Meet Sophie – A Girl who Conquered Lapland

This epic winter expedition involved a select group of outdoor enthusiasts from around the world who spent three months in Finnish Lapland experiencing the wonders and challenges of winter.

One of the explorers was Sophie Nolan the UK. See how she sums up her unforgettable experience in the northern wilderness.

In Lapland, swapping the hustle and bustle of ski resorts and cities to the peace and quiet of the wilderness takes mere minutes.

“I had a though that Lapland is just a Christmas destination, but the truth is that it’s everything else that Lapland has to offer. December and March offer completely different forms of winter. Sunshine in the coldness was so special.”
“–20°C sounds a lot worse than it is. In the first days we couldn’t even stand -7°C, but soon we learned how to adapt and also dress according to the weather.”
“The stars look unreal in Lapland. The air is so clear. Watching the stars and northern lights in the wilderness is an incredible experience. Not quite like anything else.”
“I love Finnish national parks and these cabins where you can go and either just have lunch or stay for the night.”
“Ice climbing was my favourite part. We were staying in a cottage in the national park and there was no one else around us. The waterfalls in different colours were incredible.”
“The colder it gets, the clearer the skies are and the surroundings look more beautiful. You might feel frozen, but the views you get are worth it.”
“Sometimes I base my holidays only on the activity. Here I realised that you can just make your way through nature and that’s all you need. Just being in a landscape like this is enough.”
