Winter Activity Holidays - Arctic Scandinavia
There is nothing quite like winter inside the Arctic Circle. The air is clean, crisp and still, the magical landscape of frozen lakes, Northern Lights and snow-laden trees is almost dreamlike, and the range of winter activities available makes for a truly unique holiday experience.
Temperatures & daylight hours
Above the Arctic Circle from December to mid-January the sun remains just below the horizon during the day, but it is not dark as there is plenty of light reflected off the snow. The days lengthen quickly and by April there are more daylight hours than in the UK. Temperatures range from -30°C to +5°C. Christmas will normally be the coldest and April can see temperatures around -10°C to +5°C. It is a dry cold, and when dressed correctly -20°C can actually feel very pleasant.
Northern Lights
The breathtaking Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are regularly seen from November to late April on clear nights in latitudes close to the Arctic Circle.
