Summer in Finland
What to expect
Set in the quiet forests near Ivalo in far northern Finland, this summer Lapland itinerary is a restorative escape shaped by nature, gentle activity and Arctic light. You’ll stay at a cosy, family-run glass igloo resort, where your Aurora Glass Cabin is tucked among the trees, perfectly positioned for lingering sunsets and the soft glow of the midnight sun filtering through the night.
Wellness is woven naturally into the experience. A Panorama Sauna session with outdoor jacuzzi invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and take in the surrounding forest, while unhurried days unfold outdoors at your own pace. Complimentary use of canoes, fishing rods and bicycles encourages easy exploration, and the resort’s Kota and Laavu campfire sites create ideal settings for mindful lakeside moments or relaxed evenings by the fire.
Guided experiences add depth without rush, including a hike in Urho Kekkonen National Park, a gentle husky hiking experience, and a fat bike tour through the surrounding wilderness. Cultural connection comes through a visit to Inari village and the Sami Siida Museum, offering thoughtful insight into Sámi culture and life in the Arctic north.
Evenings are sociable yet low-key, with dinner served in the welcoming Kota restaurant, where guests often linger over stories from the day. Alternatively, you may choose a DIY lakeside barbecue, perhaps adding a freshly caught fish if luck is on your side.
It is this balance of comfort, culture and quiet adventure that led award-winning travel writer Rob McFarland to highlight 'Summer in Lapland, Finland and Sweden' as one of the world’s most underrated travel experiences.
