The happiest country in the world is the land of a thousand lakes and offers easy access to forests. Finland is also known for its sauna culture, Santa Claus, northern lights, the Moomins and more. Stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic Circle, and easily accessible via air and sea, each season offers something new and worth experiencing. 

From glass huts designed for aurora-spotting to hotels made entirely of snow, Finland’s accommodations are as unique as its terrain.

Finland has four unique seasons – light-filled summer, colour-drenched autumn, frost-glazed winter, and bloom-covered spring. Each season offers something new – whether you’re looking for peace and quiet or adrenaline-filled adventures.

Summer in Finland is a time spent outside the house enjoying this short but sweet season of white nights. Finnish winters are crisp, glittery and full of snow. It is the time for warm woollen jumpers, cosy log fires and the many wintery activities. Spring and autumn are the best seasons to see the Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland. Late summer and autumn are ideal for foraging and enjoying colourful autumn foliage. The spring months (until early May) offer the best skiing in Lapland – in the south, the snow will be gone by then. There is something to do in the cities year-round – and the sauna is always on. Did you know you can meet Santa on every day of the year?
