The Northern Lights

The Northern Lights is the most beautiful natural phenomena that deserve to be explored at least once in a lifetime. It’s truly the most spectacular extravaganza that you’ve ever experienced. The Northern Lights feels like the spectacle of dancing green purple and green lights near the North Pole. It’s the destination where you can closely witness the extraordinary views.

The Must-Do Activities

Finnish Lapland has snow and ice everywhere where you can enjoy some cool activities for maximum enjoyment and fun. You can get more fun while driving a snowmobile over the frozen area.

Another must-do activity is a husky sleigh ride. These cute dogs love the winter weather and jump enthusiastically when you step on the sledge. As soon as you release the brake, they shoot away while giving you a feeling like flying over the snow.

Other activity in this wintry landscape is a reindeer safari. If you’re travelling with kids, Lapland is the home to house of Santa Claus. It will give you a wonderful experience and leave your kids and you in awe while enjoying this enchanting fairy tale.

Connect with polar animals

A reindeer is a lot bigger than a deer, with a big coat and a good antler. These animals walk through the forest gracefully. When you get too close, they sprint away. You just go a few meters further to have a good sight on them.

Other local animals you’ll spot apart from reindeer include moose – a bit dangerous, lynx, wolverines – a type of mini bears, arctic fox, bears, etc. You will even find a small white arctic fox near your accommodation and see a wolverine while driving.

The Ultimate Winter Wonderland

Lapland is well-known as the ultimate winter wonderland. You will find meters of snow covering red little cottages, frost flowers on the windows and an occasion named as “plop” when the powdery snow falls on the pine trees. Visiting Lapland during winter gives you special experiences and is different from anywhere.

The snow in the Finnish Lapland won’t need any description. It’s thick, powdery and crispy. There are meters of small water crystals feeling like a thick blanket you will see while lying down in it to make a snow angel. You can enjoy a snow hike or skiing right there.
