Q: WE ARE A GROUP OF FRIENDS? HOW CAN WE ENSURE TO STAY TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM/APARTMENT? DO WE NEED TO BOOK THE TRIP TOGETHER?
A: There's no need to book the trip together, as we provide a possibility to chose your roommates before the departure. Latest by one week before departure, you will receive an email containing information about the trip-specific accommodation arrangements and the possibility to choose with whom you want to share your apartment/room with. If you don’t receive this email, check your spam folder, ask your friends to share it with you or contact our Customer Service Team. Please note that if you have one booking including several people, only the person who made the booking will receive the email!

Q: WHAT IF THERE'S NO SNOW?
A: The reason we use North Lapland as the location of our main destinations is that according to long-term statistics, there is enough snow starting from mid-November in order to organise all the winter activities. Unfortunately, global warming may cause weather anomalies also in the North, especially by delaying the beginning of winter. In the unlikely event that the snow is not deep enough for certain activities, we will offer an alternative activity or refund for the activity, which was not able to be conducted. During January-March it is highly unlikely, that there wouldn't be any snow.
Q: SHOULD I GO TO LAPLAND IN FALL OR SPRING SEMESTER?
A: We recommend you travel to Lapland in February, March or early April for two reasons - during springtime, there are more sunlight and more snow. During the fall semester, there may be less snow, especially in November and early December. Additionally, the shorter periods of daylight impose certain restrictions on the schedule such as having to get up early in the morning.
