Lapland

Lapland is Finland's most northern region, bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea. It is sparsely populated and known for its subarctic wilderness, ski resorts and natural phenomena such as the midnight sun and northern lights. The capital Rovaniemi is the gateway to the region. Lapland is also the settlement area of the Sami people, which extends far into neighbouring countries.

Lapland offers many different activities for travellers.

Husky Ride:

A husky tour is an excellent way to experience the arctic wilderness. There is something primeval about crossing a snow-covered landscape on a dog sled.

Snowmobile Tours:

On a snowmobile tour in Finland, the route takes you through the beautiful wilderness of the far north. With the snowmobile you will drive at a speed of up to 80km/h through forests and over frozen lakes in beautiful Finnish Lapland. A feeling of pure freedom.

Skiing:

There are about 75 winter sports areas in Finland. They are mostly small mountains near towns and villages. But the big ones are located in the fjells of Lapland and are the classic destinations for a winter holiday. Lapland's "Big Four" winter sports resorts - Levi, Ylläs, Pyhä-Luosto and Ruka - are located about 500 to 700 metres above sea level and have ski slopes up to three kilometres long.

Watching Aurora:

To see the northern lights with one's own eyes is for many an impressive experience that comes only once in a lifetime. Finland is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights - people have even immigrated to Finland for this reason alone. Lapland is the perfect place to look for northern lights in dark places.

Sauna:

If you thought a sauna was just a small cabin by the lake or a place to relax in a public swimming pool, let us teach you better. Sauna in a lonely place in Lapland is something very special and unique experience.
