Yes, for € 79 per person you can add a rental package with thermal clothing. This includes thermal boots for the entire week, so you won’t need to bring snow boots. Additionally, you will receive a thermal overall/jacket and pants that you can wear over your own winter or ski clothing.
Important: Make sure to bring your own winter or ski clothing as well. Check out our packing list for an overview of everything you need to bring.
The rented clothing can be used for the entire week.
You can find all the info about the clothing on this page.
The best period is December to the end of March, depending on how 'extreme' you want to experience Lapland.
Northern Lights: Best chance December - March, but it remains a natural phenomenon and is not guaranteed.
Our travel program offers 7 day trips, each from Saturday to Saturday, with start dates from December 19th 2026 to March 13th 2027. We do not offer customized trips.
Whether meals are included depends on the accommodation you choose. On our pricing or destination page, you can clearly see—by opening the accommodation details—whether breakfast and dinner are included. Lunch is never included and should be arranged by yourself. If nothing is mentioned for the accommodation, then no meals are included.
No worries: you can always visit local restaurants or cook in your accommodation. All accommodations are equipped with a (kitchenette), so you can easily prepare your own meals.
Typical dishes in Lapland include reindeer, salmon (often in soup or smoked), potatoes, and blueberries. There are also plenty of international options available, including vegetarian and vegan meals.
During the trip, you'll mostly spend time with your own travel companions. Only the activities take place in groups of a maximum of 12 people, with the standard activities always happening in the same group and the optional activities often in different groups.
Additionally, we organize a few communal dinners or joint outings, but you get to choose how you spend your free time. Typically, the trip is booked by families and couples, but we also occasionally have solo travelers joining our trips.
Yes, you can simulate your full booking via this quote tool. If you want to finalize your trip, you can do so through this page. Just fill in the search bar on the left, choose your desired accommodation, and click on book now.
With your booking, you can choose to contribute to a certified climate project from Greentripper. Your contribution supports an initiative that consists of 11 local projects in Uganda that distribute more efficient cooking stoves.
These stoves significantly reduce fuel consumption, help combat deforestation, and improve indoor air quality for local families. The project is Gold Standard certified, ensuring the highest international standards for climate projects.
If you decide to contribute, Travelbase will also offset additional local emissions on-site. After your trip, you'll receive an official carbon credit certificate.

Are you looking for a similar adventure? Then the Kings Trail is a great alternative. This hiking trip through Swedish Lapland is ideal for active travellers who are looking for a bit more of a challenge and want to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings.
Discover the Kings Trail here.
You can add optional activities up to 45 days before departure for a guaranteed spot and the best price. It's not necessary to decide on this during registration, but it's recommended to book them in advance.
Please note that cancellations made after 45 days before departure are not eligible for a refund, as we will have already reserved and paid for a spot for you with our partners.
The weekly schedule includes the activities such as the husky safari, snowshoe hike, snowmobile tour, and the northern lights experience. You typically participate in one activity per day, leaving plenty of time to relax or explore on your own.
Optional activities are scheduled based on the standard activities and the practical organization of our partners. They may take place on the same day as an included activity, but of course, not at the same time.
Two weeks before departure, you will receive the final program. We aim to tailor the schedule as closely as possible to your preferences, while considering the availability of our local partners and the weather conditions.
Depending on your personal preference, you can add as many activities as you want, but we generally recommend booking 3 to 4 activities, otherwise it can get really busy. It's up to you how active you want your trip to be.
Note: once you book activities, we reserve a spot for you with our partners and pay for it. For this reason, it's not possible to cancel.
For the activities, you'll be divided into groups. For the standard activities, this group will stay the same throughout the week. We organize these groups based on age and the type of travel companions (couples, families, friends...) so that everyone feels comfortable.
The optional activities will usually take place with your regular group, but you might meet some new people along the way.
For each activity, you'll be picked up at your accommodation or walk to a nearby pickup point. From there, you'll be taken to the activity location. This will be done by our Lapland Travel guides or our local partner.
You will receive the exact pickup time and/or meeting point well in advance via the Travelbase chat, so you can be ready on time.
Our trips are supported by English-speaking guides who coordinate everything on-site and are available for questions or assistance. During the transfers and the activities themselves, you'll usually be accompanied by experienced, English-speaking local guides who handle the practical execution. So, the English-speaking guide may not always accompany you physically but will remain available as a point of contact throughout your stay.
