In the winter, you can feel the magic of Lapland when the sun stays low and the sky dances with the Northern Lights. From the top of the fells, the landscape reflects thousands of shades of snow white in the winter light while thousands of brilliant stars twinkle down on you from the wide-open sky. As spring approaches, the frost is softer and the sun's warmth is soaked up by the cross-country tracks and ski slope terraces. The spring light is exceptionally bright - something unique to the Arctic region. Midsummer brings a rush of summer festivals, river races and wild flowers. The sun sparkles on the surface of the lakes all night long - and the fun-filled days literally never end! The autumn colors brighten up the nature one more time before the new winter and cover of snow comes again.
