WORK AND PLAY – FIND YOUR NATURAL RHYTHM IN LAPLAND

Living in Lapland is like everyday life nowhere else. Here, life flows at its own pace, surrounded by unique nature, far from exhausting traffic jams and constant scheduling. Freedom is skiing down a fell on a Tuesday evening or trying out your new fly fishing lure on your favorite river.

Lapland might not be top of mind when you think about work, entrepreneurship, or studying. Once here, people are surprised to find themselves pushing their limits in an international atmosphere – even foreign experts and university students come to Finland’s Arctic region to discover themselves both as professionals and as people.

Lapland is for the bold and open-minded souls who approach life with passion. The region of 21 municipalities is as large as Portugal, but only 180,000 people live here. There’s plenty of space, and Lapland is perfect for you if you too feel that life is too short to be spent in the South.

Roll up your sleeves and head north – to the top of the world.
