 Poster: A snowHead
|
probably should have written here instead. Just posted a message about lapland and Scandinavia in the Apres section. To sum up, I want to spend a week in lapland or similar location, doing all the usual skidooing, dog sledging, reindeer sledging, tobogganing, skiing. Only brochures I have found do three day trips but nothing for 5 or more days that doesn't involve a massive car excursion all over the place. Just want to have lots of fun in the snow.Any ideas?
Cheers
Zoe

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

zoe, we've covered Riksgransen (in the Swedish Arctic Circle, with lots of Lapland stuff) from time to time. If you go there in May you can ski in the midnight sun. Type 'Riksgransen' into the search (top left 'User Facilities') and you should get plenty to read. This place is right on the border with Norway (which is only a few miles wide at that point), so you have ready access to beautiful fjords if you want to see some great coastline too.
You can fly up there via Stockholm and Kiruna.
Finland also has ski resorts in the Arctic Circle with other stuff to do, but I've not been there. Once again, do a search because I think we've had some relevant threads.

Hi Zoe, I'm going to Iceland in April (for reasons unrelated to skiing), and a couple of months back posted a query on skiing there. A big fat zero replies so far!  Perhaps some newer snowHeads have some information.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Zoe, it's not Lapland but Are, the biggest ski area in the Nordics, have got a lot of these sorts of non-skiing activities as well. Remember if you're going to Lapland, you're better off waiting a couple of months for some light and a little 'lighter' temperatures, too...
