CHanging oF tHe seasons

Polar twiligHt I , Lapland welcomes the twilight period; a time when the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon at all during the day. � is phenomenon, also known as the polar night, can last up to 51 days in the northernmost regions of Lapland. � e darkness is, however, brightened by the snow cover, moon and fl aming Northern Lights.

Although the sun does not rise, the twilight time provides a beautiful shade for around four hours a day. In addition to the refl ection of snow, the Northern Lights also brighten the night. � e twilight gives the Lappish winter its own magical qualities. What could possibly be better than travelling in the fell high-lands and enjoying the heavens coloured by the Northern Lights.

T of Northern Lapland lives to the rhythm of the seasons, and the chang-ing of the seasons is more distinct than anywhere else. In November following the arrival of snow, twilight falls upon the region covering the landscape in a blue tint that lasts a couple of months. � e Northern Lights can be spotted in the wintertime

night skies when the temperature is below freezing. In the springtime, the glisten-ing snowscapes appear with the sunshine which continues to shine day and night during the summer months. Au-tumn vibrantly colours the nature for hikers to enjoy.

things to do tHe tHrill oF snowY sPeeDT to experience the spectacu-lar passing snow scapes is by sitting in a sleigh pulled by cute huskies. Riding a team of dogs through the fell regions is an experience which gives plenty of memories to take home. On a guided husky safari, a fi rst-timer can safely enjoy the magic of the fells, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Faster way to approach the glistening snow scapes is to try snowmobiling! � ere are 1000 km of snowmobile tracks and routes in Northern Lapland. Local enterprises hire out snowmobiles and arrange guided safaris, allowing you to learn driving safely.

Let the inner child in you loose and head to Fin-land’s most thrilling toboggan run. � ere’s plenty of time to enjoy speeding down the hill from the summit of Kaunispää, as the distance to the bot-tom in the centre of the Saariselkä resort is 1.2 kilometres. You can reach the Kaunispää summit either on foot or by car along the road.

Try speeding around on snow and ice, quick breaking and tight bends in Saariselkä´s Ac-tion Park. Become enthralled by winter driving, as well as snow and ice karting on a safe track, with the help of a professional guide. � ere are a number of winter driving alternatives to choose from, providing exciting activities for the whole family, as well as being a great team spirit build-ing experience for company groups.
