Finland Offers Ultimate Winter Wonderland

Flights to both Ivalo and Kittila are available with a number of airlines

Whilst snow may have hit much of Britain, those looking for the ultimate winter wonderland should look to Finland's Lapland. Lying above the Arctic Circle, hundreds of miles of wild Finnish landscape lies untarnished and offers the perfect retreat for those wanting to enjoy snowy scenery and a magical holiday.

A number of airlines offer flights to the airports in the region, including those of Ivalo and Kittila. Providing an easy way to access this glorious landscape, a range of services can be found from London, offering variety for those wanting luxurious travel to magical Lapland. The region itself has a number of different accommodation options, ideal for families or solo travellers.  If you are looking for a romantic getaway, how about a renovated cotton mill nestled on the shore of Nasijarvi Lake.  This is a beautiful modern hotel in a traditional setting and in addition to its guest rooms it provides a luxurious spa and holiday apartments. Exploring nature trails or ice fishing are popular attractions, whilst enjoying roaring fires by night will ward off the coldest of temperatures. Meanwhile a little village setup next to Uro Kekkonen is snug and cosy retreat. And with thick snow and ice the only mode of transport that will be needed is a sleigh or a pair of skis.

For anyone who enjoys beautiful scenery, iconic Scandinavian attractions, and winter getaways, Lapland is ideal. And with many Christmas themed events also being offered it is a perfect holiday for all of the family and one that will be remembered for a lifetime.
