Cost of lapland?

[jenna288]

Can anyone give me an idea on cost of lapland for about 3 nights around christmas time? 2 adults and 2 children. I've done lots of disney planning but dont know where to start with this one!

We were due to go on 9th dec last year , for 4 nights with santas workshop, husky ride ,sleigh ride, reindeers and a day skiing , and a ski doo ride .in a log cabin worked out at 1300 pp including flights self catering that was with dream of lapland, some looked cheaper but by the time you added everything on, these worked out better.
They refunded us within 2 weeks when it was cancelled
That included your outdoor clothing and boots too

TUI tend to package things up so that you get the above with optional excursions built into an itinerary. We paid about £1k each for the 3 of us a few years ago for 3 nights staying in a hotel with a big lagoon style pool on a half board basis. We stayed at Holiday Club Kuussamon. Quite nice on site bar and a very big Angry Birds play area (chargeable). It was the year we were sweating whether it would be on or not because they hadn’t had as much snow as usual.

We did it on the “cheap.”
Flights to Helsinki £500 (for four)
Overnight train (which the kids loved!) £400ish
1 night at Santa Claus holiday village £300

Then we paid for the other things (reindeer ride/ice bar/Santa etc) out of pocket and spent £1000 in two days.😩 But the kids loved it. DS 6ish ran up to Santa who was just walking around, gave him a big hug and asked for snow for Christmas. Two days after we got home, it snowed. I’m sure this is why he “believed” until we had to tell him in Year 7.

We only did it this way though because we have family in Helsinki. We were going there for two weeks at Christmas and this was part of the trip.

We did it “on the cheap” too by booking an Inghams ski holiday then all the extras independently, full sessions of activities not just the tasters that some companies include.
All in, absolutely everything including the specialist clothes we bought, train to Manchester, airport hotel, all activities, food and night in a glass igloo, it was £6000 for 7 nights for 2 adults and 2 kids over new year 2014/15.
We could’ve gone for 3 or 4 days for around £3500 to 4,000 but wouldn’t have done half the stuff we did.
There were some good planning forums on tripadvisor. We went to Levi.

We went in 2018 with Santa's Lapland. 3 adults & 2 children for two nights in Saariselka was £4,100
That included all trips/excursions and food. Flights from Birmingham.
It was the best money we ever spent

One thing to add, if lapland is out of your budget, have you looked at lapland uk? It's near Windsor, we did it just before the december lockdown when our real lapland was cancelled.
It cost approx £100 each but it was brilliant, definitely worth a look
