Adventure begins the moment you step into Finnish Lapland – a winter wonderland renowned for its pristine snowy wilderness and ethereal landscapes.

Endless snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, icy rivers, and rolling fells set the scene for a spectacular journey through Europe’s Arctic frontier. For lovers of outdoor adventure who also enjoy cosy, boutique-style accommodation, Lapland perfectly fuses breathtaking scenery with refined lodges and cabins offering hearty local cuisine, warm hospitality, and a serene ambience.

In the south, meet the Sámi community and learn about their indigenous culture, ride a reindeer sleigh through snowy forests, or savour local specialities such as Karelian pasties and smoked fish. Further north, glide across the glittering landscape on a dog sled adventure, snowmobile through frozen wilderness, or spend a night under the northern lights in a glass-roof igloo for uninterrupted views of the Aurora.
