From snowmobile safaris to husky sledding and watching the Northern Lights, Swedish Lapland is a playground for winter adventures. During a short snow holiday this winter, you can pack in an array of activities and still find time to relax and unwind in the snow.
Experience it over four days on an unforgettable snow holiday, where you'll stay in a cosy hotel with two saunas, indoor Jacuzzi and lounge bar, spend plenty of time outdoors and (hopefully) spot those dancing green lights in the sky.
