Travelling with a local operator
This holiday is operated by a company based in the holiday destination and they will be able to provide expert local knowledge. They will be able to tailor make your holiday to suit your requirements not only concerning the dates of travel but also typically the standard of accommodation, and thus price. It is rare for local operators to be able to help with the booking of your flights.

Flights/trains at Xmas & New Year
For the Christmas and New Year period you need to book your flights or train tickets early to ensure availability and good value for money. Travel to Lapland around the holidays fills up very quickly and is normally difficult to get affordable flights by October. Scandinavian Airlines www.flysas.com, and Norwegian, www.norwegian.se, offer direct flights from Stockholm Arlanda airport to Kiruna. SJ, www.sj.se, offers train tickets from Stockholm to Kiruna. Travel through Kittilä in Finland is also possible.

How Cross country skiing in Lapland makes a difference

We are a small local company working together with other local companies in an area with otherwise few work opportunities.

Ecology and environmental awareness is the theme for this trip and our hope is that participants gain an appreciation and real understanding for the local nature. Travelling silently by ski is the best way to explore the wilderness with minimal disturbance to wildlife. Small group size, two to eight participants, is also a way in which we minimize our disturbance to the local nature. We practice a leave no trace policy in all outdoor activities.

Our guides and hosts are from our area and inform about and encourage awareness and appreciation for the local culture and the environment.

Our guesthouse is a traditional timber building that has been restored with natural materials and includes dry compost toilets and a waste water recycling system. The house is heated with wood pellets, a renewable energy source. Guests are provided with healthy food, locally and organically grown whenever possible.

The most memorable part of the holiday has to be seeing the Northern Lights from our wilderness cabin. We had the most amazing display at midnight one evening and stood just outside the cabin watching the dancing lights. (read full review)

Excellent. My final words to the owners, Mikael and Maya, were "Don't change anything!"...We travel a lot and have all shapes and sizes of holidays, good and not so good. This one was faultless and good value for money. Also an extraordinary Northern Lights display one night. (read full review)

It's difficult to imagine how it could have been better. The accommodation and food (even for non-vegetarians!) is excellent and the Refuge has that quality you can't buy - warmth, hospitality and atmosphere. We spent our time skiiing, watching for the Northern Lights and on a fine husky dog sledding expedition. (read full review)
