Come to Lapland in March & April: Your Guide to Late Winter Adventure

In the opinion of many, March is the absolute climax of winter activities. The days are significantly longer than in January and February, yet the frost keeps the snow cover in optimum condition.

Long ski treks in the open fell areas or snowmobile safaris are ideal during this time. The bright sunshine warms your spirit, even if the thermometer shows sub-zero temperatures. If you are a winter sports enthusiast, book your place on a ski trekking trip and experience the snow-covered forests and the vast landscapes of Lapland.

Still a Chance to Catch the Aurora

Despite the increasing light, you can still admire the shimmering Northern Lights in the night sky. Join a guided Northern Lights Snowshoeing Tour to see the aurora borealis.

As we move from the stable winter conditions of March into April, a Lapland holiday brings with it a whole new atmosphere.

During the day, the air can be well above freezing, making outdoor activities pleasantly warm. The sun may warm you, and you’ll want to switch your thick winter clothes for something lighter when spending time outdoors.

When the daily temperature fluctuates from above freezing to twenty degrees below zero at night, you experience true freedom of movement. The snow crust is firm enough to carry you, allowing you to walk, cycle, or snowshoe almost anywhere, regardless of official trails.

In April, Lapland's nature slowly wakes up. For instance, the sun may already be melting small streams. Their murmur creates a unique soundscape. You might be lucky enough to see migratory birds returning from the south. The return of the white swans is a joyful sign that summer is coming, even though there is still plenty of snow on the ground.

Enjoy late-evening outdoor activities in the beautiful Lapland scenery! Despite the increasing light, you still have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights even in mid-April.

Although skiing and snowshoeing are highly recommended, the popular husky and reindeer safaris are still available throughout March and April.

For example, experience an authentic Lappish day with a combined snowshoeing and ice fishing trip. On the tour, you get to walk through pristine forests and try traditional ice fishing on an immense frozen lake. This is the perfect moment to enjoy the silence of the Arctic wilderness before your guide prepares traditional campfire snacks.
