Rovaniemi is a small town with an enormous hinterland, and almost everything worth doing here starts with a pickup outside your hotel. These 15 are the ones that fill the week: what each costs, how many hours it takes, how cold you will actually be, and which to book first if you only have three nights.

Rovaniemi aurora hunt with hotel pickup, winter gear, and unlimited mileage and time in a small group, led by persistent guides.
“A fellow tourist (while visiting China) advised me to join a tour that went hunting for the northern lights and I had heard of people who went to Finland and did not see the northern lights. I found this tour operator who had good reviews on Viator / TripAdvisor and seemed well established. Although the sky was clear that night, we could not see the northern lights at Rovaniemi, but our tour guide/driver George drove about 1 hour out to a forested area which was a great spot, and we saw the northern lights! George delivered where it was important - picked us up on time, was alert and drove…”

Guided hike into Korouoma Canyon for Europe’s frozen waterfalls, then warm up by an Arctic campfire snack on a small group tour from Rovaniemi.
“It was amazing. The canyon is so so beautiful! During the walk you go up and down. We were allowed to use the ice slide twice that was next to the path. Super fun. Despite the -20 degrees, you warm up in no time. At the BBQ you get tea or hot chocolate. In addition, a Finnish sausage with potato bread. Real cozy. The way back after the BBQ was quite tough. It’s only up, so be ready for a steep hike! We didn’t take a lot of breaks, so we went up quite fast. New record. 😮💨😂”
Mush with Apukka huskies in Rovaniemi, drive your own sled on a 7 to 10 km ride, pet the dogs, and warm up with a drink.
“Of our many adventures in Lapland, the first 30 seconds of the husky drive excelled above all others - the realisation the you should have listened a bit better to the brief and that no one else is in charge of your pack was quite the buzz! Once you get in the groove it’s an adrenaline rush that lasts nearly 10km. If you are an idiot you will crash. Some Americans crashed, we didn’t. The dogs are wired to run, so stay alert and make judicious use of both brakes. I am 62 and took my 2 adult children, this meant that I was the odd one out and got…”

The landscape was a truly magical winter forrest. So beautiful - would totally recommend!”

Snowmobile through Lapland near Rovaniemi, learn ice fishing, then warm up with campfire soup and hot drinks on a 5-hour tour.
“This activity is a must! The nature is fantastic, we even saw some raindeers. Driving the snowmobile was pure fun - especially when you're driving on the frozen lake and river.
