Lapland Fjords & Wilderness Drive (19/26)
Discover one of the most awe-inspiring stretches through the heart of Finnish and Norwegian Lapland. This scenic route winds its way from the lush forests near Saariselkä to the rugged fjord landscapes near the Norwegian border. Along the way, immerse yourself in the serenity of pristine lakes, vast tundra, and dense pine woods. Pause for panoramic views over Lake Inari, and enjoy unique opportunities to catch glimpses of reindeer roaming freely. The journey takes you past the sparkling Paatsjoki River and toward the northern reaches where the midnight sun paints the sky in summer, and brilliant auroras dance across winter nights. Traditional Sami villages and charming wooden churches dot the landscape, giving you a taste of authentic Lapland culture. This drive is perfect for those who seek natural beauty, tranquility, and unforgettable viewpoints amidst Scandinavia’s wild north.
