Lapland

Where Wilderness Meets Wonder

A Winter Wonderland

Lapland is a winter wonderland. Crisp air invigorates the senses as you embark on a husky sledding adventure across a frozen landscape. Strap on snowshoes and explore silent forests blanketed in white. For a touch of luxury, stay in a cosy glass igloo and fall asleep gazing at the shimmering aurora borealis.

Summer's Lush Embrace

Don't discount Lapland in the summer months. The midnight sun bathes the landscape in an ethereal glow, perfect for late-night hikes or kayaking adventures on glassy lakes. Trek through vibrant tundra teeming with wildflowers, or go white-water rafting on rushing rivers.

The Sami Culture

The Sami people, with their rich heritage and deep connection to the Arctic, are an integral part of Lapland's identity. Visit a traditional Sami encampment, learn about their reindeer herding practices, and witness their intricate handicrafts.

Reindeer Encounters

Reindeer are synonymous with Lapland. Meet these gentle giants up close, learn about their importance to Sami culture, and perhaps even enjoy a reindeer sleigh ride through the snowy wilderness.

Beyond the Expected

Lapland offers more than just winter activities. Explore historic towns like Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus, or delve into the fascinating history of the Cold War at the nuclear fallout shelter turned museum in Sodankylä, Finland.

Culinary Adventrue

Lapland's cuisine is a reflection of its environment. Sample fresh Arctic char, reindeer meat stew, and cloudberry desserts. For a truly unique experience, try "Gaffelkaffe," strong coffee brewed over an open fire.

Planning Your Trip

Lapland is a well-developed tourist destination, but be prepared for the extremes of weather. Winter requires warm clothing and good boots, while summer can see mosquito activity. The best time to visit depends on your priorities: witness the Northern Lights in winter, or experience the midnight sun and outdoor activities in summer.  So, pack your sense of adventure, a warm heart, and a thirst for exploration, and embark on an unforgettable journey to the magical land of Lapland!
