During Lappland in Winter

In Lapland you can experience the real winter with lots of snow, cold days and nights, beautiful light and an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Fire trees bend under the weight of the snow, reindeer roam the forest in search of food, and if you're lucky you might see a moose stomping through the snow. However, the visitor is offered not only a fascinating, endless and white natural landscape, but also an incomparable peace and solitude: if you walk a little off the beaten track with snowshoes, you may hear nothing - except your own breath - if there is no wind .

In wintery Lapland, author Thomas Momsen has discovered a landscape like he has never seen before - and has experienced an all-encompassing silence that may initially seem irritating, even almost frightening, but which one ultimately always seeks. Yet, away from the silence, there are many opportunities to embark on winter adventures and discover Lapland: The culture of the Sami people, dog sledding, Northern Lights, large ski areas, delicious food and very warm people.

This special travel guide provides an overview of all the activities you can do in Lapland in winter, offers five routes to explore the region and provides information about campsites open all year round. Above all, it describes the many rewarding experiences and encounters, both large and small, that bring the winter traveler closer to Norway, Sweden and Finland. Lots of interesting information about the Northern Lights and a detailed photo course complete this travel guide.
