 | COVID-19 ma `lumot: 2021 yil mart oyidan boshlab Finlyandiyaning Laplandiyasi noma'lum ravishda COVID-19 tezlashish bosqichida. Biroq, tasdiqlangan yuqumli kasalliklarning aksariyati turizm bilan bog'liq yoki Laplandiya kasalxonasi tashqarisidan kelib chiqqan va boshqa joylarda bu kabi holatlar juda kam. Shuning uchun barcha sayyohlar o'z guruhlarida qolishlariga umid qilishadi va boshqa odamlar bilan keraksiz aloqalardan qoching. Viloyat ichidagi ko'pgina cheklovlar 29 martda bekor qilindi, masalan. yana ochiladigan restoranlar. Ushbu yengillik munitsipalitetga taalluqli emas Kittilä. Chegaralar ko'p trafik uchun yopiq va Finlyandiyaga kirish uchun zarur shartlar (muhimlik / buzish / ish, o'z-o'zini karantin qilish va yaqinda o'tkazilgan test natijalari asosida) amal qiladi. Laplandiyadagi chegara punktlari orqali Finlyandiyaga kiradigan barcha yo'lovchilar majburiy tibbiy ko'rikdan o'tkaziladi. Bu 2008 yilda yoki undan keyingi yillarda tug'ilgan bolalarga, shuningdek, kiruvchi professional yuk tashishlariga taalluqli emas. Majburiy tekshiruvlar 30 aprelga qadar davom etadi. 2021 yil mart oyining o'rtalaridan boshlab VR temir yo'l kompaniyasi barcha yo'lovchilaridan niqob kiyishni talab qilmoqda. Barcha munitsipalitetlar tezkor COVID-19 testini 15 daqiqada o'tkazish imkoniyatiga ega, faqat PCR mavjud bo'lgan va shuning uchun foydalaniladigan Rovaniemi bundan mustasno (natijalar taxminan 24 soat). Barcha ommaviy test saytlarida COVID-19 testlari bepul bo'lib, tashrif buyuruvchilar uchun ulardan foydalanish tavsiya etiladi.

Finlyandiya Laplandiyasi (Fin va Sami: Lappi, Shvedcha: Lapplend) bo'ladi Arktika uzoq shimolda Finlyandiya, xuddi shu nomdagi viloyat sifatida qat'iy belgilangan, ammo amalda Arktika doirasi yaqinidan boshlanadi. Finlyandiya chang'i kurortlarining aksariyati, shuningdek, eng katta milliy bog'lar. Ko'plab sahrolar, ularning aksariyati tajribali sayyoh bo'lmaganlar uchun ham juda qulaydir.
Qish o'rtalarida harorat -50 ° C (-60 ° F) gacha tushishi mumkin va qutb tunida kunlar davomida quyosh ko'rinmaydi (kaamos). Aksincha, yoz faslini keltirib chiqaradi Yarim tunda quyosh va harorat vaqti-vaqti bilan 30 ° S ga ko'tarilishi mumkin. Ommabop fasllarga Pasxa atrofidagi vaqt kiradi, muzlagan tunlar kuchli quyosh nuriga qaramay chang'i sharoitlarini yaxshi saqlaydi va kuzning boshlarida, barglar qizarib va sarg'ayganida va chivinlar yo'q bo'lganda.
Mintaqalar
Finlyandiyaning deyarli uchdan bir qismidan iborat Laplandiyaning turli qismlari biroz boshqacha xarakterga ega. Ushbu yo'nalish quyidagi yo'nalishlar bo'limida ham qo'llaniladi.
- Janubi-sharqiy Laplandiya - Arktika doirasidagi Rovaniemi, asosiy transport markazi va ko'pchilik Santa Klausni kutib olishga boradigan joy. O'rmonlar va ko'llar bilan mintaqa landshaft nuqtai nazaridan Laplandiya va ichki Finlyandiya o'rtasidagi chegara mintaqasidir, ammo landshaftda ba'zi tog'lar, tepaliklar va chang'i kurortlari mavjud.
- Dengiz Laplandiyasi va Torne daryosi vodiysi - Shimoliy qutb doirasidan asosan janubda, uning katta qismi bug 'boqish hududiga tegishli emas, bu Laplandiyaning suv bilan (Botnian ko'rfazi va Torne daryosi) va g'arbda Shvetsiyaga ega bo'lgan ancha tekis qismidir.
- Shimoliy-sharqiy Laplandiya - Finlyandiyaning eng shimoliy qismi va Evropa Ittifoqining xususiyatlari Sami madaniyati va ko'plab odamlarning Laplandiya haqidagi tasavvurlariga xos landshaftlar. Mintaqaning katta qismi milliy bog'lar va cho'l zonalari bilan qoplangan va bu erda an'anaviy Sami dinining muqaddas joylari va 3000 km dan ortiq qirg'oqlari bilan Inari ko'lini topishingiz mumkin.
