On the Lapland Experience short break, we venture into the heartlands of the Sami territories, the land that for thousands of years has been traversed by the indigenous nomadic tribes as they herd their reindeers. On this short break, you will meet some of the local herders and hear about their remarkable way of life. And in this land of magical snowfall, ice-laden arctic terrain, and Narnia-like forests, you can enjoy some of the most exhilarating activities available in this unique part of the world. This short break is sure to include some unforgettable experiences: whether it's the Two Countries snowmobile journey, the Cross Country Skiing opportunities, or the night in an igloo, all included in your programme, or some of the spectacular optional activities, like trying your hand at ice fishing, or heading out in search of the Northern Lights on an evening husky safari.
