Overview
With so much to do in Rovaniemi, the key planning question is how to prioritise. The golden rule: build your trip around the aurora.
Keep evenings flexible
The aurora is weather-dependent and best at night, so keep your evenings open to hunt whenever skies are clear. Don't lock every night into fixed plans.
Fit activities into the day
Santa Claus Village, Ranua, huskies and snowmobiles are daytime experiences — schedule them so you're not too exhausted to hunt at night.
Don't over-schedule
Leave buffer time. A packed itinerary that leaves you too tired for aurora nights defeats the purpose. See our itinerary guides.