- Shimoliy-G'arbiy Laplandiya - muqobil ism sifatida Laplandiyaga tushdi landshaftning aksariyat qismida, ayniqsa Finlyandiyaning eng baland tog'lari joylashgan "qo'l" da qulashlar ustunlik qiladi. Shimoliy-sharq kabi, uning katta qismi Sami mahalliy mintaqasiga tegishli va ko'plab qo'riqlanadigan hududlar mavjud. Siz mamlakatning janubida joylashganiga o'xshamaydigan, bepoyon manzaralarni uchratishingiz mumkin. Garchi mintaqaning katta qismi mag'lubiyatga uchragan bo'lsa-da, mavsumda siz ba'zi sahro yo'llarida sayohat qilasiz va mamlakatda eng mashhur ikkita chang'i kurorti bu erda.
Shaharlar
Laplandiya yigirma munitsipalitetga bo'linadi, ulardan to'rttasi (Tornio, Kemi, Rovaniemi va Kemijärvi) shahar sifatida belgilanadi. Boshqa ba'zi "shaharlarda" atigi bir necha yuz nafar aholi istiqomat qiladi, ammo bu erda biz boramiz.

Tushuning
Lapland - Finlyandiyaning yovvoyi shimolidir. Shaharlardan tashqarida cho'l - yarim yovvoyi kiyik bilan - hamma joyda. Hatto yo'llar bo'ylab qishloqlar orasidagi masofa uzoq va xaritadagi qishloqlarda faqat bir nechta oilalar yashashi mumkin, ba'zilari hatto yil davomida odamlar yashamaydi.
Eng shimoliy munitsipalitetlar Finlyandiyaning uyidir Sami asrlar davomida tirikchiligini ushbu bepusht mintaqadan, asosan baliq ovlash, ovchilik va bug 'parvarishidan olgan odamlar. Bu erda ular juda ozchilik, hatto ko'pchilikdir. Ko'pgina sayyohlik korxonalari, ayniqsa Somiga tegishli bo'lmaganlar - Rovaniemidan boshlab, Sami madaniyatiga asoslanib, sizga "asl" marosimlarni taklif qilishadi va hokazolarni taklif qilishadi va hokazo. Uni qanday bo'lsa, shunday qabul qiling va shunchaki zavqlaning - yoki bunday dasturlardan qoching. Haqiqiy Sami madaniyati jamoat markazlarida, madaniy tadbirlarda va Sami sayyohlik korxonalari xizmatlaridan foydalanishda yaxshiroq tajribaga ega (ular ko'pincha o'zlarining etnik xususiyatlari haqida hech qanday tasavvurga ega emaslar). Janubiy Laplandiyada asl Sami aholisi Finlyandiya bilan birlashdi va g'oyib bo'ldi, ammo shimoldan ko'pchilik Rovaniemida (shuningdek, janubiy shaharlarda) o'qishadi yoki ishlaydi.
Ko'rish uchun juda ko'p tarix yo'q, chunki Ikkinchi Jahon urushi oxirida chekinayotgan nemis qo'shinlari Sovet ittifoqi bilan tinchlikka rozi bo'lganlari uchun Finlyandiya ittifoqchilarini jazolash uchun er yuzidagi siyosatni amalga oshirdilar va ularning yo'llarida hamma narsani yo'q qildilar. Ular qurib bitkazilgunga qadar 100 ming kishi qochib ketdi, 675 ko'prik portlatildi, barcha yirik yo'llar minalashtirildi va poytaxt Rovaniemida faqat 13 ta uy qoldi.
Ammo keyinchalik odamlar Laplandiyaga me'morchilik uchun emas, tabiat uchun kelishadi. Bu erda hech qanday tog'li tog'lar yoki fyordlar yo'q bo'lsa-da, cheksiz qarag'ay o'rmonlari va bepoyon yumaloq qulashlar (tunturi) ularning orasidan chiqib ketish ham hayratlanarli darajada chiroyli bo'lishi mumkin. Finlar "Laplandiya isitmasi" haqida gapirishadi, chunki bu erdan yuragini judo qilganlar ko'p.
Qachon borish kerak
Laplandiyadagi Rojdestvo jozibali tuyuladi, ammo bu Arktika kechasi vaqti; qorong'i va u juda sovuq bo'lishi mumkin (-30 ° C / -25 ° F tez-tez uchraydi). Rovaniemida va boshqa ba'zi yo'nalishlarda Joulupukki (Santa Klaus) bilan uchrashuvlarni tashkil etishdan xursand bo'lgan korxonalar bor, va qor yog'adigan yoki husky safarlar, shu sababli nur ustiga bir oz omad tilaymiz aurora borealis, hamma joyda. Bunday uyushtirilgan sayohatlar xavfsiz, ammo mustaqil mamlakat sarguzashtlari etarli mahorat va tajribani talab qiladi.
