national parks
Saariselkä
Winter wonderland in the northern part of Finnish Lapland. Here you will find a stunning National Park where you can wander around for hours. Lots of amazing accommodation options and the longest toboggan ride of Europe. Nature and adrenaline at it's finest!
Lively
Levi
Kittila Airport is conveniently less than 20 minutes away from Levi. Ski slopes and the vibrant aires-ski atmosphere that is characteristic of the Alps may be found in Levi. Expect larger crowds, but if you know where to look, you can also discover nature and serenity here.
off the beaten track
Kilpisjärvi
Take a different route. Kilpisjärvi is located in the triangle formed by Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Anticipate stunning views of the surroundings, which include the Saana Fell. You will find pure peace here because not many tourists visit.
Frozen lakes
Inari
White, snowy scenery for kilometers. Lake Inari, which is more than 80 kilometers wide and totally frozen in the winter, is well-known for a reason. Enjoy its splendor while riding your snowmobile. Inari is also an excellent spot to go if you don't want the rush of a snowmobile and would rather relax or learn more about the history of Lapland and the Sami. The museum will provide you with knowledge on Sami culture.
wintersport paradise
Ruka
Because it is situated just below the Arctic Circle, it is officially not a part of Lapland. Nonetheless, if you enjoy winter sports, it's well worth the trip. With the Polar Night Light Festival taking place in the ski resort, January is the ideal month. Easily accessible by car if you're going to other parts of Lapland or from Kuusama airport.
Nature & culture
Pyhä
A perfectly located hidden gem. Pyhä-Luosto National Park offers breathtaking surroundings with unique cultural features. Pyhä is well worth the journey, and it's even accessible from Rovaniemi via bus. When organizing your trip to Lapland, don't overlook this jewel.
