Did you know that Lapland is not actually a country in itself, but is in fact made up of regions in Northern Finland, Sweden and Norway, all located inside the Arctic Circle? Lapland is traditionally the home of nomadic reindeer herders and of course Lapland's most famous resident… Santa Claus!

During the peak travel season, December to February, the region experiences an average temperature range of about - 16 °C (3 °F) to 3 °C (37 °F) depending on location, with occasional lows of about - 30 °C (-22 °F) or colder with wind chill. Thankfully, the dry, crisp air has a moderating effect on the temperatures

Lapland only has an average of 5 hours of daylight a day known as "grey light" - this is generally between 10 am and 3 pm - The rest of the time is like nighttime. Daytime temperature is normally around 0 to -20 degrees but it can fall to -40 in extreme conditions.

Throughout the year in Lapland, NOT spotting a reindeer is close to a miracle, as these animals often feed close to roads and dwellings. Spotting reindeer while skiing is not unusual, either. Even though they roam free, reindeer are semi-domesticated: half tame, half wild. Every animal you see in a Finnish forest is owned by a herder.

Lapland, Finland is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. This region sees the Northern Lights 200 out of 300 nights in a year! Those are pretty incredible odds! Sure, the probability is skewed more towards the winter months and depends on a few additional factors

The food in Lapland is based on the seasons and local delicacies. There are, of course, many reindeer meat dishes, fish like Perch and Arctic char and salmon. Numerous dishes with delicate sauces use local berries like cloudberries, lingonberries, blueberries, crowberries and cranberries. Whatever your dietary requirements Lapland has something to suit.

Short answer, a lot. In mid-March every year, most of Lapland has between 60-80 cm of snow depth, but a few places have even deeper snow. Kilpisjärvi regularly has 2 meters of snow in winter!

Though we don’t know the exact numbers, there are more reindeer here than there are people. Throughout Lapland, there are a number of reindeer ride operators and agritourism reindeer herders, and it’s not uncommon to see a half-wild reindeer herd enjoying a summer day in a field