Fevral oyining oxiriga kelib ham ob-havo, ham yorug'lik yaxshilanadi, haroratning eng yaxshi tomonida -10 ° C (15 ° F) va kuniga qariyb 12 soatlik yorug'lik bo'ladi, garchi quyosh past bo'lsa ham, doimo qorong'i tushayotganday tuyuladi . Ko'pgina finlar faqat Pasxada yig'ilishni boshlaydilar, chunki ko'pincha yorqin quyoshda changalni faqat futbolka kiyib yurish mumkin bo'ladi. To'plangan qorning (ko'pincha bir metrdan ko'proq) erishi uchun ancha vaqt talab etiladi va may oyining oxirlarida tosh bilan o'tish mumkin.
Bahorning oxiri va yozning boshlarida qor erishi bilan landshaft loyga aylanib, lappishlarning la'natiga sabab bo'ladi chivin va uning do'stlari (umumiy sifatida tanilgan rakka), agar siz bu juda ahamiyatsiz bezovtalikka o'xshaydi deb hisoblasangiz, siz hech qachon Laplandiyada yashovchi qo'shinlar bilan yuzma-yuz turishingizga to'g'ri kelmagan - sanoat quvvatiga ega hasharotlarga qarshi vositasiz chiqmang. Chivinlar shaharlarning markazlarida juda kam uchraydi (va asosan daraxtlar chizig'idan yuqorida, ayniqsa quyoshli ob-havo sharoitida, ba'zi shamollarda), ammo tishlashdan saqlanish deyarli mumkin emas. Chivinlarning chaqishi qichiydi va shovqini bezovta qiladi, ammo ular hech qanday kasallik yuqtirmaydi. May oyining oxiri va yoz oylari oralig'ida bahorgi toshqinlar bilan suv sathini boshqarish mumkin bo'lgan va chivinlar hali ham kam bo'lgan rakka mavsumi o'rtasida bir-ikki hafta bor. Cho'lga boradigan bo'lsangiz, mahalliy sharoitlar to'g'risida maslahat oling, chunki marshrutlar va poyafzallarni ehtiyotkorlik bilan tanlash kerak bo'lishi mumkin. Bahorgi toshqin paytida sahroda sayr qilish faqat chinakam tayyorlanganlar uchun mo'ljallangan, chunki har bir soy va vodiy muzli suv daryosiga aylanib qolgan bo'lishi mumkin, qisman hanuzgacha qor bilan qoplangan.
Yozgi harorat odatda 10-20 ° C (50-70 ° F) oralig'ida bo'ladi, ammo kechasi yoki 30 ° C kun muzlashi mumkin. Iyul eng issiq oy.
Tepada, mashhur yarim tunda quyosh Laplandiyada deyarli hamma joyda ko'rinadi. Kechaning tenglashishi va yarim tunda quyoshni nishonlash uchun maxsus tadbirlar o'tkaziladi. Rovaniemida Yoz faslida umuman quyosh botmaydi, chunki bu davr shimolga (Utsjokida iyun oyining boshidan iyul oyining oxirigacha) borgan sari uzoqroq o'sib boradi. Ba'zi xorijliklar ushbu tungi vaqtlarda uxlashda qiynalishadi, ammo oddiy uyqu maskasi uzoq yo'lni bosib o'tishi kerak.
Iyul oyi oxiriga kelib chivinlar yo'q bo'lib keta boshlaydi va odatda avgust oyining oxirlarida yo'q bo'lib ketadi. O'rtasida piyoda yurish ruska, kuzning rang-barang vaqti, bu foydali tajriba.
Gapir
Mahalliy til asosan Finlyandiya. Gapiradigan shevalar Finlyandiyaning g'arbiy lahjalarining Peräpohjola (uzoq-shimoliy) kichik guruhiga kiradi va h-tovushining xarakterli ishlatilishi bilan yakunlanadigan ma'lum arxaik xususiyatlarga ega. Bunga asoslanib siz (juda oson) hazilga duch kelishingiz mumkin. Torne daryosi vodiysining o'ziga xos xususiyati sifatida tanilgan meankieli (lit. Our Language) va siyosiy sabablarga ko'ra Shvetsiyada rasmiy ozchiliklar tili maqomiga ega.
