GET ACTIVE - NIGHTS ARE WHITE ALL SUMMER

In Rovaniemi, nights are white throughout the summer from late May until early August. This means there’s 24 hours a day for activities like golfing accross the Arctic Circle, horsebackriding, floating, hiking, river cruises, visiting husky and reindeer farms and a whole lot more – pretty much anything you can do during the day, you can do in the night. Sleep? Do it later!
