourselves.

we had a magical Santa experience, a holiday of a lifetime. We and our 5 year old twins had the time of their lives as did their Grandparents. Ski Lapland made the whole experience relaxed and effortless for us and every part of the trip was superb. The flexibility to add days skiing to the end of the trip was the icing on the cake and we would absolutely recommend Ski Lapland.

Superb, reliable, friendly and relaxed. Nothing was too much trouble.

Our trip to Lapland got off to a poor start when the flight was delayed by over 2 hours with us sitting on the plane at Manchester Airport. However, once we took off everything else ran like clockwork. We were met at Kuusamo Airport by our holiday rep and taken to our resort which was lovely. Our apartment was perfect as it overlooked the ski-runs and was within walking distance of restaurants and shops. All of our activities were well organized and great fun. My 5 year old daughter and I especially loved the dog-sledding. Meeting Father Christmas was as much fun for me as it was her! Three days wasn't long enough to spend in such a beautiful place.

SkiLapland were very helpful and provided all of the information needed prior to travel. The representatives at the resort were friendly. Would definitely recommend using them to book a holiday to Lapland.

We travelled on the 23rd December and spent 4 nights in Ruka Cottages. Everything was brilliant and we all enjoyed all the activities from reindeer sleigh rides, husky sleigh rides, snowmobile safaris, ice karting and meeting Father Christmas, himself on Christmas Day was the icing on the cake. We had a variety of ages from 5,11 and 14 and this Ski Lapland holiday was perfect for this, very personal and not gimmicky or commercial. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend! All activities were organised to perfection. We also had a days skiing and the hire of equipment was excellent service too. The only thing I would suggest is that as we were there over Christmas itself it would have been nice if the cottage had have had some Christmas decorations but to be honest you were hardly inside so it did not matter, just would have been a nice touch!

Absolutely brilliant! Best Christmas ever! Great communication from the word go and very personal service. The organisation of all the transfers and activities were exceptional. The guides for the activities were very personable and attentive too. A wonderful holiday in every way, We all want to come again!!

From the moment we arrived in Lapland we were taken care of by the SkiLand land representatives fantastically. The accommodation was fantastic and all the trips were run superbly. The small groups we went out to see Santa and go on Husky rides and reindeer rides were brilliant!

SkiLapland were fantastic - I would highly recommend

We were a family group of 7 adults and 4 young children that travelled to Lapland, mainly to see Santa Claus. We travelled one day, had 2 full days in Ruka, then returned on the 4th day. The cabin accommodation was cosy and warm. The log fire had been lit for our arrival, our supper was waiting for us, and there was even a xmas tree ready to decorate. All our meals were brought to our cabin as requested. The organized activities we had booked were great for everyone. As it was so cold, it was very nice to be given lots of hot food and drinks on the activities. Well organized. Everything went according to plan with no problems at all. Everyone said it was an amazing experience.

The Ski-Lapland agent that looked after our booking was very helpful indeed, and ensured that everything we asked for was taken care of. She answered all my e-mails and queries promptly. She made me feel very confident that the trip would be good, and indeed it was.

We spent a week in Finnish Lapland enjoying several nordic winter sports - downhill skiing, cross country skiing, ice karting etc. Lapland offers a much better range of things to do compared to popular ski resorts in Western Europe which offer a more limited choice of activities.

Ski Lapland have got it right - someone around if you need help but leave you to enjoy your holiday at your leisure.

all went fine