Uch Sami tillari - Shimoliy Sami, Inari Samiva Skolt Sami - eng shimoliy hududlarda kamdan-kam gaplashadi. Sami tillari ushbu mintaqada rasmiy maqomga ega Sami vatani va shuningdek, maktab ta'limida qo'llaniladi. Bu sohada shved (rasmiy bo'lsa-da) kamdan-kam gaplashadi (chunki Shvetsiyaning qo'shni hududlari an'anaviy ravishda fin tilida gaplashib kelgan), ammo ular bilan chambarchas bog'liq Norvegiya tez-tez chegara hududida eshitiladi, jonli xarid qilish norvegiyaliklar tufayli.
Finlyandiyaning hamma joylarida bo'lgani kabi, siz ham ingliz tilida omon qolasiz va bu fin tilini bilmaydiganlar uchun asosiy imkoniyatdir. Mehmonxonalarda va sayyohlik joylarida nemis tili va xitoy yoki yapon tillarigacha ma'lum bo'lishi mumkin. Keng xalqaro turizm tufayli turistik materiallar odatda turli xil tillarda mavjud!
Chiqinglar
Samolyotda
Uchish Laplandiyaning katta qismiga etib borishning eng amaliy va eng tezkor vositasidir, ammo aksariyat yo'nalishlarda xizmatlar juda kam va narxlar tez-tez ko'tarilib turadi. Tijorat aeroportlari mavjud Xetta ("Enontekiyo"), Ivalo, Kemi, Kittilä va Rovaniemi. Aviakompaniyalar uchun eng yaxshi variant - Finnair va Norvegiya. Air Baltic Rovaniemi va Kittilä shaharlaridan uchadi Riga. Murabbiylar asosan aeroportlar orqali harakatlanishadi. Oddiy reyslardan tashqari, asosan Xelsinkidan, mavsumiy reyslar va chet eldan charter reyslari mavjud.
Poyezdda
Laplandiyaning aksariyat qismiga faqat avtobusda yoki avtoulovda borish mumkin, ammo boradigan joyingizga poezd qatnovi bo'lmagan taqdirda ham, birinchi oyoq poyezdidan foydalanish ko'pincha mantiqan to'g'ri keladi. Ba'zi yo'nalishlar uchun siz birlashgan poezd / murabbiy-chiptani sotib olishingiz mumkin, aks holda transfer odatda yumshoq bo'ladi.
Poezdlar sizni shaharlarga, xususan viloyat markaziga olib boradi Rovaniemi Shimoliy qutb aylanasida yoki eng shimoliy temir yo'l stantsiyasida Kolari. Kecha davomida janubdan kelgan poezdlar shpallar va ba'zilari esa mashinalarni olib ketishadi. Ikki xil shpalli poezdlar mavjud (ikki qavatli karavotli): eski "ko'k" poyezdlar, asosan avj mavsumida qo'shimcha sifatida ishlatiladi va zamonaviy ikki qavatli. Eskilarida 3 kishilik kabinalar (1-3 yo'lovchiga mo'ljallangan) va dush mavjud emas, yangilarida 2 kishilik kabinalar mavjud bo'lib, ularning ba'zilari bir oila uchun birlashtirilishi mumkin va umumiy yoki hammom dushlari mavjud. Har bir zamonaviy uxlab yotgan mashinada nogironlar aravachasi va unga hamroh bo'lgan odam uchun, uy hayvonlari bilan sayohat qiluvchilar uchun kabin mavjud.
Avtomobillarni Turku, Xelsinki / Pasila va Tampere shaharlarida yuklash va Oulu, Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi va Kolari shaharlarida tushirish mumkin - ammo uchish va kelish stantsiyalarining hammasi ham mumkin emas, va barcha poezdlar vagonlarda ketmaydi. Shuningdek, avtomobil o'lchamiga cheklovlar mavjud.
Agar kirsangiz Shvetsiya, chegara oldida yo'lovchi poezdlari tarmog'ida bo'shliq mavjud Haparanda/Tornio, lekin birlashtiruvchi avtobus Lulea bilan bepul Inter Rail va Scanrail. Operator poezdlar qatnovini Haparandaga etkazishni rejalashtirmoqda (2021 yil holatiga ko'ra).
Kimdan Rossiya siz borishingiz mumkin Murmansk va avtobusda davom eting Ivalo yoki tushish Kandalaksha va Rovaniemiga avtobusda boring.
Avtobusda
Murabbiyning aloqalari mavjud Xelsinki eng ulanish markazi bo'lgan Rovaniemiga (15 soat). Shimoliy Norvegiya (Troms va Finnmark) hech bo'lmaganda yozda kunlik aloqalarga ega. Shvetsiyadan, ehtimol siz orqali kelasiz Haparanda/Tornio. Kimdan Rossiya, dan avtobus aloqalari mavjud Murmansk Ivaloga uch marta va undan Kandalaksha Rovaniemiga haftasiga ikki marta (tekshiring!).
