Choosing the Perfect Time for Your Journey

Embarking on a Lapland adventure requires thoughtful timing to align with your interests. Whether you’re chasing the Northern Lights or eager to bask in the midnight sun, each season offers a unique experience. Winter months, typically from November to April, transform the landscape into a snowy wonderland, ideal for activities like husky sledding and snowmobiling. On the other hand, the summer season, from June to August, provides endless daylight and opportunities for hiking and wildlife watching in the pristine nature of Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park.

When planning your visit, consider the local events and festivities. Christmas time is magical, with the region turning into a festive playground, while the indigenous Sámi culture’s celebrations offer enriching experiences throughout the year. We can help you align your trip with these events, ensuring you get the most out of your Lapland adventure.

Accommodation and Logistics

Finding the right place to stay is crucial for an immersive Lapland experience. We offer cozy log cabins in Muotkavaara, a serene village nestled between three vibrant Lappish communities. Each cabin is a gateway to the untouched wilderness, with the majestic Jeris Lake and the national park just a stone’s throw away. Whether you prefer the privacy of your own cabin or the camaraderie of shared accommodation, we have options to suit your preferences.

Arriving at Kittilä airport, you’ll find yourself a mere 60km from our doorstep. We recommend renting a car for flexibility, or you can rely on our transfer services to whisk you away to your cabin. Once settled, you’ll find that our location is strategically placed, offering easy access to nearby villages for a taste of local life, yet far enough to ensure a tranquil retreat from the tourist trails.

Embracing Sustainable Travel

As you delve into the wonders of Lapland, it’s important to do so responsibly. We are proud holders of the Good Travel Seal and Sustainable Travel Finland Certificate, reflecting our dedication to preserving the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Preparing for the Arctic Climate

The Arctic climate of Lapland can be a challenge for the unprepared traveler. To fully enjoy your adventure, it’s essential to pack appropriately. During winter, temperatures can plummet, so layering is key. Invest in thermal undergarments, a warm mid-layer, and a waterproof outer layer. Don’t forget accessories like gloves, hats, and insulated boots to keep extremities warm. In summer, while the weather is milder, it’s still wise to bring layers for the cooler evenings and protective gear for hikes.

We also rent out equipment for those who might not have everything they need. From snowshoes to thermal clothing, we’ve got you covered. This way, you can travel lighter and still be prepared for whatever the Lappish weather throws your way.

Finalizing Your Travel Details

Before setting off on your Lapland adventure, ensure all travel details are in order. Check your travel insurance, confirm flight bookings, and review your itinerary with us. We’re here to assist with any last-minute questions or adjustments to your plans. It’s also wise to familiarize yourself with local customs and language basics to enrich your interaction with the community.

Lastly, keep an open mind and flexible attitude. The Arctic environment can be unpredictable, and sometimes plans may need to change due to weather conditions. Trust in our expertise to adapt your itinerary as needed, ensuring your safety and enjoyment throughout your Lapland journey.
