In Lapland, timing has a huge impact on price. The difference between peak weeks and quieter periods can be up to 50%, while the core experiences—snow, Arctic nature and northern lights opportunities— are still be excellent. We want to help you find the hidden gems with this guide!

Lapland travel is highly seasonal. Prices rise sharply during weeks with:

  • Christmas & New Year travel demand
  • School holidays (especially February)
  • Limited availability
Outside these weeks, you often enjoy:
  • More personal service
  • Greater flexibility in scheduling activities
  • A calmer atmosphere
  • Better overall package value
The Arctic magic remains exactly the same.

While exact pricing depends on the year and availability, these periods typically offer the best value:
  • Mid November - Early December (winter is starting, quieter weeks)
  • Mid–late January (great value, often excellent darkness and limited tourists)
  • Late March - mid April (longer daylight + winter scenery)
  • September–October (autumn colors + early auroras)

It is not about cutting corners.
It means receiving the same quality accommodation and activities, at a time when demand pressure is lower.

This typically means:

  • Boutique accommodation in peaceful surroundings
  • Access to core winter experiences
  • Strong northern lights potential
  • Balanced daily rhythm

You gain more space — and often a more relaxed pace.

Compared to larger destinations, Pyhä’s natural strengths amplify during quieter weeks:

  • Naturally dark surroundings
  • Easy access to wilderness
  • Short transfers between accommodation and activities
  • No urban congestion
This makes quieter periods feel even more exclusive — without peak-season intensity.