Matkahuolto ko'pgina ulanishlar uchun jadvallar mavjud, ammo siz turli xil joy nomlari bilan sinab ko'rishingizga to'g'ri keladi.
Mashinada
Laplandiyaga yaxshi yo'llar bor, lekin haydashda bir kun foydalanish o'rniga, siz mashinangizni bir kechada poyezdga mindirib, ertalab yangi uyg'onib, faqat qolgan masofani bosib o'tib, landshaftdan zavqlanishni xohlashingiz mumkin - bu albatta uzoq bo'lishi mumkin yetarli. Ammo siz Finlyandiyaning uzunligini ko'rish uchun bir necha kundan foydalanishni xohlashingiz mumkin E75 (milliy yo'l 4), yoki g'arbiy sohil E8 (milliy yo'l 8).
Agar siz Finlyandiyaning janubidan haydasangiz, ushbu yo'nalishlarni tavsiya qilish mumkin:
- Kemi, Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi, Sodankyla, Ivalo, Inari, Utjokiga: E75 yoki E8 Kemiga, keyin E75
- Kolari, Muonio, Kilpisjarviga: K75 ga E75 / E8, keyin Tornio orqali E8
- Kittilya, Leviga: E75, 79, Rovaniemi orqali
Agar siz Shvetsiya orqali harakatlansangiz, ushbu yo'nalishlarni tavsiya qilish mumkin:
- Tornioga, Kemi: E4, Torniodan Kemigacha E8 bo'ylab
- Rovaniemi, Kemijärvi, Sodankylä, Ivalo: E4 dan Xaparandaga, E8 bo'ylab janubga qisqa oyoq, keyin E75
- Kolari, Kittilä, Leviga: E10, Pajala orqali 392, 403 va boshqalar
- Inari, Utsjoki yoki Kirkenesga (Norvegiya): E4, E8, keyin E75 orqali Ivalo orqali
- Shu bilan bir qatorda Kolari orqali va 955-chi marshrutdan, ya'ni 70 km qisqaroq va biroz tezroq, lekin yo'l unchalik sifatli emas, ko'proq avantyurali.
Atrofga boring
Finlyandiya Laplandiyasidagi masofalar juda yaxshi va poezd qatnovi faqat Kemijärvi (shimoliy-sharqdan biroz shimoliy-sharqqa) qadar davom etadi Rovaniemi) va Kolari, shuning uchun mustaqil sayohatchilar sayohat qilish uchun biroz arzonroq, ammo kam uchraydigan avtobuslarga ishonishlari kerak bo'ladi. Avtostop ham mumkin, lekin faqat qisqa yozgi mavsum davomida tavsiya qilinishi mumkin; hatto asosiy yo'llarda ham transport kam. Boshqa tomondan, avtoulov o'tib ketgandan keyin ko'tarilishga o'xshashlik juda yuqori.
Avtobusda
Uzoq masofali vagonlar yoki mikroavtobuslar eng kichik joylarni ham qamrab oladi, ko'pincha siyrak jadvallar bilan (odatda asosiy yo'llar bo'ylab kuniga bir yoki bir nechta xizmatlar). Ular eng arzon va eng sekin transport vositasidir. Garchi avtobus bekatlari mavjud bo'lsa-da, ularni yolg'iz qishloq yo'lida sayyoh sifatida uchratganingizda, ularni qo'l belgisi bilan to'xtatish mumkin. Ekspres murabbiylar odatda Rovaniemining shimolida oddiy murabbiylarga aylanishadi. Matkahuolto ularning aksariyati uchun jadvallar mavjud. Ba'zi yo'nalishlar uchun siz maktab avtobuslari, pochta tashuvchilari yoki marshrut taksilarini qidirishingiz kerak.

Mashinada
Siz Laplandiyaning aksariyat joylariga mashinada borishingiz mumkin (ha, hali ham yo'l aloqasi bo'lmagan qishloqlar bor!), Lekin hatto asosiy yo'llarda ham transport juda kam va masofalar juda yaxshi. Kichik yo'llar ba'zan haqiqatan ham mayda, hatto eng uzun yo'llardir. Arktika sharoitida haydash mumkin qishda xavfli. Kichik yo'llar uchun sharoitlar haqida so'rang, chunki qishdagi parvarishlash siz kutgandek bo'lmasligi mumkin. Qishki shinalar (M S; rasmiy talab etarlicha yurish chuqurligi) 1-dekabrdan fevral oyining oxirigacha majburiydir va tirnoqli shinalar Pasxadan bir hafta o'tgach ruxsat etiladi - agar kerak bo'lsa, ularni ushlab turish xato. Nordic qishki shinalarini ishlating, ular past haroratlarda ham yumshoq. Eng xavfli ob-havo - bu harorat muzlash atrofida, silliq, ammo ko'rinmas holat qora muz yo'llarda hosil bo'ladi yoki muzli sirt nam bo'ladi. Muammoni tushunishdan oldin tashqariga chiqmang va derazalar qor va namlikdan tozalanganligiga ishonch hosil qiling.
