Discover the best things to do in Lapland
When you visit Santa's Lapland, there are lots of adventures to enjoy during your free time. The area's frozen lakes, enchanting pine forests, and endless snow provide a magical backdrop for the many exciting activities this otherworldly location offers.
Whether you're interested in the included and optional adventures provided or want to explore further, Lapland has many top attractions worth considering.
Here are some of the top places to visit if you find yourself with extra time to spare.
Europe’s Longest Toboggan Run
Tobogganing is one of the most popular winter sports for families, and Lapland is home to one of the longest toboggan runs in Europe. It's a whopping 1km long!
It's child-friendly, free to use and lots of fun for the whole family. Plastic toboggans can be picked up from your hotel (there may be up to a $2 charge to use these) and used wherever you’d like, but the dedicated toboggan run is a must-do in your spare time.
Walking winter trails
Walking on snowy paths and through the wilderness of Lapland is always a magical experience. Whether you want to walk or cross-country ski, there are plenty of opportunities in Lapland.
The routes are perfect for those who want to make the most of the snow and truly appreciate the enchanting scenery.
If the northern lights come out then you’ll get a great view of them here.
It’s in an area where there is no artificial lighting so it’s perfect for spotting the lights should they emerge.
What is the weather like in Lapland?
During the peak winter season, Lapland’s temperatures range from -16C to 3C. Sometimes it can even get as low as -30C, but don’t worry, the crisp air has a moderating effect on temperatures making it easy to stay warm and comfortable.
Plus, you’ll have your complimentary snowsuit, gloves and socks to keep you cosy and warm when you’re out and about when travelling with Santa’s Lapland. For a flawless packing list to make your Lapland stay extra snug, view our guide on what to wear and pack.
