Finnish Lapland is a magical destination all year round, whether you’re hunting the aurora or basking in the midnight sun. Perfect for a short break or outdoors adventure in winter or summer, Finnish Lapland’s appeal lies in the wilderness that’s waiting to be explored, and the chance to meet and learn about indigenous Sami culture.
In winter, the snow-covered landscapes also create a magical Christmas wonderland for children including the chance to meet Santa. Enjoy a family adventure for all the family compromising on location, accommodation and activities.
Finnish Lapland covers an area of almost 100,000sq. km and is found almost entirely within the Arctic Circle. Its rolling hills and sweeping plains are blanketed by coniferous forests, the uplands are peppered with birch forests, and Finland’s third largest lake – Lake Inari – is a beautiful place to explore on a boat trip and an important area for the Sami people.
No two explorers are the same, so you have the freedom to craft your experience exactly how you want.