Ayniqsa, tong va shom paytida yovvoyi hayvonlar uchun juda hushyor bo'ling. Kiyik baxtsiz hodisalarning keng tarqalgan sababi, to'qnashuvlar esa ancha katta buloq kamdan-kam uchraydi, lekin ko'pincha o'limga olib keladi. Agar siz hayvonni urgan bo'lsangiz, har doim mahalliy aholiga (yoki 112 ga) xabar berishingiz kerak, garchi hayvon zarar ko'rmagan bo'lsa ham, ular o'z navbatida kiyik egasiga yoki mahalliy ovchilarga xabar berishadi. Topilishi uchun joyni belgilang. Agar mast yoki tezlikni oshirmagan bo'lsangiz, sizga hech narsa undirilmaydi.

Odatda, to'satdan va yolg'iz yugurib yuradigan bug'doydan farqli o'laroq, kiyikni guruhlar ichida osoyishta osib qo'yish va to'qnashuvlarni oldini olish oson, agar birinchi kiyik paydo bo'lganda darhol sekinlashsa (ehtiyotkorlik bilan haydang, chunki ular to'satdan oldinga to'planib qolishlari mumkin) sizning mashinangiz).

Shimoliy chiroqlar

Qo'rqinchli shimoliy chiroqlarni aniqlash (aurora borealis, Fincha: revontulet) qish osmonida porlash ko'plab mehmonlarning kun tartibida. Shimoliy Laplandiya - bu aurorani kuzatish uchun eng yaxshi joylardan biri, chunki u yaxshi kirish imkoniyatiga ega, yuqori sifatli turar joy va nisbatan toza osmon bilan deyarli kontinental iqlimga ega. Ba'zi shimoliy chiroqlarning paydo bo'lishi ehtimoli har kuni kechasi osmon osmoni bilan 50-70% ni tashkil qiladi (ko'pincha 22:00 dan yarim tungacha) va yorug'lik ifloslanishining oldini olish juda oson - ammo bulutli davrlar bor, shuning uchun ularni ko'rishga umid qilmang.
Shuningdek, ehtimol janubiy Laplandiyada, ehtimolligi taxminan 20% ni tashkil etadigan bo'lsa, har kuni kechasi ochiq osmon bilan yorug'lik ifloslanishidan tashqarida sayr qilishni xohlashingiz mumkin.

A week of backcountry skiing will offer even better opportunities unless you spend the best hours in your tent or a hut. A hotel in Kakslauttanen has glass-domed igloo rooms where you can watch northern lights indoors the whole night.
Reindeer and snowmobiles
Most of Lapland belongs to the reindeer husbandry area, and nearly all wilderness is in use as reindeer pasture (mostly forested areas in winter and treeless areas in summer). On a week-long hike you are nearly guaranteed to see them in the wild, but at most locations there will also be at least some tourist business having a few tame ones to show, or even to offer rides with (usually by sled). If you make friends with locals you might have a chance to see the round-ups.
Other standard tourist programmes include snowmobile "safaris", i.e. tours, where you usually are allowed to drive your own vehicle (children are probably put in a sled behind your guide), and husky safaris, where you get to try being pulled by dogs. Snowmobiles are probably available for hire if you want to make longer tours on your own.
The tours with dogs, reindeer and snowmobiles can be combined with fishing (ice-fishing in the winter), admiring northern lights or the midnight sun, story-telling and roasting salmon by a campfire, sauna, overnight stay in a goahti and the like. What is available depends on who happens to have a business in the neighbourhood, check what is offered at the business where you intend to be lodging, at least if you do not stay at the bigger resorts. You might want to stay with a family business with the right spirit, especially if you have come to enjoy silence.
Skiing and snowshoeing
.jpg/220px-Cross_Country_Skiing_(6827042104).jpg)
The ski resorts do not have the greatest pists, if you compare to the Alps or Norway, but they are good enough for most. On the balance they have lots of accessible wilderness close by, to be experienced by snowmobile or by ski. There are great networks of cross-country skiing tracks around any ski resort, often even a large national park. And tourist businesses eager to offer you other programmes.
For shorter excursions, as along signposted nature trails, you can often use snowshoes. For longer hikes, of more than about a kilometre, skis are much better, easily giving you a jogging speed on any level track. Around the resorts and town centres there are illuminated tracks with space also for "freestyle" skiing". Many businesses offer ten-minutes courses combined with tours in the forest, showing signs of the local wildlife and letting you enjoy the peace and possibly a marvellous view of stars.
