Lapland in the summer transforms into a land of vibrant greens, unexpected sunshine, and unique wildlife encounters.

Here are some surprises that Lapland nature has in store for you during the summer months:

Midnight Sun: One of the most unforgettable experiences in Lapland during summer is witnessing the midnight sun. From late May to late July, the sun never fully dips below the horizon, creating an ethereal twilight that lasts for weeks. Imagine enjoying picnics or hikes bathed in this magical golden light!

Wildlife Encounters: While reindeer are a year-round resident, summer is a great time to spot other interesting animals. You might come across playful arctic foxes, majestic moose, or even shy bears. Keep an eye out for various bird species like ptarmigans and eagles soaring through the sky.

Blooming Landscapes: Lapland isn’t just snow and ice! During the summer, the fells (rocky hills) explode with colorful wildflowers like purple rhododendrons, yellow buttercups, and bluebells. These vibrant blooms transform the landscape into a painter’s paradise.

Warm and Sunny Days: Lapland in the summer enjoys surprisingly warm weather. Temperatures can reach up to the high teens (Celsius), perfect for enjoying outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and kayaking.

Berry Picking: Forage for delicious berries like blueberries, lingonberries, and cloudberries that ripen during the summer months. Imagine enjoying a fresh berry pie made from your own harvest!

So, ditch the winter coat and embrace the unexpected beauty of summer in Lapland!
