Many consider Finnish Lapland as the closest thing to a winter wonderland that can also be enjoyed at other times of the year such as spring and summer. A magical place that offers many experiences and activities that you can not enjoy in almost any other place on earth. Such as the phenomenon known as "The Midnight Sun" or "White Nights", about 76 days- and no nights- between May and July that replace the dark winter days, which gives you more time to enjoy the unforgettable landscapes and to discover many new things. During this spectacular adventure you will be able to admire the beauty of the Northern Lights, which can be seen between mid-August and early April, usually appearing between the hours of 10. 00 p. m. and 02. 00 a. m. . Can you picture a romantic dinner under the iridescent light of the Aurora Borealis? It's simply unforgettable! During this northern European tour of mysteries and treasures, you can become personally acquainted with none other than Father Christmas himself who, despite keeping his home a secret, has a post office in the town of Rovaniemi, the starting point of this once-in-a-lifetime Route. You can also follow in the footsteps of ancient explorers to the Arctic Circle and discover the Sami culture - considered the only indigenous people of the Old Continent - firsthand. You can sample the traditional food of these distant lands, where dishes made from the freshest ingredients and those based on reindeer meat stand out. And enjoy activities such as snowmobile safaris and sled rides pulled by huskies or reindeer, or even sail the frozen sea aboard a magnificent icebreaker. .. Or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of a place that is hard to find anywhere else on earth. In autumn you can reveal in the "ruska", the moment when the leaves change their colours becoming red, yellow and orange, a phenomenon that is more spectacular the farther north you go. Without question, the "Finnish Lapland Route" is an adventure to remember.
