Experience the Authentic Wilderness in Lapland

Do you love the outdoors?  If you’re like us and you can’t get enough of camping, hiking, trekking and general outdoor activities, you should consider spending some time in Lapland, a region in the north of Europe reknowned for its beautiful four seasons and nature. Each season offers its own highlights and delights. In fact this region is famous for its eight seasons instead of four and they include early, deep and late summer, late and deep winter, spring, as well as autumn. In all cases, surely the power of nature is upon you, and it is up to you whether you want to experience the lushness of snow or a hot summer’s trek. Consider the following activities for all times of year and visit Lapland tourism portal for more information!

Activities in Winter

The best thing is to experience the Arctic Circle in winter when there is no sun, during what is known as “twilight” which lasts for 51 days. The complete winter has 200 days and the lowest temperature goes up to -50°C, whereas the best activity then is to see northern lights, which is one of our bucket list activities. Other activities include skiing, snowboarding, husky dog safari as well as sleigh ride – not bad for one vacation! On top of that, consider a log cabin holiday with TheWhiteCircle.com to make your winter wonderland complete.

Activities in Spring

Many people love to visit here in spring when it’s very pleasant, as the snow is still there and remains there till April, but it is not nearly as cold as during the dead of winter. It’s true though, the temperature remains low even in May, but people love outdoor activities even in such moderate weather. The famous activities include trekking, skiing, and ice fishing. Both of us are avid skiers and it’s great to know that one can go for a ski vacation even as late as April for the die-hard ski fans!

Activities in Summer

Summer is awesome as nature appears in the form of buds, and flowers of bright colors. The most amazing thing in the whole world is that there is no night in Lapland, because it remains sunny all the day and night, hence there is no night even at night time. Tourists love to experience this event as it’s a great wonder and miracle created by God, whereas scientists refer to this as the White Nights. Having experienced this myself firsthand in St. Petersburg I can assure you that it is something really special. Though, it can be difficult to fall asleep when it is entirely daylight out!

You can enjoy summer alone, with a partner, or with friends and the place is so beautiful that you can enjoy it in any condition.  You can take canoeing tour or simply enjoy the backwoods. If you are fond of fishing then it’s a good place for you. There are also so many golf courses for golf players. In short, there is something for everyone.

Activities in autumn

It’s a rainy season which makes the rivers and lakes filled with water. People love the misty cloud over waterways, and the tourists like this vibrant season, as the forests become orange. The area gets rich in berries as well as mushrooms; whereas golf lovers enjoy this season while others enjoy trekking.

As you can see, if you like the outdoors then Lapland really excels above many other regions for the numerous activities and sites that you can witness while there. It is a special place no doubt!
