✈️ From Humberside to True Lapland... 🇬🇧 🇫🇮

Last Sunday, we were delighted to be part of the Humberside Airport Travel Holiday Fair. 🗺️

It was great to chat with travellers of all ages about the extraordinary adventures we have to offer deep inside the Arctic Circle – from our Santa day trips and short breaks to our adult-oriented Arctic Spirit tours. 🎅✨

Ever wondered what reindeer eat? 🦌 They’re grazers, which helps keep them going in the extreme Arctic cold.

Although they love grasses, shrubs and leaves, in winter their diet consists mainly of lichen. This includes a type called 'reindeer moss', which actually looks like clumps of tiny greyish-green antlers. Reindeer scrape away the snow with their hooves to get to it. ❄️

On average, they'll consume up to 3 kg daily in winter, but they can eat a lot more – up to 8 kg – in summer when food is more abundant. 🌿

Most of our tours include visits to Sami reindeer camps where you'll learn all about the dining habits of Lapland's gentle giants and much more >> https://s.mtrbio.com/ldeewkxjjd

This breathtaking shot of the Northern Lights was captured earlier this week in Karesuando. There's nothing better than a front row seat to Mother Nature's awe-inspiring shows!

Let it... ❄️ Did you know there are more than 40 different words for ‘snow’ – or rather various types of frozen precipitation – in the Finnish language? 🇫🇮

‘Lumi’ is probably the snow we most look forward to seeing at Christmas time. It’s the soft, bright white stuff that blankets much of Finland during the festive season. 🌨️

But we’re also fans of ‘viti’ (freshly fallen powder), ‘hotto’ (very fluffy snow) and ‘jaakristalli’ (ice crystals). 🤍

Whereas we’re not so fond of ‘hyhma’ (slush), ‘tuisku’ (snow in a strong wind), ‘loska’ (very wet, muddy snow), ‘kohva’ (grey ice), ‘kaljama’ (slippery sheet ice), ‘nietos’ (a big snowdrift) and ‘laviini’ (a small avalanche). 🧊

AND there are other nuanced words for the type of snow depending on weather conditions, where it settles, if it’s been treaded on by a human, animal or vehicle... and much more! 🎿🦌

So this Christmas... let it lumi, let it viti, let it hotto! ❄️

✨ Silent night, holy night... in True Lapland! ✨

While you're exploring with us this festive season you may spot some of this region's beautiful churches. ⛪

Nestled amid the snowy landscapes are Karesuando Church, the most northerly in Sweden, and Enontekio Church in the village of Hetta. These enchanting architectural gems add to the serene backdrop that feels straight out of a Christmas story! ❄️

Our Journey...

Transun is an independent, specialist tour operator. We operate travel experiences to interesting destinations all over the world, but especially in northern Europe. We’re based in offices in Oxford, although we’ve also had premises in London and in the North of England in recent years.

We’ve been in the travel business for over thirty five years – and not many companies can say that. We’ve operated to a wide range of destinations in that time and have built up heaps of experience at designing and delivering specialist holidays for our loyal clients from all over the UK. We aim to give you the best service possible, from your first enquiry through to your time on holiday.

The main focus of our current programmes is the Arctic region of Scandinavia where you can visit Santa in Lapland or witness the spectacular northern lights inside the arctic circle in northernmost Finland and Sweden. These regions also play host to a range of other experiences including husky safaris, snowmobile expeditions, traditional excursions by reindeer sleigh and nights in an igloo. Throughout our history our guests have travelled with us to a range of destinations across Europe.
