Winter activities at Lake Inari

Inari - Finnish Lapland

Best time for aurora borealis*: October to March
Fresh snowy air, Arctic nature cloaked in its winter garb, and the frozen Lake Inari welcome you upon your arrival in Nellim.
Here, near the Russian border, traditional Sami culture, warm hospitality, and authentic wilderness merge to create a unique travel destination. Choose between charming Aurora chalets, extraordinary accommodations with panoramic glass roofs, or lakeside villas.
The exceptional location of your accommodation makes it the perfect starting point for polar activities and viewing the Northern Lights.
Take a thrilling snowmobile tour through the snow-covered forests, glide through the endless expanse on a dog sled, or hike across frozen lakes on snowshoes.
In the evening, you meet up at the restaurant to eat and socialize with your friends.
Best time for auroras: October to March
*Northern lights are a natural phenomenon! We cannot guarantee sightings.