For overnight (or multiple-day) hikes on ski you usually want skis that don't let you down even if you leave the tracks. There are ready made tracks for "classic" skiing extending far into the wilderness, but they are not necessarily maintained very soon after snowfall – and you might want to choose routes where no tracks have been made. There are "lean-to shelters" and "wilderness huts", so overnighting in a tent is seldom necessary, but sleeping bags and other adequate equipment may be needed.
Most tourists want a lot of action in a tight package, so that is what most businesses offer (even if peace and silence, in a suitable packing, often is included). If you really want peace and silence, as on a multi-day skiing tour through the wilderness, you should search for such offers in time – there are guides specializing in that, but they may not be available on short notice.
Father Christmas
Activities related to Santa Claus, or Joulupukki as the Finns call him, are arranged at least in Rovaniemi and Luosto, probably in most resorts. His main reception and workshop is in Rovaniemi, for tourists' convenience, but most Finns grew up knowing his home is at the fell Korvatunturi. Usually he arrives by foot, having left his sled somewhere farther away, but he can also turn up by a sled pulled by a horse, and possibly reindeer (the flying ones are disappointingly on vacation by themselves when not doing their yearly main job).
Korvatunturi is secluded, in Urho Kekkonen National Park at the Russian border and thus in the border zone, so visiting the fell requires effort and paperwork. Even if you get the permit, it is rare that Joulupukki lets strangers see him there, and his home is not easy to find. There is a hiking trail to Korvatunturinmurusta (2·20 km, after a long journey along small and even smaller roads), from where you can get a glimpse of the fell, and who knows, he might reward you for the effort by really showing up! At least he will answer mail addressed to Korvatunturi.
Baliq ovlash
Fishing is an important reason for Finns to come to Lapland, and traditionally it was an essential food source up north. Many villages have formed at good fishing sites. There are some great salmon rivers, Teno being the most productive salmon river in all of Europe. Also e.g. trout, greyling and Arctic char are common catches. Catch-and-release fishing is generally not practised.
Angling without reel and without artificial lure, or with a special ice angling rod, is generally included to the right to access – but in any river with salmonoids and in many lakes, there are restrictions in place. According to Finnish law it is always the fisherman's own responsibility to find out whether there are restrictions on the area.
If you come for the fishing, you probably want to have a reel or use one of the restricted locations. You then need a national fishing permit and a day card for the specific area. Most tourist businesses will gladly fix those for you, explain the regulations, and rent you equipment you need. Notice that in Northern Lapland the locals enjoy privileges that visitors will not have.
For rivers flowing to the Atlantic (the Barents and White Sea, including those flowing into Lake Inari), all your equipment must be disinfected (e.g. by thorough drying) in advance. This is to prevent the Gyrodactylus salaris parasite from spreading, as it would be catastrophic in these rivers. Some Atlantic rivers have got it, so infection is necessary unless you know you come from a "clean" one. Disinfection applies also to canoe and boots – and don't let birds carry it over with your gutting waste. The easiest way is to let your host do the disinfection as disinfection services are available somewhat everywhere in the areas where the procedure is mandatory. If you cross the border to Norway the law is tighter; you need to possess a written certificate on disinfection even if you wouldn't go ashore.
Hunting
Hunting is popular sports in Lapland but is usually off-limits for an ordinary visitor. Some tourist businesses take you on tours where you hunt "under the close supervision" of your guide, which means you do not need own licences. If you have qualifications in your home country you may apply corresponding licence from Finnish authorities. Prepare for bureaucracy.
Work
The ski resorts and many other tourist businesses depend on seasonal workers. As a significant part of the clients are from abroad, being a foreigner is not necessarily a drawback in getting jobs, especially if you know the right languages or cultures – as long as you have or can get a work permit, possibly with help from your to be employer. Skiing teachers, restaurant and bar personnel, entertainment, child care, what have you. Some jobs require formal qualifications or advanced skills and experience, while for some the right attitude will get you a long way, much more so than for most jobs in Finland.
Common languages to use with clients include English, Russian, German and French, but also some languages from the Far East, where competition from Finns is very limited. Different resorts to some extent concentrate on different groups; try to find an employer who needs your specialities.
Yemoq
Lapland is the place to sample reindeer (poro) dishes, which are not too common elsewhere in Finland. The traditional way to eat this is as sautéed reindeer aka reindeer hash (poronkäristys), usually eaten with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. Also smoked cold cuts and dried reindeer meat are definitely worth trying. In very rare occasions you could face some really interesting reindeer dishes like kampsut made of blood and flour, or koparakeitto, a traditional reindeer hoof soup.
