What to pack for a winter trip to Lapland – and what you can leave at home
Planning a winter trip to Lapland is exciting—but packing for it? Not so much. The Arctic climate can be harsh and unpredictable, and figuring out what to wear (and what not to) often raises more questions than answers. Fortunately, there’s a smarter way to stay warm without overstuffing your suitcase or investing in expensive gear you’ll use once.
With LuxJa’s premium winter clothing rental service, you can travel light, stay warm, and reduce waste—all while looking great in the snow.
The Essentials: What You Actually Need in Lapland
Lapland in winter is a true winter wonderland, but temperatures can dip well below -20°C. Here’s what you absolutely need to enjoy your stay outdoors:
Thermal base layers (merino wool or synthetic)
Mid-layers like fleece or wool sweaters
Insulated outer layers – jacket and pants
Waterproof winter boots
Warm gloves, hat, and neck gaiter
Wool socks (bring several pairs!)
Moisturizing cream and lip balm – the cold and dry air is no joke
But don’t panic—you don’t have to buy it all. Especially not the bulky, expensive outer layers.
What You Can Leave at Home
