Aurora Borealis & Glass Igloo

Welcome to Finland – the Land of a thousand lakes.  Arrival to Rovaniemi, the capital of the Finnish Lapland. Lapland is as close as reality gets to those who dream of a winter wonderland. Contrasts are a key factor in the allure of Lapland where 24-hour sunlight in the summer replaces the dark winter days. The hustle and bustle of towns; and ski resorts is just minutes away from the peace and quiet of the wild wilderness.  Find your way to a hotel (Private transfer can be pre-booked in advance).