Other Lapland specialties worth looking for are willow ptarmigan va rock ptarmigan (riekko va kiiruna, respectively) and fish such as arctic char (rautu) or lavaret (siika). The delectable cloudberry (hilla yoki lakka) is one of the most expensive berries in the world. It grows on mires, unripe it is red, ripe it is light orange, containing a lot of vitamin C. In shops you find it most likely as jam (lakkahillo) or syrup. The Crowberry (kaarnikka yoki variksenmarja) is also a delicious specialty that is rarely encountered any place elsewhere, and usually sold as juice (you will found it abundantly in the fells, but it is small with big seeds, so not as tempting to eat directly).
The Norwegian angelica (väinönputki) is a traditional herb highly appreciated by the Sámi. It has found its way to some handicraft delicacies.
Rieska is a barley flatbread traditional to the area. The almond-shaped puikula (often as Lapin puikula) potatoes are also a local specialty, although sold and appreciated around the country.
NB! In the grocery stores it is worth to notice that reindeer meat and cloudberry products are always relatively expensive. Especially when buying cold cuts make sure the package says poro somewhere. Seeing similar looking but much cheaper horsemeat and beef cuts sold right next to the reindeer meat is unfortunately common. Cheap cloudberry jams usually contain orange (appelsiini). Check the small-print mandatory ingredients list, to see not only what the producers want to tell.
Ichish
Most nightlife is concentrated to Kemi va Rovaniemi, and especially at wintertime: to the skiing resorts!
When hiking in wilderness it is quite safe to drink water from rivers even without boiling. Most hikers use water also from small clear streams and lakes untreated, but you might want to boil that for a few minutes.
Uyqu
- Shuningdek qarang: Hiking in the Nordic countries#Sleep
According to the Everyman's Right (jokamiehenoikeus) one can set up a "temporary" camp (at least a night or two) nearly anywhere in the forest or on the fell, no matter who owns the land. However, making a fire is allowed only in extreme occasions or by permission of landowner. For the campfire sites in national parks, and some wilderness and backcountry areas, there is a general permit. If a wildfire warning is in effect making a fire is forbidden, no matter whether or not you have a permission. In protected areas, such as national parks, there are restrictions also on camping.
At many hiking destinations there are Spartan open wilderness huts available for free, or reservation huts with some equipment for a very moderate price (€11–12/person/night, check where to get the key). These have firewood, a wood stove for heat and possibly cooking, sometimes a gas stove and pots for cooking, bunk beds with or without mattresses (reservation respectively open huts), an outhouse toilet (use own toilet paper), and some sort of water resource nearby, but hardly anything else. In the open wilderness huts you may stay a night or two, but if the place gets crowded the ones who have had their rest should leave – the ones who come last have an indisputable right to the facilities. Always leave the hut in better condition than it was when you arrived. In addition to these there are lean-to shelters and "lapp pole tents", which give some protection from the elements, and "day huts", meant for breaks but usable for overnight stay in emergencies.
There are lots of good quality hotels and hostels around Lapland. The scale goes from luxury suites to real snow igloos and pole tents where you can sleep next to an open fire. At least for a longer stay or away from towns you might want to rent a cottage instead. Check the specific location; a search often suggests cottages that actually are a hundred kilometres from the intended destination. During the 2010s glass roofed aurora igloos have become a popular but fairly expensive form of accommodation.
Most accommodations also have programme services (and may market other available programmes as their own).
Xavfsiz bo'ling
Know your limits. The winter environment is perfectly capable of killing the unwary tourist who gets lost in the fells. The rescue service works well – each year several tourists are rescued and only rarely any serious injury is sustained – but taking your chances is not recommended.
Avalanches are possible in winter. Check with the national parks or ski resorts and make sure you know what you are doing or how to avoid affected areas, if venturing out in wilderness or on non-maintained slopes.
If you plan to travel alone or, for example in your own car, remember that distances are great and getting help for any unexpected situation may take time. Plan accordingly; take extra warm clothes in your car and tell the hotel staff where you are heading and when you expect to come back.
Also mind the hunting season: Natives are usually very keen of hunting, and the start of the season draws most hunters into the wilderness. Potential dangers can be countered by wearing a red cap or some other easily identified garment, and staying away from areas where hunting is allowed during the season.
When stopping on the road to enjoy the landscape, don't forget the traffic. Park at a safe spot and keep to the roadside.
Otherwise, there are few serious dangers to your well-being. Tap water and even water of most lakes and creeks is potable (in most places, bottled water contains more harmful compounds than tap water) and foods are almost without exception safe to eat. Crime rates are low and people are helpful and nice in general but noisy foreigners on Friday night in a local pub/discothèque might be sitting ducks for harassment (in extreme cases; violent attacks) by drunken male villagers. This is mostly problem of skiing centres. Probability to get robbed or getting any other harm is still extremely low.
