So be ready to face fully booked accommodation well in advance, necessity to book activities beforehand and restaurant tables.

We’d recommend to plan a trip to Rovaniemi from end of November till mid April to get as much as possible from the Lapland trip. During this time there will be snow, and many winter activities run from end of November.

Note:
* December and January is time for Polar Night in Lapland when sun does not rise above the horizon. It does not mean that there is dark all the time. There will be some kind of blue shining during a day (inbetween 10am to 2.30pm) and sun will be very very low, almost at the horizon line.

January: -30 to -15 degrees Celsius

There is quite dry air and wind is not very often, so even severe frost is not so terrible.

Some Rovaniemi activity companies provide winter multi-layer clothes for rent which can be used during holidays as daily overall.
