Festive Fun at Lake Jerisjarvi, Lapland

Regional UK Flights To Lapland

Throughout my travel career, I have always loved to hear from tour operators that develop authentic new products and destinations and bring them to market. As a former product and marketing guy myself, I know the value, however subtle, of differentiating yourselves from the competition.

It was therefore great to learn this week, that with unique dedicated flight departures from five UK regional airports, the little-known resort of Lake Jerisjarvi deep within the Pallas-Yllas National Park in Finnish Lapland is now, for the first time, available with Lapland specialist Transun Travel.

A Winter Wonderland

Arriving at Enontekio airport for a 3 or a 4-night stay, you will have just a 75-minute transfer to a resort which is that magical winter wonderland of frozen landscapes, forests bowing under the weight of the snow, the mesmerizing peace, tranquillity and beauty of the white and the indigeneous Sami people who populate the region alongside of course, the reindeer.

Family Size Accommodation

The accommodation you will stay in will be a choice of traditionally built timber cabins with perhaps the biggest attraction being that they are ideal for families.

These “Jeris Cabins” will accommodate from 3 to 7 people depending on the size of your family.

Each enjoys a private sauna, a log burner, an en suite shower room and a drying cupboard for your snow suits and boots which you will have collected on arrival for the duration of your stay.

Full Board Finnish Style

Meals are taken on a full board basis at the accommodations hotel which is a 15-minute walk (a shuttle is at times available) from the cabins although on one evening you will be treated to dinner at a traditional lakeside restaurant.

Activities & Excursions

Transun Travel has developed a range of fabulous activities and excursions for families titled “Sleigh Bells Ringing”.

This package includes a Husky Sled Safari, a Snowmobile Safari, a Reindeer Camp Visit, a Family Meeting with Santa, Snow Fun (including ice fishing, snowshoeing and tobogganing) and a Cooking Baking & Crafts experience.

If that isn’t enough then there is always the option to add some additional experiences.

Lake Jerisjarvi – An Experience of A Lifetime

So there you have it – unique departures, a magical location, fabulous family accommodation, a range of incredible activities and experiences and above all, a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you and your family will talk about and cherish for the rest of your lives.

I would say that is priceless!
