Details Lapland Holidays in summer.

A trip to Lapland in summer is a completely different holidays than Lapland Travel in winter. In summer the green color of the forests reigns, the pleasant smell of pines and fir trees walking along the trails and the Midnight Sun. You can enjoy water activities such as a boat ride along its brave rivers, get on board a floating sauna, practice yoga in the woods, make a visit to the village of Santa Claus in summer, sleep in a floating igloo to see the Aurora Borealis, taste the best meat of the king crab, make a short wheel sleigh safari with husky dogs through the green forests or a one-day visit to a reindeer farm.

In summer we propose a route through Lapland from the south to the north, alternating the cities of most tourist interest and with a greater offer of leisure, culture and fun, alternated with the most attractive summer activities. A medium distance drive route, varied with stops where we suggest you admire the views, the pure nature of the forests of Lapland and the most strategic points to make a stop, a picnic or some Finnish long coffee with chocolate from the brand Fazer.

A good starting point for the trip to Lapland in summer is to start with the capital Helsinki. Helsinki in summer transforms into a pleasant city, full of restaurants and bars, outdoor swimming pools in the harbor of Helsinki, terraces with much joy from the local people, and the possibility to visit the islands near Helsinki by bike or walking.

We suggest a summer trip to Rovaniemi, capital of Finnish Lapland, where you will find the official residence of Santa Claus and his post office, right on the edge of the Arctic Circle.

After arriving at your cabin and resting your first day in Lapland you will do a river cruise on traditional boats or on water bikes for the most adventurous on the rivers Ounasjoki and Kemijoki.

The cruise will take you to an authentic reindeer farm, there you will discover the secrets of the breeding of this animal and its importance to the Sami people.

You will live the experience of making an authentic special sleigh sled safari with Huskies in summer! We will take you to one of the best Husky dog farms, where they will teach you all about the Husky dogs and after the explanation of how to drive a special sleigh with huskies, you will go out en route through the green forests in a unique environment, near a large lake. A privileged environment! On the return of the safari there is time to visit the farm, take pictures with the huskies and if there are husky puppies see and touch some small husky dogs!
