Lapland in Winter  – Fitness

• Expect temperatures ranging from –3°C to –15°C
• Guests should be steady on their feet in snowy and icy conditions, sometimes in low light
• Winter clothing (boots, jackets, layers) adds bulk and weight, which can make movement feel more strenuous
• Optional: boot spikes help with grip and stability

A single supplement from $2,999*pp is payable in addition to the twin share price for solo occupancy.
