9 days in Rovaniemi Itinerary

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

Get some cultural insight at Church of Sodankyla and Santa's House of Snowmobiles. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Syvasenvaara Fell and Korouoma Canyon. Explore Rovaniemi's surroundings by going to Jemes Sport (in Yllasjarvi), Salla Museum of War & Reconstruction (in Salla) and Ranua Zoo (in Ranua). On the 28th (Sat), ski the day away in the pristine settings at Ski Resort Suomutunturi. There's much more to do: get in on the family fun at SantaPark - the Home Cavern of Santa Claus, steep yourself in history at Maupertuis Memorial, get engrossed in the history at Forestry Museum of Lapland, and admire the sheer force of Auttikongas.
