6 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

An urban center set amongst the great Arctic wilderness, Rovaniemi serves as the capital of Lapland province.

Step off the beaten path and head to Korouoma Canyon and Syvasenvaara Fell. Visiting Safaris and Ski Resort Suomutunturi will get you outdoors. Change things up with a short trip to Ski Resort Ritavalkea in Pello (about 1h 30 min away). And it doesn't end there: identify plant and animal life at Napapiirin Porofarmi, get engrossed in the history at Arktikum, don't miss a visit to Santa Claus Village, and take in the dramatic scenery at Auttikongas.
