Lapland Easter
Lapland, the land of the Sami, is an endless sea of snow on the northern edge of Europe. But each Easter the place comes alive in a colourful festival celebrating the proud traditions of these remote people . . .

It is the perfect opportunity to get to know the Sami culture in all its aspects - from its traditional clothing and jewelry, to its theatre, music and poetry. And there are numerous activities you can enjoy like taking a ride in a sleigh pulled by reindeer or husky, browsing around the markets, watching their traditional marriages and baptisms or maybe a concert or a crazy reindeer race.
