Unforgettable Experiences in Lapland
Finnish Lapland really is an incredible place and there are so many unique things to experience. It's easy to get here, easy to find a cabin and easy to organise the exeriences you want, while living right in the middle of some of the most fantastic unspoilt nature on Earth.
Northern Lights
The unforgettable Aurora Borealis. This is such a great place to see them. Check out local photographer Markus Kiili and some of his amazing pictures.
Skiing
Great downhill skiing, but Äkäslompolo is the best place for cross-country skiing too, with almost 350km of prepared ski tracks, many lit until 10pm and most taking you through enchanting forests.
Snow Village
The snow village at Lainio is great for a daytrip, maybe by snowmobile. If you are brave, you can even stay the night there.
Husky Tours
There is nothing on earth like travelling through the Arctic forest on a sledge pulled by enthusiastic huskies. Unmissable!
Snowmobiling
Miles of prepared snowmobile tracks make for lots of exploring. Take a guided tour or hire one and go on your own.
Meeting Santa
Could anything be more exciting than having Santa visit you at home?
