Depending on your previous experience of the Arctic region in Lapland, if you do have been there previously and if are well prepared for the extreme cold temperatures, then that won’t limit the availability of a suitable destination.  The upside of the services provided by the Safari companies is that they provide the services, the cold weather gear, gloves, boots, and overalls as part of the excursion, once you have registered for a particular safari or an outing.  They have the cold weather experience and know how to provide suitable cold weather gear to a specific purpose.  It is not 100% fail proof. you still need to have your wits and make sure that the all the sizes of clothing and boots are correct. And make sure none of the hired clothing or boots are not wet from previous safari use. This precaution is vitally important when traveling with a family of children, adult supervision is essential.

There is always life in the nature to see and things to do in Lapland, for most visitors the Arctic region is very different to what many are familiar with.  The fauna and flora of Lapland, the  four season climate impact on the environment, does go through many rapid changes in a relatively short time. Whether it is the splash of bright colors flora during the autumn season, or the bird migration from the south during the spring season, the rain, streams and whitewater rivers, berries, and mushrooms in the summer season. They all give out a unique natural life environment experience, a difference and contrast to that which follows.  Winter is white snow fall and cold frost covered season, with only a 5-hour low blue haze light during the day (9:30-14_30). But the winter season is visually surreal and the most favored by many during the Christmas season.  The Nordic winter is from November to March. The snow cover in Lapland is normally from November to June, some variation from year to year.
