USEFUL INFORMATION

Climate

Winter (December to February): Winter in Lapland is cold, with temperatures often ranging from -10°C to -30°C (14°F to -22°F). However, the air is dry, and the sun barely rises during the polar night, creating a stunning atmosphere for the Northern Lights. Warm layers, thermal wear, and a high-quality winter coat are essential.
Spring (March to May): While still chilly, temperatures begin to warm up slightly, and the days get longer. Snow is still abundant, and the Northern Lights are still visible well into March.
Autumn (September to November): The weather can be quite unpredictable, with early snowfalls and the aurora season beginning as the nights lengthen. If you’re lucky, you may catch the Northern Lights beginning in September.
Summer (June to August): Though beautiful, this tour is designed for winter and is not ideal for summer visits, as the Northern Lights are not visible due to the midnight sun.
