Every visit to Kuusamo Lapland is a startling new adventure, where
unique experiences come to life with the rhythm of the changing
seasons. Many visitors who have experienced the magic of one season
are already planning their next escape into Kuusamo’s thrilling
wilderness!
Experience nature as you never have before. Here, the Arctic Circle
creates its own light, which varies in hue and intensity during
every season of the year. In the winter, you can feel the magic
of Lapland when the sun stays low and the sky dances with the Northern
Lights. From the top of the fells, the landscape refects thousands
of shades of snow white in the winter light while thousands of brilliant
stars twinkle down on you from the wide-open sky.
A peaceful area with lots of space, sights, activity programmes,
sportive and cultural events, excellent cuisine and accommodations,
personal attention, a new cross border station to the East. But
above all there is a lot of NATURE! The last wilderness of Europe.
In all seasons worth visiting. A paradise for hikers, skiers and
nature lovers.
