          Our Lapland is also Your Lapland

          “When you understand what Our Lapland is like, you won’t want to leave.” Our calendar is the Torne River. When does the ice break? Is it already flooding? Is the salmon coming? Is the river already frozen? Our clock is the sun. During the polar night the sun is barely rises, so why not stay in and take it easy. In summer there is light, night and day. So much time and so many nice things to do! Still, let’s take it easy. Have a seat, we’ll have a coffee and a chat.

          Take a moment to feel the rhythm of light and nature.

          Come along!

          The river runs hundreds of kilometres from the Torne Lake in northern Sweden to the far end of the Bay of Bothnia. The area of Original Lapland is vast and the distances may be long, however, the road network and connections cover the area well and getting from place to place is no problem.

Second hand shopping

Find a second hand gem!

In the municipal centres of the Torne River you can find wonderful flea-markets and second hand shops. In summertime there are also popular yard sales.

Slussen is a quaint second hand shop in the Pajala bus station that is great for furniture. Visit Kupan and get a new look with clothing finds. You can continue shopping in Tornio that also has a good selection of second hand shops.

There is one in the village of Pello and three in Ylitornio: 4H salvage shop and near the roundabout Kirppiskulma and Lahja & Löytökirppis.

In Kolari the salvage shop is located in the old school of Jokijalka and in Övertorneå there is Tornedalens Fyndbod in the Matarengi village. See the opening hours online!
