The cold, windy air hitting my nose and cheeks in Michigan reminds me of Swedish Lapland. We visited Abisko and Kiruna, and even crossed the border into Norway for an afternoon. From visiting the ice hotel I saw in Nat Geo as a third grader to sledding in the town after bar hopping, riding on the back of a dog sled, feeding the reindeer and seeing the Northern Lights (three times!), Lapland was probably the happiest week of my life…
Great pics. Finnish Lapland offers more. For example, You can meet Santa, Visit Eleanor Roosevelt’s log cabin, visit world’s biggest snow castle, make reindeer rides and even participate in reindeer races which are open for everybody and they are free.

Happy and safe travels!

Thank you for this information! I was in Sweden for a semester in college and this was actually a school trip! I hope to visit Finnish Lapland one day!
