Lapland, in Finland, covers one- third of the total area of Finland. This expansive area has a human population of approximately 200,000, and it is estimated that there are more reindeer than people throughout the region! Lapland is a peaceful place. The expansive natural surroundings allows for tranquility; the fresh air transforms and allows for peace which helps to naturally release the day’s stress. The world is near, yet suitably far away. Lapland is the land of eight seasons: Christmas (deep winter), Frosty Winter (late winter), Crusty Snow (spring), Departure of Ice (early summer), Midnight Sun (summer), Harvest Season (late summer), Colorful Autumn (autumn), First Snow (early winter). Needless to say the Northern community lives with a firm connection to nature as the changing seasons dictate remarkable changes into daily routines. The “Very Best” Arctic region. The capital of Lapland, located in the southern part of Lapland, is Rovaniemi, and is conveniently located in the Arctic Circle.

Northern Lights Northern Lights ( the Aurora Borealis) Specialist The thrill of witnessing the Aurora Borealis is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The blazing colors in the sky are enchanting and addicting. The Northern Lights appear about 200 nights per year in Lapland. The further north you go, the greater the chances of spotting them. Seeing the Northern Lights requires darkness and clear skies. Generally, the spectacular light shows are best viewed a few hours after midnight in late autumn, winter and early spring when the sky is darkest and the skies and clear. The display might last 20 seconds or go on for hours. Our favorite months for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are September- October and February- March. Even with today’s technical equipment, the Lights’ appearance can never be forecast with certainty. They are a phenomenon that cannot be packaged and sold, which makes each time special. They appear for you; right then, right there. The Sun and the Earth conduct the show, and each performance is unique. The Fox moves in mysterious ways.
