FIND YOUR OWN PIECE OF LAPPISH MAGIC.

when the sun

does not go down 

Ever dreamed about the endless light around you? With us you can experience that for real. From mid-May until the end of July the sun does not go below the horizon. The phenomenon is called the Midnight sun / the Nightless nights / the White nights. But don`t you worry. With proper curtains we make sure you are able to sleep well on your holiday, despite the light. And in case you feel like staying up all night, watching the sun (which you probably will), you are absolutely free to do that.

…and when the sun

does not rise

We believe the Lappish magic is the strongest during the mid-winter, the Twilight season (Kaamos). The sun hardly rises up to horizon. Lots of candles are lid. The blue moment captures the world for a moment. It is perfect time to listen to your inner self. Here at Arctic Sky Resort you may strengthen your piece of mind with joint meditations and other exercises. You can have atmospheric walks in nature. You can indulge yourself with herbal and sauna baths, lovely activities, and amazingly pure and tasty Arctic food. And of course look for the Northern Lights, and gaze the stars.

Welcome to experience

8 SEASONS

Yes, we actually have eight seasons here in Lapland.

Old Sami people decided a long time ago they will not settle with four seasons, since the nature above the Arctic Circle changes its character dramatically eight times a year. 

THE FROSTY WINTER 16Jan-28FEB

The nature sleeps peacefully. The darkness lasting about a month and a half is shattered by amazing Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). The lightest period of the day, the blue moment, lasts about 4 hours. The weather can be extremely cold, -30 degrees Celsius (- 22 F), or even less. The amount of light slowly increases.

THE Crusty Snow 1MAR-14APR & THE Departure of Ice 15APR-15MAY

The spring! The light! We enjoy skiing, fishing and walking on the icy lake. We are able to see the sun after long, long time. The nature is still covered with snow. The days are getting longer. Sometimes the combination of sunlight and frost makes the snow hard enough to walk on. The snow usually starts to melt by May. The nature is slowly waking up. The wild animals are moving around, searching for a mating partner. You can see a lots of migratory birds in the sky, returning to their Lapland home for the summer.

THE Midnight Sun 16MAY-15JUL

The summer is here! Wonderful time to enjoy the Lappish nature. Above the Arctic Circle the summer is short, but the summer day is long. At Arctic Sky Resort the sun does not go below the horizon from mid-May till the end of July. You can watch the sun all night long. The sun gives energy and growth power - for the plants, for the animals and for the people. It`s been said that one actually needs less sleep during the summer.

THE Harvest Season 16JUL-9SEP

As the summer turns to autumn the days are often very warm, but it gets dark in the evenings, and the night temperatures can be very low. The decreasing amount of light is telling animals and plants to prepare themselves for the winter. You can enjoy fresh delicacies from nature, berries and mushrooms for instance. The first ripe berries would be the cloudberries, coloring the swamps with their orange, usually sometimes between July and August. After that you are able to pick the blueberries, the black crowberries, the Northern bilberries, the lingonberries, and finally, the cranberries, ripen by the frost.

THE Colorful Autumn 10SEP-14OCT

The first frosty night ends the summer season. The incredible play of colors begins. The nature of Lapland is slowly turning from green to different shades of yellow and red. Day by day the evenings are getting darker. The first snow hits the ground and melts away. The wild animals and birds get their furry winter coats. Outdoor activities are in huge favor.

THE First Snow 15OCT-15NOV

The weather gets colder and colder. The snow finally comes to stay. The lakes are slowly frozen and the birds are leaving for their winter destinations. The dark period begins in November as the sun goes below the horizon for months. The sky is unbelievably beautiful throughout the day, with different shades of blue, pink, orange and red. Later in the evening you can watch the Auroras dancing in the night sky. The beaming moonlight on the snow is really something extraordinary for you to see. 

THE Christmas Season 16NOV-15JAN

The first skiing tracks are being opened in our area in the beginning of December. The polar night, the darkness, is here. We love to get cozy by the fire and light the candles. We love to get some nature`s delicacies from our freezer and prepare ourselves a tasty Arctic meal. It is time to rest and relax. Like an Arctic bear in his nest.
