Picture yourself waking up to the sound of wilderness, spending the day crossing the expanse in the dramatic landscapes of Lapland, appeasing your hunger for adventure. Kids waste no time in rushing outside to make their snowmen while adults dig out equipments for their winter sports activities in Lapland.
Finland. I immediately fell in love with the country and its people. The temperature was mostly subzero but the warmth in people’s heart overpowered it. The arrival of the cold, dark, snowy winter doesn’t mean life stops. On the contrary Finns not only survive it, but enjoy it! And we did the same!
Doesn’t matter if Helsinki has little snow, there’s often up to a metre or more on the skiing slopes of Lapland. The snow season in northern Finland begins in November and lasts at least until May.

Winter in Finland varies in duration from three to seven months, depending on the part of the country, but regardless of location, it’s cold, dark and snowy. But these adjectives don’t disrupt life. Finns will get to do their daily chores and go to work or school in the morning, no matter how cold it is or how much snow has fallen. The people of Finland know how to make the most of the winter months.
