Watch colorful lights dance in the night sky, and explore forests shrouded in fresh snow. Lapland is a fairytale destination that is also dripping in outdoorsy adventure opportunities. Become a reindeer driver and cross the arctic circle, take a dogsled safari, witness the majestic aurora borealis, and even visit the famous “Santa Claus Village”.

Some people may think it's crazy to travel to Finland in the winter, but I think it's the ideal time! What better way to experience the arctic circle than to meet a reindeer or go dogsledding?!
