Animals: Lapland does not have an ample number of animal species. However, they are all the more impressive. The bear is Finland’s national animal and a portion of the country’s bear population live in the Lapland Province area. In addition, wolverines and wolves can be found in Lapland. Lynx is the only wild cat in Finland and approximately only 5% of Finland’s lynxes live in the reindeer herding area. Elk is Finland’s largest wild animal, which lives in forests and marshes. The protected arctic fox is rare in Lapland. The red fox, rabbits, and other small mammals are more common sights. The lemming, also referred to as the "reindeer mouse", is common in Lapland’s forests. The rough-legged hawk, a relative to the common buzzard, is the most common of Lapland’s birds of prey. Lapland has the largest population of eagles in Finland. The most common small-sized birds among birch trees include the meadow pipit, northern wheatear, and the willow warbler.

Moving about in Lapland’s nature is safe, despite all of the aforementioned animal species. Nearly all of the wild animals try to avoid human contact.

Reindeer: Is a significant part of Lapland’s nature and is one of the signature signs of the North. Reindeer have well adapted to the harsh conditions of Lapland. Lapland has approximately 200,000 reindeer, which is more than the population of people. Reindeer are semi-wild animals, which are herded by man. Every reindeer is owned by someone. Therefore, they do not live wild in the nature, even though they roam about freely. Reindeer have the legal right to freely graze in the reindeer herding area. There are approximately a total of 6,500 reindeer herders, both women and men.

GAAF. Ik ben jaloers. Ik heb vorig jaar zo genoten in Lapland, Levi (ca. 250 km naar het noordwesten). Zo'n indrukwekkende wintersportvakantie. Ik zou zo weer teruggaan. Prachtige skipistes.

Tips:
- zorg voor voldoende thermo ondergoed. Dat is geen overbodige luxe. Bij ons was het - 37 gr C.
- gezichtsbescherming van neopreen (verkopen ze op de diverse skipiste ca. 10 euro).
- goede zonnebril en skibril

En vooral genieten. Het is geweldig om met sneeuwscooters over de bevroren meren te razen of met de husky's.

Oh ja, nog een tip: Ga paardrijden! Echt magisch om zo in de diepe sneeuw te rijden.
