Come to Lapland in January and February: Arctic Silence and Winter Light at Silver Birch Resort

January embodies the heart of the Arctic winter. Temperatures are at their lowest, the air is sharp and clean, and the vast forests rest under a pristine blanket of snow. As a result, this deep stillness softens all sounds. Time seems to stop, allowing you to fully absorb the unique enchantment of Lapland. Indeed, it is an ideal retreat for finding peace away from the holiday bustle.

The Magic of Winter Light in January

Although daylight hours are brief, the light that emerges is extraordinary. Specifically, the low sun paints the sky in soft pastel colours, and the famous winter "blue moments" cast a dreamlike glow, perfect for serene snowshoeing or cross-country skiing excursions.

The Ultimate Night Sky Experience from Glass Cabins

The consistently clear, long nights of January create ideal conditions for viewing the celestial phenomena.

At Silver Birch Resort, we ensure you don't miss a moment: thanks to minimal light pollution at our private lakeside location, you can observe the wonders of the Arctic night sky, including the Northern Lights, directly from the warmth and comfort of your private glass cabin.

In February, daylight returns rapidly. Mornings brighten earlier, and the sun climbs higher. Consequently, the pristine white, untouched snows of February invite you to step out and to lie down in the soft snow and make a snow angel, gaze up at the stars, and watch the northern lights dance across the sky.

February is a wonderful time for longer outings, as the extended hours of daylight allow for unhurried, active adventures. For example, you can try skiing or trek through the forests on snowshoes.

Embracing Adventure: Longer Outings and Expeditions

The returning light in February makes it ideal for more extensive exploration. Feel the thrill of an exhilarating husky safari across frozen lakes or join an expedition to Korouoma Canyon, where towering cliffs and frozen waterfalls create a breathtaking winter spectacle. Crucially, these activities cater perfectly to sports and nature lovers who value increased daylight hours.
