Rovaniemi Full-Day City Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at 29 Maakuntakatu and head to Ounasvaara Fell, the city's highest peak. Here you'll have the opportunity to climb up to the top of the hill.

Your next stop includes a 500-meter trip on a sledge pulled by huskies and a brief 400-meter reindeer sleigh ride. Following the rides, enjoy a cup of coffee and biscuits.

Then, we'll visit Santa Claus Village for a buffet lunch and a chance to meet Father Christmas and his reindeer. You can also deliver a letter to him personally. The village marks the Arctic Circle, allowing for a memorable photo opportunity.

Afterward, visit the Arktikum Museum, dedicated to the ice age, the Aurora Borealis, Arctic animals, and the Sami people. The museum features a 564-foot-long (172 m) glass corridor made from local materials.

To conclude, we'll return to the meeting point in Rovaniemi.
