The week is a mixture of activities, snowshoeing, dog sledding, reindeer’s and forest skiing through the amazing arctic wilderness. You stay in a chalet and eat and have talks in a main building. The hosts are all amazing as is the food.

Top 5 Winter Activities on Lapland Holidays
Lapland Winter Holidays
The remote wilderness of Swedish Lapland is a wonderful place to experience a range of exciting winter activities, including dog sledding through the forest, ice fishing for supper, and snowshoeing across the frozen rivers in search of the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. Our Lapland holidays are filled with exciting adventures that guide you through glistening winter wonderlands to the heart of this magical region.
Performing the greatest light show on earth, the Northern Lights are visible above 65 degrees north, and the snowy wilds of European Lapland are an excellent viewing spot. Although there’s no guarantee you’ll see the elusive Aurora Borealis on Lapland tours, at Exodus, we guide you to the best vantage points. The Northern Lights are most often witnessed between the months of September and April when the nights are at their darkest.
Throughout our holidays to Lapland, we stay in cosy accommodation in the most beautiful locations at the centre of Swedish Lapland. Rajamaa is a fabulous place where traditional wooden chalets sprinkle the island in the Muonio River. During the week we will travel by snowmobile out into the bay to experience this amazing natural phenomenon.
Every moment of our Lapland trips is packed with adventure and as well as learning about the Sami culture and sampling the local delicacies, you’ll also experience the untamed nature where dense forests and immense rivers dominate the landscape on this winter holiday.

Sally Gray Arctic Circle Aurora Adventure
Amanda Sleight Arctic Circle Aurora AdventureWhat a fantastic week , full of excitement and plenty of adventure . The Northern lights came out within a couple of hours of us arriving and our trip was off to an amazing start. We had great fun out snow shoeing , this place is hard to describe you are on an island , surrounded by trees and snow . It’s is so peaceful there was nobody else here but the group and the air is so clean and dry. The reindeer ride to the Sami house went on for over an hour each way , and we gained lots of insight into the lives of the Sami people . The dog sledding was truly amazing and we were out for a few hours without meeting anyone, cutting across lakes of fresh snow. Finally the forest ski trip and an overnight stay to sleep in the forest hut was a true delight -30 with a couple of log burners to keep us warm and cutting the ice to access water from the lake , miles away from anywhere. Lars had non stop information on the wildlife and the local area , each night we had an interesting talk on a different predator – bear, wolverine etc
C and G J Arctic Circle Aurora AdventureWhat a fantastic trip, we arrived and saw the aurora on the first night. The rest of the trip never failed to disappoint. It was an amazing group, a fabulous mix of activity, combined with a great landscape and the stunning northern lights. The mix of activities kept us busy, exhilarated us, created some laughs and kept the fun going. We had done none before but enjoyed every moment, some challenged us but we quickly learnt a fall in the snow was like being in cotton wool! This was our first ‘snow’ or ‘cold’ trip and we’d encourage anyone to take the plunge!
