Pictures of Finland in Winter

Pictures Finland Winter. If you search for these three words on the net, you are bound to say Wow! With an open mouth. 😀

Indeed, a dream destination!

What a fantastic feeling it is to look out of the window to see everything being bathed in white. Snow white! Snow!
If you are familiar with this sight and expression then you probably are aware you are in a beautiful place on this earth.

Finland, the Nordic wonderland sandwiched between Sweden and Russia celebrates year 2017 as centenary of its independence with yearlong celebrations. There can’t be a better reason or time than 2017 to visit Finland. In a fun way, you can also learn something about Finland.

Here I show you a slice of winter wonderland called Finland.

Saariselkä

In the wilderness, surrounded by pine trees

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!

I love this picture for everything it depicts about Lapland. Expanse of snow & forests, gloomy day and yet there are colors and life to complement that.

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.

Isn’t it a fairy land? 🙂
Santa has an office too!

Saimaa

Row houses of Holiday Club Resorts
Skating on frozen Lake Saimaa
Reindeer Safari, anyone?
What a blessing to have a Sauna on the frozen lake Saimaa. That’s Sauna house! 🙂

Helsinki

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.

Helsinki Cathedral in Senate Square
Trams run only in Helsinki city and that’s the best part of it. 🙂 Ask me why? .
Helsinki Railway Station. Inside it’s so lively and warm.
These windows stole my heart on a cold gloomy evening
