NEW YEAR’S EVE IN ROVANIEMI
6 days | 5 nights
Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland, located at the Arctic Circle. This Nordic region has eight different seasons, each with its special light, temperature and natural phenomena. The changing seasons offer excellent settings for all kinds of activities and walks through the snow-covered forests and on frozen rivers: reindeer safaris, dog sledding safaris and snowmobile safaris. Try ice fishing on a frozen lake or spend a night in an ice room with a constant temperature of -5 degrees – the choice is yours!
Although the Christmas period takes place only once a year, you can experience Christmas in Rovaniemi throughout the year.

At Lapland’s magical border of the Arctic Circle, the festivities will be held for welcoming in the New Year.

New Year’s tin casting is an old Finnish tradition to see what the future holds. The fortune tellers, Shamans, will help you interpreting the marks for the future in your tin.
