The
natural essence of Lapland: the scenery of the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun
and the northern lights is absolutely breathtaking. And Rovaniemi is the gateway
to all that is Lapland. Sitting exactly on the Arctic circle, this is where Santa
Claus lives during the rest of the year getting ready for the next Christmas.
So of course you can visit Santa any day of the year at his year-round home and
see Santa’s busy Main Post Office. In fact, Santa’s home is right next
to the airport at Santa Claus Village. You can reach it from the airport either
on foot or by taking a reindeer, dog team, sleigh or of course, by car.
To
get in some action, Ounasvaara is the major year-round sports centre of the area.
In the Winter, Ounasvaara has downhill and cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
In the summer, hiking, summer bobsleighing, and golf.
Besides
as a gateway to Lapland, with many options for adventure, Rovaniemi itself offers
many class restaurants, hotels, and museum options. Get a great understanding
of the Lapland peoples, nature and history, and cultures of all things north of
the Arctic Circle at the The Arktikum or the Rovaniemi Art Museum. And then venture
off to the nature and beauty of Lapland.
