“There is something so magical in nights spent under the Auroras in Glass Cabins and Igloos or waking up from a unique accommodation to a first snowfall”
As the Capital of Lapland Rovaniemi holds the widest selection of Special Accommodations in Lapland. There is something so magical in nights spent under the Auroras in Glass Cabins and Igloos or waking up from a unique accommodation to a first snowfall.
Rovaniemi offers various local ways to discover nature in Lapland; get to know the Arctic Animals on Husky and Reindeer hikes and safaris, float under the Northern Lights and go on photography tours.
The Aurora Borealis are visible in Rovaniemi from late August until mid-April making the Northern Lights season 8 months long in Rovaniemi! Rovaniemi is one of the best places in the world to see the Aurora Borealis, and also provides numerous guided Northern Lights tours provided by professionals.
From late July until September, locals go berry picking in the forests and on the bogs. The cloudberry is the crown jewel of Lapland’s berries, but bilberry (northern blueberry), lingonberry and cranberry are all healthy and desired catches.
When the “Ruska” or the Autumn Colours is at its best it is also the best time for berry and mushroom picking. Lappish chefs cherish the nature and its seasons. You can find “Ruska” on a plate here in the local restaurants.
First snow usually falls during October, sometimes as soon as late September. First snow makes all the Autumn activities and accommodations magical, even dinner in a local restaurant looking out to a snowy landscape while enjoying the local treats.
Waiting for the permanent snow cover sure makes you feel like a kid again. Late November is snowy enough for all the snowy activities to begin.
