Why is Lapland so cheap?

Just been going through a brochure to see what's about. Lapland ski hols seem cheap in comparison to other places with most being in the low £400's. Is this because it's not considered a 'proper' ski country? I noticed that the actual skiing is limited compared to many other countries/resorts. Perhaps it's more of an all round snow experience country rather than being strongly geared towards skiing? It doesn't have a category on here under Ski Resorts which maybe says a lot.

Any thoughts?

Emma,
I should imagine that if you want to see Santa, its up at the top of the must do list however, if you want to ski/board then it is very limited in relation to the well known resorts. :-)

Thanks Alistair, I do get that impression. Great if skiing is one of several activities you want to do whilst there (obviously including Santa :wink: !) but not necessarily for skiing alone. Hmmm... can I make the compromise? There's a cracking deal on a little catered chalet with lovely sounding meals, husky rides, skidooing, the northern lights... hmmm. Fair old walk to the ski bus though :? It's probably all academic anyway. MrEvs would promptly poke my eyes out if I proposed diluting his skiing opportunities :lol:

:D Remember Emma your the Manager! Mr Em's will have to carry your skis and poles and smile Politely when he meets Santa :wink:
