In the wintry silence of snowy frozen fells, you can sense the sublime peace and quiet of unspoilt nature. Here, you find the urge to be still and commune with mother earth or the cosmos irresistible. A population density of 2 persons per square km., allows you to experience the serenity of nature like nowhere else on the planet.

In Finnish Lapland, you can meet Lapland’s most famous inhabitant, Santa Claus or “Joulupukki” in Finnish, as you go on a husky sled excursion in places like Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland. Sporty visitors can go skiing or slaloming on the many top-quality winter resorts like Salla or Ounasvaara.

Midnight Sun in the Summer

Experiencing the midnight sun in Finland is unforgettable. In northern Finland, the sun does not set for several weeks in a row. In Utsjoki, a single, long summer day lasts for two and a half months. The whole country wakes up to a celebration of different festivals everywhere, attracting thousands of international visitors.
