We love Lapland for…
Between endless stretches of snow and forests with a magical atmosphere, Lapland is a true white paradise.
Meet reindeer, the emblematic animal of Lapland (where you can find more reindeer than inhabitants!), foxes, white hares, lynxes, seals… The vast forests, Baltic islands and immaculate hills offer an ideal habitat to many wild species.
Lapland offers the opportunity to admire one of the most beautiful natural phenomena in the world: the Northern Lights. Go hunting for these magnificent green waves which sometimes even turn purple or red – a show that will leave you speechless!
A must-do activity on a trip to Lapland, the forest ride on a dog sled is a memorable experience! The infectious enthusiasm of the huskies will warm your heart as you enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Lappish forests.
A real institution in Lapland, the sauna is part of the local way of life and is ideal for a moment of relaxation. To be enjoyed without restraint after a long day of snowshoeing!

Every year when the winter comes, the pristine waters the meandering of Torne River slow down and freeze into ice. On one chilly day in 1989, the first ever Icehotel was hand-sculpted out of these massive ice blocks harvested from this very river running alongside.
Each winter since the first and the original Icehotel was built, passionate artists gather in the modest town of Jukkasjäarvi to build a new rendition of this Arctic wonder. When the spring comes, the hotel is then left to melt and find its way back to nature.
