We have eight seasons, yes you read right, eight! How come you ask yourself, well we have pre-summer, summer,preautumn, autumn etc. This comes from the life of the rein-deers that are wild and can be seen in all Lapland, owned by the Sami people. Their lifecycle has led to the season variables. Although we have four season, we have a long autumn, long winter which normally starts in december, full winter can be expected from January to April, spring a few weeks in May and summer, June to August. In summer we have the constant daylight and temperatures can reach over 30 degrees, beaches are of pure sand and shallow water, perfect for children!

Five large rivers flushes out sweet water in the sea, the Bothnian Bay. They start their journey 500 km in the North Western mountains. The rivers are unpolluted and rrich of life, filled with different salmonfishes that attracts fishermen from all world. Once reaching the sea the water mixes with salt water and becomes brakkish water, that actually freze during winter. That gives the possibility to discover the White Frozen Ice landscape with snowmobiles or go with your own Icebreaker through the meter thick ice.
