The most memorable part was the sled trip with our own dogs - magical - out there in the wilderness with a dog team.

Matt and Caroline made arrangements for us to ride, snowshoe and ski. We had never skied before and had thought that we were too old to try. However we went and took a couple of lessons and we loved it.

All of our stay was wonderful although if I had to select some highlights I would say that the husky tour, seeing the Northern Lights and meeting Santa in his cottage stood out . The latter was magical and really got us into the Christmas spirit.

I would identify the ice fishing on Lake Mutusjarvi as the most memorable part
of my trip to Finnish Lapland for the sheer whiteness and silence of the
environment.

Being in the Arctic environment was a truly memorable experience - the stillness, the frosted beauty of the landscape, the sense of awe at how Nature simply is as it is. Snowmobiling through the white and silver forest was both thrilling and humbling.

All of it......was a fantastic way to spend Christmas with our 8 year old daughter. If I had to say one thing....I guess dog sledding on Christmas Day.

We all had a fantastic time and have many wonderful memories. The service at the ice hotel was more than expected... It was one, if not the best holiday we have had. I would definitely book a holiday with you again and also do this type of holiday again. Thank you for all the help you have given us.
