The best time to visit Lapland depends on the Arctic magic you want to experience. When the snow starts to melt in April, May and June, Lapland reveals sparkling rivers, peaceful lakes and silver birch forests in full bloom, perfect for guests wanting to see Lapland’s wild beauty beyond the snow.
However, most visitors booking our Lapland holiday packages dream of a true winter fairytale. For crisp dark skies, deep snow and the chance to spot the magical Aurora Borealis, the best Lapland holidays run from November to March, when Finnish winter is at its peak.
Lapland sits high inside the Arctic Circle, which means it has a true subarctic climate – a big part of what makes a holiday in Lapland so enchanted. Visitors booking our Lapland holiday packages can expect long, cold winters with deep snow and dreamy Polar Nights, when the sun barely rises and the landscape glows in soft pastel blues and pinks.
In winter months like November, temperatures often dip to around -6°C, so pack plenty of warm layers to get the most from your time outdoors.
If you plan your Lapland holiday in the summer, you’ll discover a different side of the region. In July and August, temperatures can reach 20°C, turning Lapland into a bright, green wilderness. Ideal for travellers who want the best Lapland holidays in every season.
Getting around on your holiday to Lapland is part of the adventure. Many of our guests discover modes of travel they’ve never tried before.

For a true Lapland adventure holiday, swap roads for snow trails. Travel by snowmobile, mush your own dogsled team, ride a reindeer sleigh or even glide on skis through snowy forests. However you choose to move, your Lapland holiday package is sure to feel unforgettable from start to finish.
