What to Pack for Lapland

Arctic weather conditions in Lapland can change quickly and often, so all travelers should bring many layers of warm, comfortable inner wear such as long johns, long sleeved t-shirts, sweaters and pants.

We recommend bringing the following items for winter travel:
• Thick woolen socks, ideally several pairs
• Woolen underwear & base layers
• Warm woolen sweater
• Jeans or other trousers
• Thin woolen or fleece gloves (ideal as a base layer under snowmobile gloves)
• Warm gloves, scarf, and cap
• Camera with extra battery
• Small backpack/rucksack for day tours
• Heat pads for hands and feet
• Flashlight if you are staying in a wilderness cabin
