Planning ahead for xmas next year and the aim is to be out of Sydney enjoying a white Christmas with the kids.
The idea is to spend the xmas week in a village in Lapland in the Finnish Arctic, and I've narrowed it down to 3.
I'd be interested to hear some tips from readers who have done this, and a recommendation on which village. We have visited lapland previously, but not in the winter season.

- Levi
- Yllas
- Ruka
- Northern lights spotting
- A bit of alpine skiing (not the focus, but would like to get a couple of days in)
- Xmas atmosphere / village charm
- Dog sledding
- Other winter activities like XC or snowshoeing trails.
- Cultural stuff
- Ease of access. We'd fly SYD to HEL then take a short domestic flight up to Kittilla airport in Lapland.