Skiing is booked independently on site. Each ski area has different rates, but you can expect to pay around £50 for a day lift pass and about £60 for equipment rental.
We only recommend this if you're staying in Rovaniemi.
Staying in Luosto? Then we do not recommend visiting the Santa Claus Village. It's located more than 2 hours away, so you'll need a rental car. With at least 4 hours of travel time, you'll miss almost all the daylight (only about ~5 hours in winter).
A visit to the Santa Claus Village is definitely easy and worth it if you’re in Rovaniemi!
No, meals are not included during the activities. However, we do provide a small snack and a drink during most excursions. Want to bring your own extra food or drinks? That's totally fine! For some activities, like a hike, it's advisable to bring your own lunch. Our guide will give you daily tips on what’s best to bring.
No. Included activities cannot be exchanged for optional activities.
The standard activities are an integral part of the travel package and have no separate value. Therefore, it's not possible to swap them out, replace them with another activity, or receive a (partial) refund for them.
You are of course not obligated to participate in an activity. If you choose not to join or cancel an activity on-site (for example, for personal/physical reasons or pregnancy), it will still be part of the package and no refund will be possible.
Our activities are carefully curated as a whole, so deviations or refunds are not possible under any circumstances.
If you'd like, you can extend the snowmobile tour or add an extra husky tour on another day (depending on availability), but you'll need to book that on-site yourself.
In Lapland, you can expect a range of adventurous and unforgettable activities. Here are the activities that are included in your basic package:

To board, you only need your UK passport and the flight tickets, which you will receive from us 14 days before departure. Make sure that the information you enter during booking matches the information on your passport.
Some of our flights might not be public yet as they are too far in the future.
The name you provide must be the official name as it appears on your passport. So no nicknames.
Bedding and towels are always included in your booking. You will only receive 1 set of towels per person for the entire week, so feel free to bring an extra towel for use in the sauna.
It really depends on the accommodation. You can always find the distances listed on the detail page for each type of lodging.
In each area, you can easily hire a taxi to get around.
Your stay is always completely private. We will never place you with other guests in the same accommodation.
No. Once you have paid the full travel amount, there are no additional costs associated with the accommodation.
We do ask that you treat the accommodation with care and leave it tidy. Any damage, breakage, or excessive mess during your stay will be charged by the accommodation provider and passed on to you. The costs can add up significantly.
Therefore, we count on everyone to take responsibility for leaving the place in good condition.
Rovaniemi: Breakfast is included in the Santa Claus Chalets and Reindeer Lodges. Half board is also available for both accommodations at an additional cost.
In our short stay formula, breakfast is also included, with the option to add dinner at an extra cost.
You can find the full description of your accommodation by clicking to open it. All the information about the amenities is listed here.
There is a coffee maker available by default for brewing filter coffee. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials, such as spices, dish soap, a microwave, a stove, an oven, cutlery, and more.
Additionally, almost every accommodation features a private sauna, sometimes shared. A fireplace is present in some accommodations (check the accommodation information for details).
Yes, it is possible to add a one-night stay in a glass igloo or glass cabin.
In Luosto, the price is €750 per night for two people, including breakfast and dinner.
In Rovaniemi, we do not offer this option, as the price of a glass igloo there is very high and can exceed €1,000 per night. Of course, you are welcome to book this accommodation directly yourself if you wish.
Our guide will provide you with all the necessary information about the address, check-in, check-out, and other practical details. Upon arrival, you will receive clear instructions to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Keep in mind that you might not be able to check in right away upon arrival. In most accommodations, check-in is only possible in the late afternoon (usually around 5 PM, sometimes later).
If you booked your flights through us, we'll make sure your luggage is safely stored in a designated area. In the meantime, we'll take you to the city center, where you can relax and grab a bite to eat or explore the area a bit.
This way, you can start your stay in a relaxed manner, even if the accommodation isn’t immediately available.
Yes, children are welcome, but keep in mind that there are age restrictions for certain activities. Children under 4 years old cannot participate in some activities, and for others, there is a minimum age of 12 years. This means that an adult may sometimes need to stay behind.
Additionally, it's important to realize that young children may not be able to communicate as clearly whether they are cold. That's why we recommend this trip for children aged 6 and up, when they can participate more actively and better communicate their needs.
