The best accommodations Finnish Lapland

Budget & Tips

Bivouacs are permitted throughout Norway, Finland and Sweden (except in special cases in national parks). It's a great way to stay anywhere, free of charge! Especially since bivouacs are very popular in Lapland. But beware of mosquitoes! Campsites often offer very reasonable rates for campers. Another inexpensive option.

To be booked

In high season, especially winter, it's imperative to book your accommodation (well in advance!) at least 2 to 3 months in advance. The risk is that you'll end up paying triple the normal price, because demand is high, but supply is limited, even very limited in some places.
