• Watching the stunning northern lights, also called aurora borealis a well-known tourist attraction. Their appearance depends on natural factors such as solar winds and charged particles in the earth’s upper atmosphere. The optimal time for viewing these celestial fireworks is between October and March and Finnish Lapland is a great spot to see them in all their enchanting beauty.
• Sauna! Finland is the motherland of saunas so you can’t miss this experience. Almost each accommodation facility is fitted with this nice room, so you’ll have plenty of options. Finns love to take a sauna session and then jump into the snow or an almost frozen lake to cool off after it. Would you be that brave as well?
• And last but not the least, the husky safari! One of the best and most popular Lapland winter activities involves riding through beautiful landscapes. The dogs have a huge desire to run at the speed of light and that, together with the silent and peaceful views, will make for an unforgettable adventure.
