The Land of the Midnight Sun When you think of Lapland, images of snow and Father Christmas spring to mind. But did you know that Lapland during the summer is just as magical an experience as Lapland in winter? Between June and July temperatures average at around 20°C, and the sun never sets, which is how it came to be known as

Land of the Midnight Sun. It is an ideal destination for anyone interested in fishing, hiking and bicycling, or anyone just wanting to soak up the scenery. This years midsummer celebrations are drawing to a close and the local people are heading to their summer cabins for their traditional family holidays. Soon the nights will draw in as we head for Ruska, the beautiful autumnal season. For more details of summer activities in Lapland visit the website of our sister company A La Carte, Lapland

Did you know?
Reindeer have a varied diet during the summer, eating all types of plants. In the winter they mainly eat lichens. Lichens look like small, crusty pieces of moss, but they are actually a fungus and a green algae. Reindeer love carrots and other greens but their favourite is pieces of apple with the skin still on!
