Winter in Swedish Lapland lasts for six long months, and we are happy about that! Winter has many different faces. The first snow powders the autumn-colored trees in October. Nights grow longer and the Sun sets for the last time of the year in November. The sky radiates a special blue light that only exists above the polar circle. Lakes freeze, the forest get caught under a thick snow blanket and the sky fills with northern lights. After Christmas, light slowly comes back and we celebrate it by making 1000 ice lanterns. March and April are according to some people the best time of the year, when you can enjoy long sunny days and still great amounts of snow.
Winter is a wonderful time to ice fish, ski, drive snow-scooter and hunt for auroras, but even take some cosy time by a campfire.
