8 go on a lapland adventure


It’s not only about far-flung shores and winter sun, of course. For clients wanting to embrace the magic of winter – and jump on the ‘adventuremoon’ trend – direct them to Finnish Lapland. Inghams recommends Levi, where snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, husky sledding and northern lights hunting take place against a backdrop of dusky-pink skies and snow-covered forest. “Lapland is not just for families and it’s not just for Christmas,” says Jess Howell, Inghams’ product manager for Lapland. “From mid-January to late February, the sun bathes everything in a rose-gold


glow, and it makes for a stunning winter honeymoon.” Book it: Inghams offers seven night’s B&B at the five-star Design Hotel Levi from £1,798 per person in March 2020, based on two sharing, including flights and transfers. inghams.co.uk
