LAPLAND VLOG | Christmas in Finland | Family Skiing Trip in Log Cabin

This must surely be the most magical Christmas Destination .....Lapland in Finland
The stunning scenery and activities on offer make this a holiday to remember
For more travels, I'd love it if you would SUBSCRIBE to my Channel using this link- / @savillestravels
Staying in a log cabin was very special and experiencing Lapland's family excursions created so much fun. We went on a 10km Husky Safari, Reindeer Ride for the whole family, Ice karting, 30k Snowmobiling Experience & Skiing in Ruka
The restaurants featured in my Vlog were Stefan's Steakhouse & Colorado Bar & Grill
Feel free to leave me a comment with any questions as I will be more than happy to help

I'm from Finland and I take a sauna 2 times a week. the feeling that comes after a sauna is something that is difficult to fully describe. it has to be experienced. As a Finn, you don't always think about what kind of nature we have. Here, one day, German tourists had just stepped off the bus and I was just coming out of the store. The weather was a pretty normal winter day in Finland -18c. The snow sparkled in the sun and the trees were thick with frost. I heard how the tourists were amazed by the cold air and said OMG, wonderful, incredibly beautiful, if this is not a winter wonderland then what is? and I thought it was just an ordinary nice winter day ;-)

They offer that berry juice up there for a reason, it has alot of C vitamin in it, so it helps your immune system fight flu.

[@SavillesTravels]

Love the info! Thanks

[@punkkumies1283]

[@SavillesTravels]

It’s a fantastic place. Would love to visit on the summer too

[@arihalttu8949]

Thank you Savilles'.....I really enjoyed your video because you really showed us what you did on your Christmas vacation in Finland and talked to us viewers....I've had enough of all the "music videos" that many people show us viewers without them saying a single word.....welcome back dear Brits......

Ruka is actually not in Lapland. Comes 20km short from Lapland border, so it’s almost the same. But I still hope you had a nice trip and I hope to see you again! -Your taxi driver from Ruka!

[@jpete190]

Awesome, thank you.

[@thedudefromrobloxx]

Not that finland is cheap but k-market is also the most expensive chain grocery store brand, then again their also the only nearby option a lot of times

[@ninaheidi4213]

Great video! I’m going to Ruka soon 😊 any advice on who to book excursions with?

[@SavillesTravels]

We booked online before we travelled. I've used Ruka Safaris and we booked direct with Lammintupa Village

[@hauskalainen]

Remember. Lapland visits are not just for Christmas!

[@SavillesTravels]

It looks stunning in the summer months too. Would love to return

[@konetampere]

Quick tip. Kuusamo is pronounced "Coo-Sam-Oh", and Ruka "Rook-Ah", Looks like you missed the ridiculous weather; we were in Ruka last week and it plummeted below -30 for several days. I've lived in Finland for many years and never seen so many Brits as I did in Ruka!

[@SavillesTravels]

Thanks for that. for that was cold. minus 20 was cold enough for us!

[@sheonaharley5596]

Your week looked fabulous! We'll be in Levi for Christmas into New Year this year with our 4 teenage children & cannot wait! Can i ask, did you make your restaurant reservations in advance before arriving in resort? Trying to gauge how busy it will be. Thanks in advance Sheona

[@SavillesTravels]

Hi, yes I booked online in advance. I did actually change one booking whilst I was away and the availability was good. You just never know so I like to be prepared. Thanks for watching

[@TeamTaylorAdventure]

Hey 👋 what was the name of the village you did all your activities at? Some great ideas for our trip x

[@SavillesTravels]

Lammintupa Winter Village - a great place to do so much and the people were lovely

[@TeamTaylorAdventure]

@@SavillesTravels thanks so much, just subscribed 😃

[@SavillesTravels]

@@TeamTaylorAdventure Thanks so much.... trying to hit 1000 subscribers so that means a lot

[@TheFinCola]

Sorry to break it to you but Ruka is not in Lapland.

[@mikrokupu]

I was waiting for this :) Yes actually Ruka is located south of Lapland province but often marketed abroad as a Lapland destination. No biggie I think. Happy 2024, subscribed!

[@SavillesTravels]

Hi, my knowledge was that it is, just from googling it but thank you for your input. Don’t know which information is correct but it is a fab place to go. 😀

[@paivinyberg2062]

Kuusamon kaupunki ei sijaitse Lapin maakunnassa, eikä Ruka täytä edes tunturin määritelmää 🧐

[@SavillesTravels]

@@paivinyberg2062 Thank you for your info

[@mikrokupu]

@@paivinyberg2062 Ruka ilmeisesti lanattava sileäksi nyt sitten 😜

[@bobsnabby2298]

"It's a bummer you have to do your own bed" omg, where's your mom to do that for you 😂

[@SavillesTravels]

I was just making people aware of the situation when you arrive. We’d had a very early start and were unwell and extremely tired. I’m sure most people would feel the same about making up 8 beds on arrival

[@bobsnabby2298]

@@SavillesTravels okay but it's written to bring your own bed sheets.

[@SavillesTravels]

@@bobsnabby2298 we didn’t bring our own they are provided but you have to make the beds. It wasn’t such a big deal until you made it one!

[@jpete190]

What’s the name of this village?

[@SavillesTravels]

Hi, it’s Ruka Village
