Attractions off the slopes include husky, reindeer or snowmobile safaris, visits to meet Santa, and a chance to see the magical Northern Lights. Skiing amidst the silence of the fells in a mystical blue twilight with rose-coloured dawns and dusks will leave you with indelible images. By March and April daylight hours are longer than in the UK, temperatures rise and snow conditions are at their best.
Whichever time you visit you will be captivated by the untouched natural splendour of Lapland.
