Lapland - what do we need?

[FifthTimeLucky5]

I think I am possibly more excited than my DC to be going to Lapland in December! This is likely a once in a lifetime trip and I want to make sure we all enjoy it and are prepared for the cold but I don’t really know where to start.

Boots, snowsuits and gloves are provided but can anyone who has been, recommend what layers we need underneath, what to buy and where from? Anything you’d wished you’d taken or took but didn’t need? Having never been on a snowy holiday, living somewhere where it rarely dips below freezing and being generally a person who feels the cold I want to make sure we are all warm enough to enjoy it to the max.

thank you :)

We're back! Oh my god it was amazing! We packed way too much (as expected): we actually only used one set of base layers and fleeces each during the trip. I did wear 3 pairs of socks at a time but only changed the inner pair each day. The boots fit true to size so no need to size up and the snow suit people were really good at getting your size right.

The hotel rooms were really hot so I slept in shorts and t-shirt but the dining area was cooler so jeans and a jumper were fine.

For anyone yet to go - you'll have a blast! For anyone thinking about booking - just do it!
