My Lapland Adventure

A Magical Winter Escape to True Lapland In February,

I set off on an incredible three-night adventure to Kilpisjärvi, the last outpost of Finnish Lapland. Staying at Tundrea, a cosy retreat at the foot of Saana Fell, I was surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Arctic tundra. The Wau Haus, my accommodation, was a highlight—offering a private sauna, kitchen, and seating area. However, the real magic was the glass-domed bedroom, allowing me to fall asleep under a sky full of stars and, if lucky, the mesmerizing northern lights. As an added touch, tea and coffee were provided, making it even more relaxing to warm up after a day in the snow. My adventure truly began with an exhilarating snowmobile safari in search of the aurora borealis. Racing across the frozen Lake Kilpisjärvi, we chased the elusive lights, and when they finally appeared, it was an unforgettable sight—vivid green waves dancing across the dark Arctic sky.

The next day, we embarked on the Three Borders Safari, an experience like no other. In just 30 seconds, we stood in three different countries—Finland, Sweden, and Norway! The vast, untouched Arctic wilderness stretched endlessly around us, making the journey feel surreal. Snowmobiling across the frozen landscapes, with nothing but silence and white expanses, was a true escape into nature. Despite the long transfer to Kilpisjärvi, every moment was worth it. Tundrea’s full-board dining ensured we were well-fed with a variety of delicious meals catering to all tastes. After long days in the snow, there was nothing better than unwinding in the sauna, warming up with hearty food, and reflecting on the day‘s adventures. Conveniently, there is also a supermarket just across the road, perfect for picking up souvenirs, snacks, or even alcohol if you wish to enjoy a drink in the cosy warmth of your cabin.

Lapland was everything I had imagined—wild, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful. Whether it was the thrill of the snowmobiles or the peace of stargazing from my bed, this trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
