Itinerary 7-10 days: From Helsinki to Rovaniemi, immersion in Finnish nature

This route begins in Helsinki, the dynamic capital by the Baltic Sea, where you can visit its markets and modern architecture. By motorhome, take the road to Lappeenranta, in the heart of the lake region, ideal for a first quiet night. Continue to Lieksa to explore Koli National Park, offering accessible hikes amidst rolling landscapes. Proceed to Oulu, then Ruka, a mountain resort renowned for its trails like the Karhunkierros. Finally, end in Rovaniemi, the gateway to Lapland, where wild nature and Sami culture await you. This circuit combines cities, nature, and outdoor activities while remaining accessible in about ten days.

Itinerary 14 days: Complete crossing from south to north with cultural and wild discovery

In two weeks, depart from Helsinki to head towards Vaasa on the west coast, then stop in Turku, a historic city surrounded by forests and islands. After a night by the Gulf of Bothnia, follow the coast to Oulu before reaching Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. This journey allows you to alternate between urban visits, nature breaks, and immersion in Lappish traditions. You can extend your stay around Rovaniemi to enjoy hikes or forest excursions. This circuit offers a good balance between cultural discovery and varied landscapes, while remaining comfortable for a motorhome trip.

Itinerary 21 days: Grand tour of Finland to the North Cape, ultimate Nordic adventure

For three weeks, depart from Helsinki and cross the entire country from south to north, passing through Vaasa, Oulu, and Rovaniemi.

Traveling by motorhome or van in Finland

Finland offers a unique experience for travelers in a motorhome or van, with wild landscapes, endless lakes, and striking seasonal contrasts, where each time of year reveals a different facet of the country.

When to travel to Finland by motorhome

The best time to travel by motorhome in Finland is from April to September, when the days are long and temperatures are pleasant, ideal for exploring regions like Rovaniemi or the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. In summer, particularly between June and August, the sun hardly sets, providing uninterrupted days to discover Finnish nature.

In winter, Finland transforms into a fairy-tale landscape, especially in Lapland where snow covers everything and the Northern Lights illuminate the sky. The months from December to February are perfect for those seeking the magic of snowy landscapes and winter activities, but conditions can be harsh and days very short.

Weather and seasons in Finland

In summer, temperatures range from 20 to 30 °C in the south, around Helsinki or Tampere, while the north remains cooler, ideal for hiking in national parks. In winter, temperatures often drop below -10 °C, reaching -35 °C in the north, particularly in Kemi or Sodankylä.

Spring and autumn offer changing landscapes, with golden hues in September around Lake Olkkajärvi or budding trees in May near Kuopio. These seasons are quieter and allow you to avoid crowds while enjoying nature in full transformation.

Seasonality of rates

Rental rates for motorhomes and parking areas increase during high season, from June to August, especially around major cities like Helsinki or in northern national parks. In low season, from November to March, prices drop but services are reduced, especially in remote areas like Lapland.

Between May and September, campsites like Saarituvat in Rovaniemi or Olkkajärven Venesatama near the Arctic Circle are open and offer rates suitable for van travelers, while in winter, most close their doors and it is advisable to favor service stations equipped for motorhomes.

Practical tips for traveling by motorhome in Finland

Finland offers exceptional freedom for travelers in a motorhome, with diverse landscapes ranging from the forests of the Kainuu region to the lakes of Helsinki and the Northern Lights of Lapland.

Driving and regulations

In Finland, dipped headlights must be on at all times, even during the day, on all roads, including around the capital Helsinki or in rural areas like the Saimaa region. Motorhomes are limited to 50 km/h in cities, 80 km/h on roads and highways, regardless of the season. Seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, including in the back, and winter tires are required from December to February, especially on Lapland roads where conditions can be particularly challenging.

Sleeping and connecting

The Finnish customary law, called jokamiehenoikeus, allows for free camping in nature, particularly near the lakes of the Savonlinna region or in the forests of Rovaniemi, provided you respect the environment and do not approach private homes. Wild camping is prohibited in national parks like Pallas-Yllästunturi and on beaches. Official campsites, such as those in Turku or Kuusamo, often offer electrical hookups and sanitary facilities.

Local tips & safety

In Finland, it is advisable to remain vigilant on secondary roads, especially in the Lapland region where some routes may be blocked in winter. Speed cameras are numerous, especially around major cities like Tampere or Oulu. In case of an accident, dial 112. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l, and it is strictly prohibited to park less than five meters from a pedestrian crossing, for example in the city centers of Lahti or Jyväskylä.
