    Luosto Holidays

    On holidays to Luosto, you get Christmas all year round – fill your mug with mulled wine and keep a lookout for the Northern Lights.

    Winter wonderland

    Tucked into the hills of Lapland's Pyha-Luosto National Park, in northern Finland, Luosto's like the inside of a snow globe. There are practically more pistes than the 200 people who live here, not to mention reindeer roads and husky trails. From fairy tale woodlands to icy lakes, it's a natural beauty all year round.

    Dashing through the snow

    The national park's enormous, so you'll need a mode of transport that can handle the snow to get around it all. Hop aboard a sleigh pulled by reindeer or husky dogs and zoom through 200-year-old pine forests. It's not all wilderness though – there's also a local village with a few shops and eateries.

    Awesome auroras

    The skies of Lapland set the stage for the awe-inspiring Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. It's worth bundling up and braving the cold night for a chance to see this natural phenomenon – the dancing lights can shift from green to red to purple in an instant.

    Fly To Rovaniemi – Stay In Luosto

    Day 1

    After landing in Rovaniemi, you’ll make tracks north to Luosto where you’ll collect all your thermal kit. The rest of the day is then yours to explore the village and the surrounding snowy landscapes.

    Day 2

    You’ve got an action-packed morning in store, kicking off with tasters of snowmobiling, and husky and reindeer sleigh rides. You can then meet Santa’s elves, and try out activities like lasso casting. There’s also the opportunity to celebrate the crossing of the Arctic Circle. Later on, you’ve got the option of joining a full snowmobile adventure. If you go for the evening trip, you might spot the Northern Lights as you travel through the snow.

    Day 3

    It’s up to you what you get up to today. Strap on a pair of skis and try out the downhill or cross-country routes, race the kids on the toboggan slope, or build snowmen in the frosty fields. You can also book one of our experiences – reindeer safaris and husky rides are both on the menu. You’ve got a pretty exciting evening in store, too. You'll eat a special festive dinner that's topped off with a fireworks show, and get a private meeting with the man himself – Santa Claus.

    Day 4

    You’ll head for home today, but not before we’ve made one last stop – Santa Claus Village. Stock up on souvenirs at the artisan and handicraft shops, then pay a visit to Santa’s Main Post Office. It’s filled with children's letters from around the world – send one of your own, or order an official letter which Santa will post out before Christmas.

    Guests on 4-night trips will have extra free time to explore Luosto and its snowy surroundings.
