Good to know
Before you travel
• Winter temperatures in Lapland range from 0 °C to as low as −30 °C, so proper winter clothing is essential.
• Thermal winter gear for snowmobiling and husky safaris is normally provided locally.
• The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings cannot be guaranteed — but Lapland offers excellent viewing conditions.
• Daylight is short in the Arctic in winter, which is exactly what makes the landscapes and the aurora viewing what they are.
• Snowmobile drivers must carry a valid driving licence during the excursion.
• Most winter activities are suitable for beginners and are led by experienced local guides.
