Salla is quite known for its cold temperature records in Finland. The coldest we have had is -54,4 °C measured in 1999. But luckily this is not the norm! During the winter months it can be quite cold, but the regular winter temperatures fall somewhere between –5 and –15 °C.

In the summer, it can get as hot as 30 °C, sometimes even more. However the normal summer temperature is around 15 – 20 °C.

In Salla we often get the first snow in October. The permanent snow layer comes normally in November and lasts until April-May. Usually we are able to do winter activities from beginning of December to late April, sometimes even until the beginning of May.

If you are visiting Lapland during winter, get warm clothes. Thermal underwear, a warm hat, thick socks and gloves help out a lot when temperatures drop below freezing. And layers are always handy, you can easily add more on or take some off. If you have trouble finding winter clothes, no worries, warm clothing is included in all guided safaris. You can also rent overalls, boots and gloves from our company. The rate for the week is 35 €/person.

During summer. In Lapland, the sun stays up constantly for a month around June-July.

Most of our cottages have own sauna. Please check with our reception beforehand if you want to have a cottage with an own sauna.

All our saunas work by electric heating. In the stove there are two switches: one for temperature and one for time. The temperature switch is good to have almost at the maximum.
In order to warm up the sauna, turn the time switch clockwise to the closest “2″. If you turn the switch more, the sauna will go on a timer and starts to warm up when it gets to “2”.
It takes about 45 minutes for the sauna to be warm. When using the sauna, in Finland it customary to throw water into the stove, that makes the sauna more humid and enjoyable.
