Sweedish Lapland vs Finnish Lapland

[merlinsmum]

We loved Yllas, it was magical. Can’t compare to other places as we’ve only been there in Lapland. Would love to go back

We’ve been to Levi and Ruka- both absolutely magical. Levi was more of a Santa trip with a then 7yo, Ruka was more skiing ( but both are ski resorts).I’d say Ruka smaller perhaps.
In all fairness, both were amazing holidays and I’d gladly go either again xx

We are hoping to go to Ruka in 2022. Not in December because the cost was just too high. We are mainly going for snow. We may ski, we may not. Any tips or advice?

We did Santa visit, husky mushing, reindeer sledding, Snowmobiling, night in a glass igloo, visit to ice hotel, session in water world which has pool, slides, outdoor hot tubs, private ski lesson and days hire of ski equipment, and lots of sledging (they are free all around the village and at kids land sledge slope) and were there over new year and they had fireworks over the ski slope.
Absolutely beautiful and magical, the northern lights were active but sky was cloudy so we never saw them. We didn’t go hunting for them though as kids were too young to stay awake that late.
I booked all trips independently through either inghams or the Levi tourist office.

We had that exact holiday booked for 27th Dec 2020-4th Jan 2021..as you can guess it was fully cancelled. We watched the NYE fireworks in Levi on a live cam, they looked brilliant. The place looks magical, we were so sad when it was cancelled..one day..🤞🤞🤞
