Staff were lovely and friendly
A review of Luosto - Lapland Christmas Taster Week by Marian, Aled and Lisa ShinnickHotel staff were lovely and very friendly, especially the waiters. Our Artisan rep Greta was fabulous, nothing was too much for her. She organised games for Christmas Eve and notified the group when she saw the Aurora. Lovely bubbly personality. Cross-country skiing - a fun experience, magical setting, simply breathtaking.

I cannot recommend this holiday more - it was amazing!
A review of Luosto - Lapland Christmas Taster Week by Judith Owen & David MurphyThe information prior to the holiday was excellent. We travel extensively and we both feel it was the best holiday we have ever been on. We stayed in the Hotel Aurora which was a boutique style hotel, with incredibly friendly staff and prides itself on the quality of it's food, which was stunning! They gave us a mobile phone on arrival which would alert us to the northern lights, which we saw over…
Read more four nights - a real bucket list experience. We had activities most days and really enjoyed trying out a variety of different winter activities. On our two days off - Christmas Day and Boxing Day - we had a downhill ski lesson and hired skis to use on the downhill slopes behind the hotel. All staff for the activities were friendly and knowledgeable and the equipment hired, including the warm suits were very good quality. Greta our rep in Luosto was also fantastic. We both were concerned that going to Lapland at Christmas, we would be overrun with children, but most people in our hotel were like-minded adult couples who wanted an activity based holiday. Overall we thought this was the best holiday we have been on and we have travelled extensively. Thank you so much for an amazing holiday!

Definitely one the of best holidays I have ever been on!
A review of Harriniva - Five-Day Husky Safari by Sandra Patzner & Samuel MilburnOne of the best trips I have ever had. A lot of it was due to the amazing scenery, the dogs, the Northern Lights, but staff everywhere were super friendly and helpful. The 5-day husky tour was well organised and very well run (considering that there were 7 of us and in total 38 dogs!). We stayed at the Harriniva hotel for a night before the tour, at one of their cabins for a night after our tour…
Read more and back at the main hotel for the last night. The hotel is warm and welcoming. Rooms are very comfortable, wood clad and well suited to the environment. There are plenty of saunas on sight. Staff were all very helpful, warm and friendly. The food was delicious. Fresh and varied, something for everyone. Local cuisine available and again, very tasty. We were given amazing gear (warm clothes) for our tour and despite being out and about on husky sleds at -20, I did not get cold once! The 5-day Husky tour was perfect. Hanks, our guide, knew her dogs inside out and quite clearly cared for them very much. She kept all of us informed and safe at all times. She is an excellent cook and the food on the safari was second to none. Especially loved the local food and finding out more about local traditions, beliefs and history. The wilderness huts on the 5-day tour are basic, but despite this very homely and really add to the charm of the tour. I have gotten used to the sauna every evening and rolling in the snow afterwards - 'tis the Finnish way! Seeing the Northern Lights just added to the magic of this beautiful and unforgettable winter wonderland experience. The landscape was breathtaking, it gets a lot lighter than I imagined and the sunrises/ sunsets are magical on a clear day. Definitely one the of best holidays I have ever been on! Back at the hotel, we used the cross-country skiing available. The chap in the equipment room was excellent at ensuring we had the right gear (especially sizes) and also gave us a fantastic mini lesson on how best to get started and managed to get us all skiing cross-country!
