Christmas In Lapland

Christine Taylor on 25 December 2009
A Christmas Visit To Lapland and what a beautiful place it is too. We stayed at The Yllas Saaga Hotel which was beautiful. The rooms were beautifully clean and food was excellent! Our days were packed with exciting trips including Huskie Rides, Reindeer Sleigh rides, Snow Mobiles, Footbal on a frozen lake and a Christmas Day visit to Santa!! Staff in the hotel were really helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is excellent - right next to the Ski Slopes and a five minute walk to the cafe bars and shops. There is a cable car which takes you to the top of the mountain where you can enjoy a nice hot meal or drink. Take a look at the photos of the ice around the cable car station and the Cafe! Just be sure you have plenty of warm clothing as temperatures were down to 30- so wrap up well, We took a visit to the Ice Hotel which was amazing - each bedroom is differently designed and there is a Chapel and a real Ice Disco!! all the tables and the bar are solid ice - totally amazing.......... they redo this every year so it is well worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful in Lapland and I would recommend a three to four night break to enjoy all the trips properly.
