Landscapes here are ever-changing: send your Insta account into overdrive with sceneries ranging from mighty fells and vast bogs to forested areas, all featuring every tone of green on the color wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>Whether you embark on a 5 or 25 km trail, a visit to an open-wilderness hut is a must.

The only time the Fins pause the slow life in summer is during Juhannes. This epic celebration is usually held on the third weekend in June, and is an excuse for lakeside bonfires, drinking games, skinny dipping, and all-you-can-eat feasts of grilled sausages served with mustard and washed down with beer. You can even host your own party at your log cabin, which will undoubtedly be enhanced by the flickering lights and sounds of laughter from neighbouring fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can head to Levi or Pyh\u00e4: both have a restaurant on top of a fell that opens for midsummer. Expect to be warmed by the mother of all bonfires and large groups of locals in high spirits. You\u2019ll be one of very few visitors to make it up there, but don\u2019t worry, the Fins are a friendly bunch and always at the ready to slap you on the back and include you in the conversation. If dips in blue lakes and sipping cider under a sun that never sets sounds like music to your ears, it\u2019s settled. You\u2019re going to Finnish Lapland this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long and harsh winter, Midsummer, or Juhannes, marks the start of warm sunny weather in Europe&#8217;s most unlikely [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":42980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_scheduled":false},"categories":[4,84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","category-finland"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
