Culture

Wild, straightforward and a bit sarcastic: that’s Finnish Lapland in a nutshell. Our culture includes the only indigenous peoples in Europe, the Sámi, as well as northern Finns and the Meän river valley culture between Finland and Sweden. Events include Christmas, film festivals, Arctic sports contents and races, unique culinary traditions and more.
