Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall - The Home of Santa Has It All!

Add the Finnish natural environment to a national insistence on comfort and quality and you get a unique and winning combination – at any time of the year. In a world that is acutely aware of the value of natural environment and fresh, unpolluted air, Finland’s attractions are increasingly obvious.

Even better, Finland’s treasures, though extremely different from season to season, can be shared at any point on the calendar. Far from being a time to withdraw and simply plan for the summer, for example, winter is when many of Finland’s most exotic opportunities come to the fore. Reindeer safaris, ice swimming, icebreaker cruises, downhill skiing, snowboarding, the spectacular Northern Lights, castles of ice and snow, warm shops and restaurants and other urban comforts in which to retreat at the end of an active day, and all of it set against the sparkling backdrop of a frost-bound, pristine winter landscape: as a winter destination, Finland is hard to beat.
