For many people worldwide, Lapland is the place of origin of Santa Claus. However, it is also a leading year-round destination in Finland, particularly for outdoor recreation. It snows in the region for almost half the year, so winter sports are prevalent and you can try all of them, such as skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, and more. Of course, the Northern Lights are another reason why people visit. Another spectacular natural phenomenon is polar nights, which occur during Christmastime when the sun does not rise, but pastel-colored lights paint the sky. Exploring the region can be exhausting, and soaking in a hot tub is one of the best ways to cap any day off. Check out the best cabins with hot tub in Lapland, Finland below.
