A winter that begins with crisp dry cold and ends with the strong rays of the spring sun that awaken nature by shining day and night. In our Arctic paradise you will find endlessly varied activities, winter months that offer the Arctic blue light, crackling northern lights that dance across the sky and towards the end of the winter season even the midnight sun.
