Why Canterbury Travel?

Our director fell in love with Lapland and Luosto over twenty four years ago, and has spent most of his working life helping others experience the magic that is Luosto. He pioneered bringing British travellers for a holiday to Lapland and has continued to develop and enhance the holiday programmes and services offered. We set the benchmarks for the others to follow. Over the years we have developed close working relationships with many of the local companies, giving us an unsurpassed support network across Lapland. It is this network of partners that we trust to operate our safaris and excursions, knowing that they understand the needs and expectations of our customers. This is very important to ensure the smooth operation of a holiday consisting of so many components. Gradually we have built a reputation within the travel industry and with the travelling public for our impeccable standards and attention to detail.

Below are some of the reasons to choose Canterbury Travel for your winter holiday to Lapland.

Why Canterbury Travel?

Your Accommodation at the Resort of Luosto
Unlike most other resorts that have succumbed to the neon lights and mass market, Luosto is an idyllic unspoilt village resort, nestling at the foot of one of the remaining mountains of the ice age where the true-to-nature traditions of buildings have been upheld, with log cabins still being built from pine snag, which is still the main building material in Luosto village today. Here you’ll find traditional log cabins with log fire and sauna & modern conveniences or the Luostotunturi Hotel with a beautiful Amethyst Spa swimming pool. Every hotel room offered by us has en-suite facilities, and some cabins are equipped with modern steam/power or sensor showers in every bedroom. For detailed information on accommodation within the resort, please refer to ‘Our Resort and Accommodation’ section on this website. Back to top

Our Resort Cuisine
The aim is to use as much local produce as possible for example: berries, mushrooms, fish, game and Finnish cheeses. Nevertheless, like all quality resorts, you will also find a range of international cuisine and special diets such as vegetarian, gluten free etc can be catered for.

Luostonhovi Restaurant and Bar
Close to the resort slopes and centrally located is Luostonhovi, a large log cabin completely refurbished in 2003/2004 with friendly bar and restaurant as well as the Canterbury Travel Office. This makes it a convenient meeting place for most of the A La Carte Optional excursions and for that apres ski or apres-safari drink. To read more about Luostonhovi Restaurant click here
The Luostonhovi offers the following specials:
7 meals for the price of 5 at the Luostonhovi. By pre-booking an evening meal package for Luostonhovi you will receive 7 evening meals for the price of 5. Adult £150, Child £75. Back to top

Igloo Accommodation:
For a real night of Arctic sleeping experience why not request an overnight stay in an igloo.  They’re warmer then you may think, and a great way to experience the wilderness living at only £10 per person per night. Please request on the booking form under ‘specialist requests’.

At Canterbury Travel we offer you tailor-made holidays for specific groups of people as outlined below:
Families
Add a child’s love of the snow to their pure sense of adventure and natural inquisitiveness, with the parents desire for safe holidays with a difference that everyone can enjoy, our Winter Wonderland holiday to Lapland has to be a natural choice. With many activities being suitable for the whole family, any child aware of what is in store for them, snowmobiles for adults & children, husky sled rides, reindeer rides, special toboggan evenings etc will be unable to contain their excitement. Canterbury Travel is known for the great care and dedication we show to our families.

Singles
With a holiday of this nature, with so many excursions to choose from you are able to have a full days activity within a group. As Luosto is a small ski resort you will never feel lost in a crowd, rather part of a small village. May we suggest the comfort of a catered chalet, the Flying Reindeer Lodge for your accommodation. Here you will feel particularly welcome and will be sharing the living spaces and meals with other guests, perhaps making new friends within the small group.

Couples
Imagine spending a week, just the two of you tucked up inside your own cosy log cabin with snow falling outside your window, enjoying a traditional Lappish meal at a small romantic local restaurant with lovely views. Create memories with wonderful experiences you can share together! Memories of skating in the fresh arctic outdoors, a gentle reindeer or horse and sleigh ride, or a madcap dash with the huskies. You’ll enjoy looking back to recall these happy days.

Groups
Our programme caters for groups with individual needs and offers a selection of activities to suit all ages and abilities.  Within the resort of Luosto there are a number of large cabins with private facilities and arrangements can be made
to cater for private group activities. Look out for our Snowball Offers with Group Discounts.

Professionals
A Winter Wonderland holiday will give you the best of everything. Here the extremes of the climate are matched only by the extremes of the adventures and experiences. You may choose a snowmobile or husky sled safari, a cruise on an arctic ice breaker, an ice fishing trip, snowshoe hiking, skiing or snowboarding.You may even wish to relax whilst receiving excellent care and attention in a superb lodge, visit the spa, maybe for a massage or two or enjoy the clean fresh air of this unspoilt destination. Whichever is your need, you will find it in Luosto.

Over 50’s …Young at Heart
Experience a unique snow based vacation. Whether you want to enjoy the quiet unhurried pace of things or try some activities, Luosto is the ideal destination whether you choose a relatively easy, gentle activity like walking in the beautiful environs riding in husky, horse and reindeer sleighs, or adventures you never thought possible such as snowmobile driving, you will find an option to suit you. Similarly whatever you are looking for in the way of accommodation we can offer a modern hotel, a fully catered chalet or a traditional log cabin.

Corporate Travel
We are able to offer customised, cost effective arrangements with many choices of activities for challenging team building adventures or calming relaxing activities. You are sure to find exactly what you are looking for with that added touch of the unusual. Back to top
