SUMMER & FALL IN LAPLAND 2018 - Explore the North ACCOMMODATION & ACTIVITIES
Summer Activities
There is plenty to see and do at Explore the North. Summer in Lapland is very
special because of the midnight sun with 24 hours of daylight. These long
days give you the opportunity to make the most out of your holiday!

Away from the cities you can experience unspoiled
nature! Hiking, rowing, swimming, and the opportuni-
ty to experience nature. Whatever you choose, you will
be constantly aware of the clean air and the silence.
And with a bit of luck you might meet rare birds, rein-
deer, moose, beavers or other wildlife.

How to fill in your days:

Hiking
There are some great, well-marked hiking trails from
the lodge and many more possibilities to just stroll
through the forests on your own. There are also beauti-
ful nature reserves in the area that you can visit, we
are happy to advise you where to go!

Fishing
There are plenty of fish in the lakes around the lodge:
arctic char, brown trout, rainbow trout and perch.        Picking berries
In the river you find, among others; Baltic salmon,       Depending on the time of the year there are many blue-
grayling and brown trout. Fishing rods can be hired       berries, cloudberries or lingonberries to be picked.
