This was our third SkiLapland holiday to Finland, and our second to Levi. As before the travel arrangements were smooth, we had all we needed at the airport and there was someone waiting for us to take us to the hotel despite a delay with our flight change at Helsinki. When this happened, Matt Nolan at SkiLapland was proactive in contacting us and sorting out the change in flights and the new transfer. All good. We had also changed our ski hire arrangements relatively late on and then had forgotten to print off what we needed to show the ski hire company. However this was easily sorted out too. Hotel apartment great, no hidden charges. Great experience. We didn't take any excursions this year - we did in previous years and they were great with personal service from Matt to make sure everything happened when it was supposed to and even organising individual tours and suggesting different things to try. Cant speak highly enough of SkiLapland. We only buy a package holiday when we ski and have relatively high expectations that things will run smoothly and these are always met.

Really responsive and helpful from initial enquiry to support in resort. Proactive, thinks ahead (got a call to remind us of a couple of things in advance, was ahead of the game when our transfer flight had to be changed due to inbound flight delays etc). Brilliant wouldn't use anyone else and recommend them to our friends which is always risky!

This place is magical! Gorgeous snow covered wood log cabins, really well appointed (wifi among other things), homely with a beautiful xmas tree to welcome us. All the cabins around were discreetly set away from each other and perfect for self catering if preferred. There is a really good restaurant a short walk away 'Kultala' which served great home cooked food. All the shops and places, even taxis, take cards so cash is not essential if you struggle to find a cash point. We travelled with SkiLapland.co.uk who were faultless. We did the reindeer and husky rides along with ice go-karting and snowmobile safari at night. The Santa experience was a huge hit with the kids and very relaxing for the adults. All the excursions were so professionally run and there was just so much to do. Top marks to Matt at Ski Lapland who looked after us we want to come again and soon! Not been to Finland before we loved it!

Very professional, friendly and outstanding.

Loved loved loved every minute of Trysil skiing. Everything was good about this holiday. Already booked to travel again next year!

Such an easy tour operator to deal with. No hassles at all!

We have a great family holiday in the resort of Trysil in Norway. The slopes and instruction for beginners was fantastic (who know my 4 year old would be able to ski from the top of the mountain after just 4 days of lessons). Perfect ski in/ski out resort for beginners/intermediates

skiNorway who we travelled with went over an above the cause to make sure we had a great break - even when we have to delay 2 of the flights due to our child getting a virus. The rep in the resort was in contact a few times a day to make sure there were no issues and everyone had what they needed. Would 100% recommend!

We had a fantastic trip which was really well organised!

They were very helpful and efficient!

We spend our holiday at the Park Inn Trysil in a 2 bed self catering unit, though booked half board with the hotel. As beginner skiers it was a perfect location, plenty of varying length green and blue runs with lifts enabling you to go down both sides and the mountains and get back to your starting location. The Ski Norway ski school was fabulous. Small classes and all English speaking. Everyone went down red runs before the end of the week. Would highly recommend for beginners.

Ski Norway provided a brilliant service. They were helpful in suggesting a location to holiday and then providing an individual quote to suit our needs. They supplied plenty of information before travelling and were very prompt at emailing answers to all sorts of sundry queries I put their way. On site they were always around before and after ski school and were on the end of the phone if you needed them at odd times.

Lapland is not a place for expert skiers looking for a challenging experience, but for families with young children, or if you want a snowy holiday in a land where the scenery is stunning and the people are polite, friendly, welcoming and give the best customer service I have ever experienced (including in the USA) the Finland is the place to go.

Ski Lapland were helpful and accommodating, all documentation arrived in good time and contact during the holiday was first class

Lapland was an impulsive choice when looking for somewhere else to ski in Europe. I did downhill and cross country skiing, snow shoeing and also the Husky dog sled ride and the reindeer sleigh ride. Ski Lapland also organised a couple of night time trips for me - one was a photographic session to learn how to photograph the night sky. The other was a snow shoe ramble again hopefully to spot the Northern Lights away from the influence of the village lights. The downhill slopes are wide and beautifully groomed. There was some nice runs between the trees and lots of runs above the tree lines. At Levi in particular, there are some spectacular runs amongst frozen, snow covered trees that provide a magnificent and unique landscape - the trip was worth it just for that. The x-country trails were plentiful, well marked and very pleasant. There was no shortage of opportunities to get out and ski. The husky dog sled ride and reindeer sleigh rides were very well organised and I did take the opportunity to ride my own sled / sleigh. The only disappointment was that it was difficult to get photos of myself driving the sled / sleigh because of the way the passenger sits in the vehicle. The other disappointment for me, was that the route was on a clearly prepared trail. I would have loved to do some genuine fresh tracks touring, but I understand that is not really possible with a tourist set up like this. The people were very friendly, the safety aspects followed and clearly demonstrated and the chance to chat with the operators to talk about the local culture was excellent. Also plenty of opportunity to feed and pet the animals both reindeer and huskies.

I was very happy with the holiday and the organisation from Ski Lapland. I thought you all did a fantastic job in organising everything and including everything I had asked for. The standard of accommodation and all the trips were of a very high standard. I also thought your welcome and introduction provided an excellent start to the holiday and I appreciated the extra time Matt gave me the following day to show me around the ski slopes and the village, to make sure that as someone on my own, I felt welcomed and also knew my way around. I have got some lovely photos, souvenirs and memories from the trip. I am thinking about returning one year in late Summer or Autumn as I would love to see the countryside enveloped in the colour of the changing seasons. But that will have to be a few years off I feel, as I have other places on my agenda for this year. I am certainly happy to recommend your company to any of my friends that express an interest in going to Lapland.

We had an amazing time in Norway and the snow was fantastic. We loved the Park Inn resort as it was relaxed and comfortable and there were options for everybody. The spa was a great addition to the holiday. We had great ski instruction from the ski school and the scenery was beautiful. A good range of slopes as well.

Ski Norway were professional from start to finish and our holiday was great. Thank you Ski Norway!

Excellent
