Feature
Lapland :
It is beyond the Arctic Polar Circle, north of Norway, Sweden and Finland that Lapland is stretching out over 400 000 km2 of Boreal Forest, mountains, fjords and tundra brushed by the icy winds. A true wild land, without a doubt, the most preserved in Europe, which is even more impressive to travel all over in winter. It is, indeed, when the taiga is caught by the cold, that the plentiful of snow is polishing the reliefs and covers the numerous lakes that the feeling of immensity and serenity seized the most the visitor. December and January are the months of the Polar night; the sun stays underneath the skyline 24 hour a day and a strange blue light plunges the landscapes in an unreal atmosphere. Then the warm Scandinavian light enlightens the frozen landscapes from the end of January to March, period then favorable to the practice of many Northern activities like: sled dog, snow-bike, skiing, rackets, ice fishing‌ the opportunity to discover a unique natural environment, to observe the rare species which stay to brave the Lapland winter among which the owl, the elk, the reindeer, the otter, the Royal eagle‌ and to come home in a typical nice and warm log cabin for a sauna and a glass of blueberry Vodka. For the ones who wish to continue their Lapp experience until the end, you still have to spend a night at the Ice hotel (Ice Hotel, Jukkasjarvi, Swenden) rebuilt every year in a different way and mold by artists from all over the world or in an glass igloo (Hotel Kakslauttanen, Saariselka, Finland) to have the unique privilege to observe from your cozy bed the magic spirals of aurora borealis‌
