Log cabin lapland

Lapland $16.99 LAPLAND Finnish Lapland is a region of around ninety four thousand square kilometres covered by forests and marshland, similar to Swedish Lapland. The local inhabitants live in harmony with nature and the six thousand five hundred Sami people have managed to preserve their unique landscape right up until the present day. Rovaniemi is a modern and lively main town in northern Finland and the gateway to Lapland. The famous Arktikum Museum provides a comprehensive insight into life in the Artic Circle. Two large rivers, the Ounasjoki and the Kemijoki, meet in Rovaniemi from were lumberjacks and gold prospectors once embarked upon their pioneering adventures. Today the city is a centre of tourism. Pajakyla is the home of Santa Claus and is open throughout the year. In the Arctic Circle eight kilometres north of the city is a special attraction that attracts six hundred thousand visitors each year: several tiny log cabins contain Santa's work rooms and a number of his helpers in traditional Lap costume offer a variety of colourful arts and crafts. In Lapland each season of the year has a special charm. The summer months are warm, in autumn the leaves shine out in golden yellow and in winter the landscape is covered with snow and ice. The hilly landscape of the large Pallas Ounastunturi National Park is located in the north west, close to the Swedish border and its treeless slopes make it one of the most popular winter ski resorts in Finland. Lapland is a land of countless myths and legends where remoteness, adventure and romance have managed to survive and where the power of nature is still very much aliveSource: Travel Video Store

Nordic Skiing in magical Lapland

Nordic Skiing, better known as cross country skiing, can be done as well as slope skiing or as an alternative for those of you visiting Lapland who have never tried it before. All equipment can be hired, from the skis, poles, to the clothing if you require it.  With 320km of mechanically prepared trails, cross country skiing in Lapland will certainly not disappoint. If you visit Lapland around Christmas time you will encounter lots of skiers, many of them locals, cross country skiing is seen in Lapland as their winter sport. 38km of trails are illuminated and on Christmas Eve it is a Lapland tradition to participate in cross country skiing.

Children are well catered for and are able to be fitted with everything they need in order to cross country ski.  With 320 km of trails you may feel a little put off but there are plenty of route variations and you can make your journey as long or as short as you like. If you have never cross country skied, don't worry, many of the professionals will simply skate around you until you find your feet. There really is no better sport to try whilst in Lapland, the tracks are pleasantly quiet and the lights add to the magical aura of Lapland.  All that can be heard is the snow beneath your skis and of course you may see the odd reindeer on your trek.   Like all activities in Lapland, cross country skiing can be enjoyed by the whole family and why not keep hold of your skis for the whole holiday, that way you can enjoy the cross country skiing at any time day or night, the ski tracks are open quite late and it isn't unusual in Lapland to go cross country skiing until 8.00 o clock at night.

 

Of course after cross country skiing you will certainly want some refreshments, so why not stop off at one of the really good local restaurants where the food and drink are excellent before retiring back to your Lapland Log Cabin for a really good night's sleep.
