Intense cold
In midwinter, temperatures in Lapland are usually well below zero, with very few hours of daylight.
What to do: Thermal layers, a hat, gloves and snow boots; many places to stay rent out thermal suits. It’s the season of Father Christmas and the northern lights.
- April, May
The thaw
In spring the snow melts: muddy paths and the end of the winter activity season in Lapland.
What to do: For snow, March is best; for nature and light, from June.
- June, July
Mosquitoes in Lapland
In early summer there are lots of mosquitoes in Lapland and the lake regions.
What to do: Repellent and long sleeves at dusk. In return, the midnight sun.
