More information

August brings long sunny days and pleasantly warm temperatures, a welcome contrast to the heat so common elsewhere in the world. Autumn follows with vibrant foliage and crisp air, ideal for hiking. November, meanwhile, marks the beginning of early winter, when Apukka uses stored snow and snow cannons to ensure guests can enjoy a wealth of snowy activities.

From magical December and the festive Christmas season, the landscape transitions into deep winter, when trees wear thick coats of snow, and pastel hues bathe the horizon. Between autumn and early April, the Northern Lights usually appear on more than 100 nights each year!

Oh, and be sure to take part in the resort’s guided activities. Ever dreamed of mushing your own team of huskies or gliding through snowy forests on a snowmobile? How about feeding reindeer or trying your hand at ice fishing? And don’t miss the traditional sauna experiences—the nearby lake offers the chance to cool off with a plunge into its chilly waters!

In short, a stay at Apukka Resort is more than a holiday—it’s a memory that will stay with you for a lifetime.
