Nature in the far north
Lapland is situated in the far north of Europe and stretches across Finland, Sweden, Norway and a small part of Russia. Due to the differences between these regions, the landscape is surprisingly varied. In Finland, you’ll find vast forests and thousands of lakes. Sweden is home to national parks and mountainous regions, whilst Norwegian Lapland is renowned for its fjords, coastal landscapes and rugged wilderness.
Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Lapland
Finnish Lapland is known for its snow-covered forests, reindeer and atmospheric winter destinations. Around Rovaniemi and Saariselkä, you can go on husky safaris, go hiking and, in winter, search for the Northern Lights.
Swedish Lapland offers vast natural landscapes and tranquil national parks, whilst Norwegian Lapland is characterised by fjords, mountains and the coastline. In all parts of Lapland, a trip centres on nature, tranquillity and active experiences in every season.
Places with their own unique atmosphere
Rovaniemi, Kiruna and Tromsø each showcase a different side of Lapland. Rovaniemi lies on the Arctic Circle and is a popular base for winter activities. Kiruna is surrounded by stunning natural scenery, whilst Tromsø is renowned for its combination of fjords, mountains and a cosy town atmosphere.
Travelling through Lapland
Lapland is easy to travel around, although the distances are considerable. That is why a combination of flights, hire cars and transfers is often chosen. This allows you to easily combine winter activities, national parks and charming villages, without having to spend long hours travelling every day.
During a tour, you can combine winter activities with walks in national parks, visits to charming villages and trips along fjords, through forests and past lakes. This creates a trip full of variety, without you having to travel long distances every day.