For children, we offer the following discounts on the standard package (standard activities, accommodation, and flight):
All extras such as clothing, insurance, and optional activities will still be charged for babies, preschoolers, and children.
Thermal clothing is available for children from the age of 6. For younger children, you'll need to provide the right clothing yourself. We recommend buying a thick thermal suit that your child can wear under their winter clothes.
During the early months of pregnancy, most activities are generally still possible. However, we recommend extra caution in later stages for snowmobile tours, snowshoeing, husky rides, and horseback riding. These activities can be bumpy and may involve unexpected movements, due to weather conditions and the state of the trails.
We always advise seeking medical advice from your doctor beforehand, as every pregnancy is different. If you wish to participate in more active activities, we recommend contacting us in advance and providing a medical certificate confirming that you can participate safely. Be sure to bring this certificate with you to Lapland.
Our local partners follow strict safety guidelines. They reserve the right to refuse participation or cancel an activity on-site if weather conditions, the state of the course, or other safety factors require it. Without medical approval, they cannot make exceptions. Safety is always the top priority.
If you choose not to participate in certain included activities, this remains part of the package. Included basic activities cannot be exchanged or refunded under any circumstances.
If desired, you can choose to book extra, more relaxed activities, such as a visit to a reindeer farm, snow village, etc. These activities are optional and are in addition to the package.
No, unfortunately we don't offer daycare. If your child cannot participate in a certain activity, you need to arrange supervision yourself.
This trip is definitely suitable for those aged 60 and over, although this can vary from person to person. Some activities, like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snow cycling, do require a bit more physical effort, so a basic fitness level is recommended.
Our local guides always take the group into account and adjust the pace and level whenever possible, ensuring that everyone can participate in a pleasant manner.
For some activities, like cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, a basic level of fitness is recommended. You should be mobile, as the paths can be snowy and sometimes slippery. In deep snow, you might sink a bit here and there.
That said, this is not a physically demanding trip. The program is varied and laid-back, making it manageable for most people.
Unfortunately, the trip is not suitable for wheelchair users, as the infrastructure and activities on-site are not adapted for that.
Before your flight, it's important to wear comfortable clothing. Opt for a comfortable pair of pants, a top, and a fleece jumper. If it's cold, you can also wear thermal leggings under your pants. Make sure to stay warm by bringing a warm winter coat. Keep your hat and mittens in your carry-on for easy access.
The Kittilä airport is small, so you only have to walk a short distance to the shuttle bus. However, you might have to wait a bit upon arrival at your accommodation before you get access, so it's smart to dress warmly.
The thermal suit and the shoes are available to you from Sunday afternoon until Saturday evening. You'll keep the suit with you the entire time, so you can also wear it during your free time if you decide to go on an adventure in the evening to spot the northern lights.
For certain activities, it's crucial to wear the suit, but the guides will always make this clear on-site. For example, it's important to wear the suit for the husky safari and the snowmobile tour. Because of the speed and sitting still, you can quickly get cold. It's also best to wear the suit during the northern lights expedition.
Yes. You need to wear the thermal suit over your clothes, and it provides extra protection against the cold and wind. The thermal suit does not replace your own winter jacket and pants. In cold temperatures, it's best to also wear your jacket underneath the suit, and possibly your pants as well. The suit is intentionally looser than your regular clothing.
For certain activities like snowshoe hiking and cross-country skiing, the suit can feel too warm quickly. If you start to sweat, that sweat can freeze, and then you'll get cold. That's exactly what you want to avoid. So for the hike and cross-country skiing, it's important to wear your own winter jacket and pants.
If you rent thermal clothing, snow boots are included. These are waterproof, insulated, and suitable for the local climate.
Some travellers find the snow boots too bulky and prefer to bring their own extra shoes, like waterproof hiking shoes or sturdy ankle boots.
If you do not rent thermal clothing, it is important to bring waterproof and insulated shoes.
We offer shoes up to UK size 15 (EUR size 50). For thermal clothing, this goes up to size XXL. It's important that you provide your sizes correctly in your profile, so we can check and set aside the sizes in advance.
Please indicate the sizes you usually buy at home. Upon arrival, you'll have the chance to try on your thermal suit and shoes and possibly change sizes.
Even if you don't rent a clothing package, thermal clothing is provided during our activities.
Of course! You can find our packing list here.
