Finnish Lapland

Land of the indigenous Sámi people and Europe’s last great wilderness

Explore Finnish Lapland, the northernmost region of Finland. Did you know there are eight seasons in Lapland? This concept is rooted in the traditional worldview of the Indigenous Sámi people and reflects the seasonal rhythms in the landscape across the Arctic year, far beyond the conventional four-season mode. This concept means there are year-round opportunities to see different natural phenomena and enjoy activities at specific times.
