The city of Rovaniemi usually sees a permanent blanket of snow settle across the landscape by late November, transforming the area into a shimmering wonderland. While the snow might arrive as early as October or as late as December, it always brings a sense of excitement to both locals and guests alike.

Winter in Lapland is sometimes as unpredictable as it is breathtaking—the average winter temperature varies around -10 °C (14 °F) and sometimes drops even as low as -30 °C (-22 °F). Unique for the coldest months of the year is the fact that the winter’s sun is solely casting its light when visible, though withholding the warmth. Yet, no matter the coldness, the warmth of the experience lingers long after, as Lapland’s snowy adventure leaves an unforgettable mark on all who journey here.
