Plan a Mom Getaway in Lapland for the Ultimate in Relaxation and Fun

Where to Stay in Lapland

There are an abundance of hotels, hostels, cottages, and Airbnb’s to choose from when you are taking a vacation in Lapland. However, if you truly want to make this a memorable vacation for the books, you must consider an accommodation that is out of the box.

My favorite accommodation for a mom getaway in Lapland is one of the igloos. You can choose an igloo made of ice or glass. The igloos made of glass are much warmer thanks to the electric heaters. And yet, you still get the feel of sleeping in an igloo where there is nothing but glass between you and the beautiful surroundings.

While the igloos come complete with a bathroom and small kitchen, the best part is they are excellent for viewing the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own bed.

Another stunning winter option would be staying inside a snow hotel within a snow village. The hotel is rebuilt every year with a new theme. While the scenery may be different each year, the ambiance never is. So, if you decide to make a vacation in Lapland a tradition, you can return to enjoy the ice chapel, ice restaurant, and ice bar.

If an igloo or snow hotel isn’t on your list, you can always consider a treehouse hotel. A room in a treehouse would be perfect for summer nights when you can sit outside amongst nature.

Weather in Lapland

So, I already mentioned that the sun shines all day and night during the summer. And winter is full of darkness. But what about the weather for your mom’s getaway in Lapland? What should you expect depending on the time of year you visit?

Well, Lapland appears to have eight seasons instead of the traditional four! Yet, to keep things simple, let’s talk about the main seasons of the region.

The winter months bring a coating of snow, creating a majestic winter wonderland. Those are the months you will want to visit if you have been dreaming of white powdery snow everywhere.

The spring brings slightly warmer weather, and yet, you can still ski and snowshoe. Once summer hits, the snow will be mostly gone under the never-ending shining sun. You can experience the beauty of Lapland all day and night, but the Northern Lights will never appear. That alone is one reason to schedule your visit for another time of the year.

The fall in Lapland brings brilliant rustic colors. It is an excellent time to hike and explore while capturing the countryside in photographs to share with friends back home.

Thrilling Activities for a Mom Getaway in Lapland

Your kids may think you are boring because, well, all moms are, especially if the kids are teenagers. But you can easily have a blast during your mom’s getaway in Lapland, thanks to all the thrilling activities that are available. I guarantee you can pack your days completely with exciting activities. And when nighttime comes, you can choose whether to keep going. Or crash for one of the best night’s sleep you’ve had in a long time!

I recommend beginning with a little husky sledding. After all, you know you won’t be able to resist the cuddly dogs! During the winter months, you can venture out on safari as the dogs take you to see some incredible scenery.

If you happen to visit during the warmer summer months, then a visit to the husky kennel is still advised. And don’t worry; when you visit the kennel, you will walk away with a wealth of information. That is when the dogs start to prepare for the following winter, so it is all about training, relaxing, and having fun.

No mom can vacation in Lapland and not take advantage of the fabulous sauna experiences! There are numerous saunas in Lapland. I would recommend visiting numerous saunas, so you can experience all the different forms. The reason for this is the wooden and smoke saunas are much different than the electric and ice saunas.

Remember, as a mom, you deserve a little time to yourself. A visit to a sauna is an excellent way to unwind and relax, as you have this time away from the hustle and bustle of real life.

Other thrilling activities you must do during your mom getaway in Lapland include:

• Skiing
• Snowshoeing
• Bicycle riding
• Cruises
• Quad bike rides
• Reindeer-pulled sleigh rides

Amazing Attractions to Visit in Lapland

One of the most popular attractions to visit in Lapland is Santa Claus Village. You may not have your kids with you during your vacation in Lapland. But that doesn’t mean that the kid in you can’t come out for a little bit!

During your visit, you can get into the Christmas spirit while walking through the village and checking on the reindeer. Plus, don’t forget to give Santa your children’s (and your) wish lists.

The Levi Ice Gallery is a phenomenal place to visit during the winter months. The six-kilometer trail takes you on an adventure to see multiple ice-carved sculptures. The gallery is next to the restaurant, so you can easily grab a bite to eat and a drink during your adventure.

The Luosto Amethyst Mine is only open during the summer months. Therefore, if you want this on your Lapland itinerary, we must plan your vacation there accordingly. When you are not mining for amethyst, you will find yourself staring out at the view of Pyhä-Luosto National Park.

Tips for Visiting Lapland on a Mom Getaway

There are a few things you must know before you begin to plan your mom’s getaway in Lapland. The tips I like to share the most include:

• Choose the town you are staying in carefully. I always recommend choosing what you want to do during your vacation in Lapland and then choosing where you will stay. This will ensure you are not traveling great distances every day to check everything off your itinerary.
• Always pack wisely for your mom’s getaway in Lapland! It can get cold in this part of the world, so you must make sure you pack warm clothing.
• Helsinki is near Lapland, so it is possible to combine a visit to these two destinations for your mom’s getaway.

All moms need time away from home, and Lapland is the perfect mom getaway destination! I can easily help you plan a vacation in Lapland that gives you everything you want and so much more. And trust me when I say you will be more than ready to tackle the challenges that will be waiting for you back at work and home when your vacation is over!

Oh, and if you don’t want to take the entire family with you, maybe a girl’s trip to Lapland is exactly what you need for your next vacation!

4 Spectacular Nights in Lapland 

Day One 

After a flight from home to the Rovaniemi airport in Finland, you will be more than ready to be driven to your hotel. There are a couple of different types of accommodations available in Lapland for your family vacation. However, if you really want this trip to be memorable, I recommend staying in one of the glass igloos. Those igloos are perfect for viewing the Northern Lights at night.  

After you are all checked in, you can explore a little before heading out on a reindeer safari. A few of the reindeer from the farm will be waiting to take you on a sleigh ride. Hopefully the Northern Lights will be dancing overhead after this family adventure.  

Day Two 

After a late night, you may be ready to sleep in a little on day two of your vacation. You probably won’t be able to though if you decide to go ice fishing. And of course, you can’t skip an activity like this while in Lapland!  

After your ice fishing adventure, head back to your hotel and sit by the fire. This will allow your family to talk and share what they are loving about this time away from home.  

Day Three 

You may think that safaris are only available in Africa. But you can go on numerous safaris while on a family vacation in Lapland. Today’s adventure will take you out on snowmobiles, as you explore the forests. Stop whenever you can to take pictures of the frozen lakes and other majestic sights.  

Once your snowmobile safari is over, it will be time to head out on an ice floating experience. Simply lay down on a frozen lake and watch the magic that appears in the sky overhead.  

Day Four 

Today’s safari will be your family’s all-time favorite. This is because you will get to visit huskies. Some of the huskies will be hooked up to sleds. They are more than ready to take you through the forests.  

You will want to make sure you remember your camera for this one. The huskies are always ready to photobomb family pictures! 

Day Five 

You have now spent four nights together as a family in Lapland. That means you will be driven back to Rovaniemi airport today for your return flight home.  

The memories you make on a family vacation in Lapland will be priceless. You may even decide that you must spend more than four nights in this beautiful destination so you can do a few more activities with your family. And that is perfectly fine, because I can personalize your family vacation in Lapland, so it includes all the activities, as well as the time you need to accomplish them all.
