January
It's cold. Very cold and very dark. But this is the beginning of the active
winter; there's enough snow for ice hotels, and sledding, snowmobiling and
skiing are reliable.
Skábmagovat
In the third week of January, this is a film festival (
www.skabmagovat.fi
)
with an indigen-
ous theme held in the Sámi capital of Inari.
Ice Hotels
It's a memorable experience to spend a night in one of these ethereally beautiful places.
February
Skiing really kicks off in northern Finland, with a peak holiday season around
the middle of the month.
