From the moment we arrived in Lapland we were taken care of by the SkiLand land representatives fantastically. The accommodation was fantastic and all the trips were run superbly. The small groups we went out to see Santa and go on Husky rides and reindeer rides were brilliant!

SkiLapland were fantastic - I would highly recommend

We were a family group of 7 adults and 4 young children that travelled to Lapland, mainly to see Santa Claus. We travelled one day, had 2 full days in Ruka, then returned on the 4th day. The cabin accommodation was cosy and warm. The log fire had been lit for our arrival, our supper was waiting for us, and there was even a xmas tree ready to decorate. All our meals were brought to our cabin as requested. The organized activities we had booked were great for everyone. As it was so cold, it was very nice to be given lots of hot food and drinks on the activities. Well organized. Everything went according to plan with no problems at all. Everyone said it was an amazing experience.

The Ski-Lapland agent that looked after our booking was very helpful indeed, and ensured that everything we asked for was taken care of. She answered all my e-mails and queries promptly. She made me feel very confident that the trip would be good, and indeed it was.

We spent a week in Finnish Lapland enjoying several nordic winter sports - downhill skiing, cross country skiing, ice karting etc. Lapland offers a much better range of things to do compared to popular ski resorts in Western Europe which offer a more limited choice of activities.

Ski Lapland have got it right - someone around if you need help but leave you to enjoy your holiday at your leisure.

all went fine

We are a family of four and the children hadn't been skiing for about six years. We had perfect snow conditions and the Hemsedal apartment was really comfortable and spacious. Although it was a little way away we were lucky to get a locker so we didn't have to walk with our kit. The children just had the best holiday ever and definitely want to return next year. I was amazed at how quickly their skiing and confidence improved during the course of the week due to their ski school lessons. Thank you Ski Norway!

Our tour operator was really helpful and friendly and although she didn't stay in Hemsedal it was easy to contact her by e-mail

We had three glorious days of cross country ski-ing in Finland, There were loads of tracks to follow , ranging from the beginner tracks to advanced. The tracks started very close to the Apartment so it was easy to get to them- no queuing!Cross coutry ski ing is really fun- but energetic!- and you can stop to admire all the lovely scenery whilst you whizz along The equipment hire was straightforward and efficient. Again , no queuing. There were lots of other facilities available if you wanted to do downhill skiing or snow boarding. Children of all ages / abilities were also catered for. We went self catering , lovely clean, well equipped apartment, very central excellent choice of foods in the local supermarket. We didn't eat out but there were lots of restaurants , cafe's etc. there. We mostly had good weather whilst we were there which enabled us to enjoy the fabulous scenery, clear air and being outdoors. Although short, our time in Finland left us feeling rested, relaxed , restored and ready to face our daily lives again. Who knows how we would have felt if we'd been there longer!

My daughter and I wanted a five day break in Finland in order to go cross country skiing. We were restricted on when we could go due to her university commitments and our budget.To be honest I didn't think it was going to be possible I can't fault Scandinavian Travel Ltd for their knowledge, attentiveness, efficiency and for tailoring our holiday to fit our requirements perfectly and within budget. They went out of their way to ensure we had what we wanted and made really thoughtful,sensible suggestions such as ordering some groceries to be available in our apartment following our very late arrival . Very welcome. Matt's local knowledge was invaluable and all the services they had organised happened smoothly. As soon as finances allow we will be booking another holiday with Ski Lapland. My only hesitation in recommending them is a worry that they will become too big and lose that personal touch- other than that I can't fault them.

Family ski holiday with ski Noreay. Empty slopes, no waiting around for lifts! Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Childcare and ski school were amazing. Both our kids loved ski school. No more than 5 kids in the group and all the instructors were friendly. Ski in ski out accommodation. All at half term- couldn't have asked for more!

Really helpful and friendly

We enjoyed our holiday in Trysil - first time! Accommodations at Radisson Blu were great, food good, too. Plenty for the kids to do, too. The staff was welcoming and, despite very warm conditions at Christmas, the snow blowers were going strong and skiing was good.

The agent helped us decide on the best option for us and understood our goals. Felt that the tour company gave us ample support before the holiday and while we were there. We will be back. Thanks!

This was our second skiing holiday at Trysil with Ski-Norway. We stayed in the same hotel - Park Inn. This time we went at New Year and the snow conditions were not as good as the year before in February. However we had a great time. Our 3 kids had their own ski instructor who took them out each day from 9am - 12 noon. My husband and I had a ski guide from 9am to 11.45am. One of the best things about having the guide was going to the front of the queue at the lifts. You get a lot of runs this way! The hotel was excellent. We had a really large, quite luxurious apartment and did a mixture of self catering and hotel meals. The spa/pool facilities are included in the package and this is excellent as nothing beats bobbing around in an outdoor hot tub after skiing.

I think Ski Norway (Scandanavian Travel Ltd) is a good company for skiing in Norway. Telephone contact is easy. The staff seem to know what they're doing. They send reminders before you need to make a payment. On travel days it was easy to find the staff and on the mountain a rep was there every morning to ensure everyone was having a nice time. My daughter left her teddy in the bed when we checked out. The rep found it and posted it back to the UK at no charge.

First time in Norway. The resort and skiing at Trysil were unbelievable. I would love to go again. It was a super amazing holiday! Everyone should try a winter Norway holiday break.

The operator Ski-Norway was amazing, extremely helpful, courteous and couldn't do enough for us. I would definitely use them again. I am one happy customer.
