I'm off next week to Lapland with my family, so I will hardly be on here, I can here the Cheers now

Anyone been there?

Any advice?

Blimey Annis you do get about never been but know people who have and they really enjoyed. Have a good time. P.s those northern lights are different shades of blue

Yes, I have been in Finnish Lapland in summer and winter - beware, it is very expensive and very cold, but I guess you know that already. It is also very beautiful. I assume that you are going to Saariselka area? If so, there is usually good skiing there as well as lots of other winter sport type things and wilderness excursions. Get ready to eat lots of reindeer and mashed potato, which is actually delicious. I am sure you will enjoy it enormously

You only live once.

I am doing this for daughters before they get older as I have a young family, always talked about it, but never gone there till now.

Yes I am hoping to see the Northern Blue lights not always guaranteed.

I have heard it will be freezing beyond

The expense, when you get there, I have wondered?

Flying in to Kittila airport and from there my Wife booked the three nights stay.

They say theres Skiing there and plenty of sports.

So the food is good?

Looking forward to the Reindeers and Huskies


Thanks

Annis, Scandinavia renowned for its expensive goods and beer is extortionate to the point you'll never moan about CCS prices again! LOL

Accommodation is usually good, as is the food and there are opportunities to ski and snow-board. A sleigh ride and a trip on a Ski-Doo are great for the family!

You're right about it being very cold though, so take very warm clothing and be a bit patient re the Northern (Blue) Lights, as things change rapidly either way over there. A few years ago, I went to look two nights in a row and had just about given up when they almost appeared from nowhere. Mind you. it was 1:30am, so be warned!

So much to do and so little time! Have great time and don't forget your wish-list for Santa!

Thank you Chris, for the advice and it sounds good, though compared to Mallorca it will be Ice and very expensive.

Its more for the girls

You will probably be paying around 10 Euros for a beer [Lapin Kulta is the best] - in Finnish it is Yksi Olut [1 beer], Keksi Oluta [2 [beers] but that is the limit of my Finnish apart from Kaatos [Thank you]. The food is good, hearty stuff if a bit repetitive. You should expect it to be around - 15/-20 at night and around -5 in the day time. But if the sun is out, it can actually feel quite warm even well below zero. You probably won't have time with three days, but Lake Inari is also well worth a visit.

I'm getting as excited as the Kids

As to drinking, thankfully We won't be drinking to much as we do that in Mallorca, We booked half-board

Be interested to know how that goes Annis as considered taking my 2 boys this year, they only 4 and 6 so will prob go in next few years. Heard it’s amazing, short walk through giant candle lit forest to log cabins in the woods with reindeers tied up outside each cabin, wood fires already going inside and loads of food. A lot of money for 3 days but you only live once, enjoy the magic I say....

We are going for a week next Su day staying in Levi, love the place been to Lapland 5 tines now Levi, Yllas and Rovaniemi! Kids love it but so do we so you’ll have a great time, strange to say but it doesn’t seem that cold when you’re all wrapped up anyway! Enjoy

Goats, I agree very expensive to go for three nights, but as you say you only live once. I've never been there and actually excited for my family and me now

I will tell you all about it on here and a few photos, after I get back
