Lapland - Everything You Need To Know Before You Book
Conexo Travel have been helping families experience the magic of Lapland for many years, and no one knows it better than our very own Lapland expert, Emma. Fresh from her latest trip, she has put together a brand-new video that answers the questions families ask us the most – from flights and accommodation to activities, clothing, food and evening fun.
Lapland Flights and keeping kids happy
In the video, Emma starts by talking about the journey from the UK to Lapland and what to expect on board with the Santa trips. She explains how long the flight typically takes, how the time passes quickly with festive touches, and how the kids are kept entertained so the excitement starts before you even land in the snow.
She also shares useful tips on preparing children for an early start, what to bring in their hand luggage, and how the magical atmosphere on the flight sets the tone for the whole Lapland adventure.
Lapland Accommodation
Next, Emma moves on to what the accommodation is really like once you arrive in Lapland. She describes the cosy, welcoming feel of the hotels and cabins, and how they are set up with families in mind, from warm interiors to convenient locations close to activities.
She talks about the type of facilities you can usually expect – such as drying areas for snow gear and comfortable communal spaces – and how staying somewhere snug and homely makes all the difference after a day out in the snow.
Lapland Activities & What To Wear
One of the highlights of Emma’s video is her run-through of the activities typically included on a Lapland trip. She explains the excitement of snowshoeing through the silent forests, the magic of reindeer sleigh rides, the thrill of husky safaris, and the adventure of snowmobiling through the snowy landscape.
Emma also reassures viewers about the specialist equipment you are given on arrival, such as thermal suits and boots, and then goes into practical detail about what clothing to pack from home. Layering, good gloves, warm socks and suitable base layers all get a mention, helping families feel confident they will stay warm and comfortable.
Food, Reindeer & Hot Berry Juice
Food is always a big question, especially for families, and Emma doesn’t shy away from it. She explains what the food is like in Lapland, from hearty, warming dishes to child-friendly options that even fussy eaters usually enjoy.
She also answers the question many people secretly want to ask: do they eat reindeer in Lapland? Emma talks honestly about traditional dishes, while reassuring viewers about the variety of options available so everyone can find something they are happy with. Along the way, she waxes lyrical about one of her favourite Lapland treats – hot berry juice – describing how it’s served steaming and sweet, and how it becomes a comforting ritual during breaks from the cold.
Evening Entertainment in Lapland & More Magic
To finish, Emma chats about what evenings in Lapland are really like once the daytime activities are over. She talks about the style of evening entertainment on offer, from relaxed family fun to festive events that keep the magic of Santa and the snow going long after sunset.
She gives a feel for the atmosphere – cosy, twinkling and full of anticipation – and helps families picture themselves rounding off their days with storytelling, games, maybe a glimpse of the night sky, and that ever-present cup of hot berry juice in hand.
If you are considering a Lapland holiday and want to know what it is really like, Emma’s video is the perfect starting point. Press play, hear it straight from our in-house Lapland expert, and start imagining your own family’s magical journey to the snow.
