Snow is Falling

From the moment Lapland receives its first dusting of snow, an annual wintry transformation begins: the mass blankets of snow deepen, the starry nights draw darker, and once-flowing rivers and streams are frozen to a glistening standstill. The heralding of the festive season is crowned by the reappearance of the dancing Northern Lights overhead. Christmas is coming, magic is in the air, and the excitement is palpable. It's all building up to this. 

It makes sense that Santa would choose to make this his home – this is True Lapland, after all. And when we say it’s the best place to spend the festive period, you can believe that’s very much true as well. Forests of trees bowing under the weight of the snow, the delicious crispness of the cleanest air in the world, and vast expanses of untouched snow which stretch to the horizon. This is Lapland as you imagined it: picture perfect. It's almost like stepping into your own personal snow globe. 

At the centre of True Lapland is Karesuando, a quaint little village in the far north of Finland – far away from the mass-market resorts of Saariselka and Rovaniemi. Here, a timeless charm abounds, and curious traditions hold sway. It's an ideal place to step into a winter adventure involving husky sleds, reindeer sleighs and snowmobiles. Don’t forget to make a visit to Santa on your trip – you’ve travelled a long way to see him! But... how does he remember your name? Never underestimate Father Christmas! Or his homeland.
