Discover Rovaniemi - Jewel of Lapland
Rovaniemi is the provincial capital of Lapland. It is situated
only a whisker away from the Arctic Circle at the confluence of
Northern Finland's two great rivers - the River Ounasjoki and
River Kemijoki. The city was founded during the Stone Age and is
thought to have been continuously occupied since that time.
Today, Rovaniemi is seen as the gateway to Lapland and enjoys
its status as a popular all year round tourist destination.
Summer in Rovaniemi
The summer in Rovaniemi may be short, but it is spectacular!
Bathed in 24-hour daylight under the Midnight Sun, the city and
its surroundings offer visitors a vast array of outdoor pursuits
to enjoy. The countryside overflows with hiking routes and cycle
paths. There are opportunities to try your hand at orienteering,
fishing and river rafting too.
Finland of course is well known for its lakes. Boat trips out
onto the many lakes that surround Rovaniemi can be enjoyed.
There are even opportunities to go adventure boating on some of
the lakes.
For family entertainment why not visit the Arctic Circle Husky
Park? You'll get to meet the huskies and learn about them,
as
well as watch them perform in the husky circus.
Winter in Rovaniemi
Rovaniemi is a winter paradise. It is an ideal base for winter
sports enthusiasts, the nearby Ounasvaara Ski Centre offering
first class skiing facilities on its seven slopes. Equipment
hire and ski lessons are available at the ski resort.
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing can be experienced from
Rovaniemi too, as well as snowmobiling and husky safaris. For
the kids Rovaniemi offers reindeer safaris, sled rides and
toboggan courses...and, of course, that magical visit to see
Santa Claus at home in Lapland.
Getting to Rovaniemi
