We were introduced to craftsmanship and culture local to the region, tried out various snow activities, and enjoyed local meals, including ingredients we never sampled before! Lapland made such a great impression on us. One word is enough to describe our time in the snowy landscape: fantastic! The long flight was totally worth the experience, and we are already looking forward to being back.”
