Your Destination —
Lapland
Winter is the longest of the Lappish seasons and lasts approximately 200 days. In Kittilä on the 11th of December, the Polar Night begins, when the sun does not rise above the horizon. It is an experience in itself. Even though the sun does not appear, there are approximately 6 hours of daylight during the day and the glow from the moon, the snow and the Northern Lights give a fairytale-like atmosphere for the winter activities.
