The midnight sun
On the Arctic Circle the sun shines through the night from June to mid-July. Hike, fish or sit by a campfire at midnight — darkness simply never comes.

A cool summer on the Arctic Circle
While southern Europe swelters, a Lapland summer day is mild and the nights are fresh. A coolcation is a holiday where you never look for shade — and the sun follows you through the night.
Lapland's summer is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Temperatures usually stay at a comfortable 15–20 °C, and the low northern sun keeps the UV index so gentle for most of the day that you rarely need sunscreen — just mind the midday hours. Best of all: above the Arctic Circle the sun barely sets at all in June.
For hikers, the nightless night means a freedom the south has never known. You can hit the trail at eight in the evening without ever counting the hours to darkness — the light lasts until morning. And when the day is done, the sauna and hot tub are waiting.
Europe's last wilderness
Lapland is among the most sparsely populated corners of Europe. Trails, fells, mires and silence for weeks — you will often see more reindeer than people in a day.
Nature that is safe
Finnish nature has no animals dangerous to humans and no poisonous plants you would need to worry about. Hiking here is carefree, even for the youngest in the family.
Everyman's rights
In Finland everyone may roam the countryside, camp temporarily and enjoy the outdoors freely — even on private land, as long as yards and fields are respected.
Berry heaven
Bilberries, lingonberries and cloudberries ripen from midsummer to autumn. Berries and mushrooms may be picked freely almost everywhere — only private yards are off limits.
Cool nights, deep sleep
Fresh night air and the natural cool of a log cabin make sleeping easy even at midsummer — no air conditioning needed.
Nearby
The Räisälä Riviera
When a properly warm summer day does arrive, a long natural sandy beach — playfully named the Räisälä Riviera by the locals — is waiting nearby.
Lined with pines and sloping gently into shallow, sun-warmed water, it is made for a lazy beach day: pack a picnic, dig your toes into the sand and enjoy the northern summer at its best.
Coolcation
National parks within an hour
Foxhill Cabin sits about an hour's drive from several national parks — pick a day trip to match your mood and be back for the evening sauna.
