Between snow-covered forests, skies painted by the northern lights, and the home of Santa Claus.

Lapland feels like a world pulled straight from a fairytale: endless white landscapes, frozen lakes, and silent woods where the sky bursts into shades of green and violet during the aurora borealis . Stretching across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, this northern wonderland is the purest expression of winter’s magic.

The Arctic sauna: a ritual of pure well-being

In Finland, the sauna is more than a tradition, it’s a ritual of rebirth.
Outdoor saunas in Lapland offer the exhilarating contrast of intense heat followed by a plunge into icy water or fresh snow. The result is an incredible rush of endorphins and a renewed sense of vitality for both body and mind.
The best time to experience this Arctic ritual runs from November to April, ideally at sunset or beneath the dancing lights of the aurora for a truly spectacular atmosphere.

Christmas magic: reindeer sleigh rides and Santa Clause village.

In Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, Christmas lives all year long.
A sleigh ride pulled by reindeer takes visitors through snowy forests and frozen lakes, the soft jingle of bells echoing in the still air. At the end of the ride, guests even receive an official reindeer sleigh driver’s license!
At Santa Claus Village, you can meet Santa himself, visit his Post Office, and cross the Arctic Circle. The most magical time to go is between November and March — with Christmas, of course, as the ultimate highlight.

Dinner in the kingdom of ice: The Ice restaurant and Bar

Just minutes from Rovaniemi, the Ice Restaurant and Bar takes shape each winter.
Crystal pillars, snow sculptures, and tables draped in reindeer furs create a dreamlike atmosphere, softly lit by hues of blue and green. After dinner, the Ice Disco invites guests to dance below zero while sipping cocktails served in glasses made of ice.
This frozen wonderland opens from December to March, when the Arctic reveals its most enchanting side.

Across the ice: the Sampo icebreaker experience

In the Gulf of Bothnia, the historic Sampo icebreaker still plows through frozen seas, turning each voyage into a true Arctic adventure.
Travelers can watch as the powerful vessel crushes through massive ice fields and ,for the brave, float in the icy water wearing a thermal survival suit.
The best season to embark is from December to April, when the sea is solid ice and the horizon melts into the sky.

A night under the dancing lights

Falling asleep beneath the Northern Lights is an experience beyond words.
Glass cabins and panoramic igloos allow you to watch the Arctic sky from the warmth of your bed, as waves of green and violet light drift across the sky. It’s a moment of pure wonder, where you feel part of the sky itself.

Among snow and silence, Lapland invites you to rediscover the beauty of simplicity.
The scent of warm wood after a sauna, the muffled sound of footsteps on snow, the sky bursting into unexpected colors — here, every moment becomes a memory that stays in your heart forever.
