Lapland Holidays in April

April Holidays in Lapland

Nearing the end of Lapland’s long winter, April is a super time to enjoy the best of both worlds – deep, crisp snow and long, bright days.

If you’re planning a spring holiday but still want a winter wonderland, the snow is usually still hanging around at this time of year - in fact, April’s often the month with the deepest cover! You can even include a trip to see Santa in Rovaniemi and you should be able to take reindeer and husky safaris nearer to your resort (you might even meet some baby reindeer or husky pups!).

April Events & Snow in Lapland

Activities and events in April

A big event to look out for is the Hetta Music Event in Levi, which is Europe’s northernmost music festival.

Skiing Conditions in April

You should be able to ski in the sunshine without compromising on good snow conditions, as the temperatures are much milder than January and February but still low enough to prevent the snow from melting. In April, the days become longer than nights, with some days having an amazing 16 hours of daylight – plenty of time to enjoy all the region has to offer.

If you’re here over Easter, this is a prime time for indulging and while Lapland may not be the Queen of chocolate like Switzerland, it offers up some seriously tasty treats, most of which involve some form of berry – blueberry pie is a bit of a national treasure here.
