Lapland’s many stunning natural destinations offer plenty of choices when planning activities for your visit to Finnish Lapland.  And if you ask the locals, many will have their own favourite destination. There is no debating which is best—just as it is in matters of taste in general.  However, there are many people in Lapland that would name Riisitunturi National Park as their favourite outdoor destination. Are you ready to find out why?

One of the more memorable sights visible in the winter sky in Rovaniemi doesn’t always mean the Northern Lights. During the darkest parts of the winter in December and January you will have the chance to see something uniquely beautiful, which social media users have taken to affectionately calling “cotton candy sky”. 

When planning a trip to Finnish Lapland, you'll find no shortage of excursions to choose from. You will also quickly notice that some of the most popular experiences are available in two different formats – especially when it comes to Northern Lights tours.

Early summer has arrived in Finnish Lapland, and with it comes one of the region’s most distinctive natural phenomena: the Midnight Sun. In Rovaniemi, the official Midnight Sun period begins in early June and continues until early July, when the sun remains above the horizon around the clock. When you visit Rovaniemi and Lapland at this time of year, you get a chance to experience the landscape in a completely different light – pun intended!
