8 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Venture out of the city with trips to Pyhatunturi (in Pelkosenniemi), Giewont Husky Adventures (in Kittila) and Amethyst Mine Lapland (in Luosto). Spend the 15th (Sat) exploring nature at Pyha-Luosto National Park. There's much more to do: make a trip to Santa Claus Village, pause for some serene contemplation at Rovaniemi Church, see Santa Claus Office, and hit the slopes at Ounasvaaran Hiihtokeskus Oy.

In February, plan for daily highs up to -6°C, and evening lows to -11°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 15th (Sat) to allow time to travel back home.
