DISCOVER LAPLAND – A DESTINATION ABOVE ORDINARY

Lapland covers nearly a third of Finland, stretching from the fell highlands of the far north to the unique archipelago of the Bothnian Bay. With five airports, two railway lines, and an extensive road network, Lapland’s tiny villages and small towns – and of course, the awe-inspiring wilderness – are easily accessible. Distances are long, but virtually no traffic and natural sights along the way turn your Lappish journeys into Arctic adventures.

The eight seasons of northern nature offer their stunning phenomena for us to marvel at. The Northern Lights, midnight sun, and autumn colors are accompanied by the polar night, the snow-covered spring, and the world’s cleanest air (a researched fact). Eight national parks offer natural therapy under the Lapland sky, an experience found nowhere else.

Here you can stay in a cottage, a hotel, or even a traditional “kammi” hut, unless a snow igloo is your cup of hot chocolate. There’s no shortage of things to do in Lapland, but doing nothing might be just what you’re looking for: even the 200,000 reindeer agree that enjoying the silence in peace is the best way to spend time.

And let’s not forget the breathtaking scenery.
