    Overview

    “Everything about Lapland is so real and so pure. The nature around you is astounding there isn’t anywhere else like it in the world.” – Markku

    Lapland is the ultimate natural destination, whether in the grip of a magical, snow-blanketed winter or in the midst of a softly lit, endless summer. Bask in the fiery tongues of the majestic Northern Lights, take part in heart-melting husky encounters, or go spotting the native reindeer. An adventure in Lapland is exhilarating, engrossing and has a real sense of magic about it. After all, it’s the home of two of the most famous natural phenomena, the aurora borealis, and the midnight sun!

    Adventure is in the air in Lapland. Towering pine forests, dotted with idyllic, crystal blue lakes, stunning mountain scenery and dramatic fells offer some of the world’s best hiking, biking, kayaking and canoeing. And one of the very best things about this natural utopia, you feel genuinely off the beaten track, and in true wilderness. But, don’t take our word for it, hear what The I Paper’s Sophie Lam has to say about it…

    June – August:

    The magic of the midnight sun, to many people, is just as compelling as the allure of the Northern Lights. Experiencing the endless days of a Lapland summer is a surreal, enchanting time, as you relax by a serenely quiet lake and soak in the rays of the perpetual sunlight.

    September – October:

    Autumn in Lapland is a time of year when the snow has still held off just enough so that you can still head out hiking or kayaking, but also provides a window when you can combine these experiences with nights dark enough to see the Northern Lights.

    What the Guidebooks Don’t Tell You, Lapland

    We like to be transparent about our holidays, so with that in mind, here is some information you’d need to consider when booking your getaway!

    Our Unmissable Highlights

    The Northern Lights

    It was only ever going to be, wasn’t it? This world-famous phenomenon has captured the imagination of thousands. Standing in the crisp, pure night air, as bursts of vivid greens bloom and brilliant tongues of red roll across the inky black night sky, is an experience you won’t forget.

    Catching the Northern Lights is all about being in the right place at the right time, and there is no better place or time than Lapland in the winter months. Come and see them for yourself, and you’ll truly understand how one would turn to the supernatural as an explanation for this wonderous sight.

    Hiking & Cross Country Skiing

    One of the great draws of Lapland are its vast open spaces and untapped wilderness. The beautifully pure air and the huge, wide skies provide a sense of total isolation, and when you consider that only 3% of Finland’s population live in this area that makes up almost a third of the country, you can be pretty much guaranteed you’ll be exploring alone.

    The Sami Culture

    Learn about the indigenous people who inhabit the northern reaches of Europe. Their rich, fascinating culture is made all the more compelling by just how far removed it is from the western way of life. Their creativity is reflected in the magical landscape they call home.

    Visit reindeer farms and understand how the reindeer is absolutely central to the Sami way of life. Learn about their ancient, haunting music. Above all, be taken in by the warm generosity and relaxed nature of your lappish hosts.
