In 2025, Finnair is adding flights to Lapland during Easter weeks and Autumn, providing ski season thrills and gorgeous foliage. There will also be more flights for notable summertime events, providing even more opportunities to explore. That provides easier access to the Nordic country’s northernmost region, including subarctic wilderness, ski resorts, and natural phenomenon like the Northern Lights.

In April, as Easter approaches, there will be more flights to Kuusamo and Rovaniem, as the ski season concludes with prime conditions. For fall’s stunning foliage, flights to Kuusamo, Kittilä and Ivalo make it easy to take it all in. Additional summer flights cater to global adventurers, including the NUTS Karhunkierros trail running event in Ruka in May, June’s Solstice Festival in Ruka, July’s World Orienteering Championships in Kuopio, and Finland’s largest harness racing event, in Oulu, in August.
