In a year without precedent – and after the washout that was 2021 – what better way to excite the whole family, from the little ones to parents and grandparents alike, than a family trip to Lapland, a truly magical way of awakening the Christmas spirit within all of us. Santa’s homeland is magical mix of fairy tales, adventure and Christmas spirit all in a storybook setting. Snow-dusted pine forests, cosy log cabins and more reindeer than people, all add to the magic that is a Tui family trip to Lapland.Not only will you have something to look forward to, you will make magical memories to last a lifetime.
Whether you opt for the fun-loving town of Levi or the laid-back village of Yllas, the Kittilä area promises dramatic scenery and exciting snow sports in grand proportions. A couple of hours north of Rovaniemi, more than 100 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, the Kittilä region showcases the best of Lapland’s snow-coated scenery. White hills plunge into frozen rivers, forests give way to frosty marches and fields play host to wild reindeer. With all this on the doorstep, it’s no wonder snow sports are a top attraction here. Another draw of the Kittilä area is the Snow Village. This icy piece of architecture is re-built every year, and it counts an ice hotel and bar among its credentials.
