Our commitment extends beyond our operations, as we actively collaborate with local organizations and support initiatives aimed at preserving the region's biodiversity and cultural heritage.

We prioritize animal welfare and are fully dedicated to upholding guidelines and rules pertaining to the well-being of animals. We recognize the importance of treating animals with care, compassion, and respect. Our company diligently adheres to established guidelines and regulations to ensure that all our interactions with animals, whether in our premises or as part of our services, meet the highest standards of welfare.

We strive to create an environment where animals are treated with kindness and receive the appropriate care they deserve.

We believe in the power of education and engagement. Through our sustainability plan, we aim to inform and inspire our guests, providing them with opportunities to learn about local nature, culture, and sustainable practices.

Why visit in the Spring?
In Finnish, we call the Lappish Spring ‘Kevättalvi’. There’s a beautiful balance between all the Winter perks, milder temperatures and more hours of daylight. Ideal for those looking to get the most out of the snow!
Why visit in the Summer?
Escape the heatwaves of regions closer to the equator, with temperatures rarely exceeding 20°C. Enjoy the quiet, peaceful and pristine nature of Lapland!
Why visit in the Autumn?
Temperatures are mild, there’s less crowd and nights are very dark which allows for amazing Northern Lights viewings. Plus: Enjoy Aurora Square! You’ll be able to see breathtaking Northern Lights reflections on unfrozen rivers and lakes.
Why visit in the Winter?
Sub-zero temperatures ensure there’s plenty of snow and outdoor fun for the whole family! The sun is only up for a few hours, making the Winter a great time to view Northern Lights. Cold nights tend to have a clear sky, with green, purple and red shades of the Aurora Borealis!
