5 Reasons to Visit Rovaniemi in March 🌨️❄️

Looking for a winter wonderland adventure? March in Rovaniemi, Finland, is the perfect time to experience the magic of the Arctic! Here are 5 reasons why you should pack your bags and head to the "official" hometown of Santa Claus this month. 🎅✨ 1. Winter Sports & Arctic Adventures 🎿 March is prime time for winter sports in Rovaniemi. Skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are in full swing, and the trails are perfect for exploration. Prices for snowmobile tours start at around €120 for a half-day adventure. Rentals for skis and gear can be found at local shops for about €30 per day. 🏔️ 2. Catch the Northern Lights 🌌 March is one of the best months to see the mesmerizing Northern Lights in Rovaniemi. The skies are still dark enough, and the weather is often clear, making it ideal for Aurora chasing. You can book an Aurora tour for as little as €90, with some tours offering a cozy, heated hut to wait in comfort. 🌟 3. Visit Santa Claus Village 🎅🎁 A trip to Rovaniemi wouldn’t be complete without visiting Santa Claus Village, open year-round, but extra magical in March with fewer crowds. Located just 8 km north of Rovaniemi center, entry is free, and you can send postcards from Santa’s official post office! 🎄💌 4. Dog Sledding & Husky Safaris 🐕❄️ Experience the thrill of dog sledding through the snowy forests of Lapland! March is the perfect time to take a husky safari, with tour prices starting at €100 for a 2-hour ride. You'll glide through the stunning snowy landscapes, led by energetic huskies, and enjoy a traditional Lappish meal afterward. 🦮 5. Affordable Accommodation & Special Deals 🏨 March marks the end of peak winter season, so accommodation prices are lower than in the heart of winter. You can find cozy cabins or hotels starting from €100 per night, and many offer special deals, including winter activity packages. Look for deals at popular places like Arctic TreeHouse Hotel or Hotel Santa Claus. 🏠💰 Whether you’re looking for outdoor thrills, winter magic, or just a peaceful escape into the Arctic wilderness, Rovaniemi in March offers something for everyone. So grab your winter gear, and get ready for a snowy adventure like no other! #Rovaniemi #WinterAdventure #NorthernLights #ArcticExperience #LaplandTravel #DogSledding #SantaClausVillage #VisitFinland #MarchTravel

Arctic TreeHouse Hotel

I have to say this is the most comfortable hotel I've stayed in Finland. The food was excellent, both dinner and breakfast were impeccable, and the service was excellent, with 24-hour, comprehensive service. I wanted to go up the mountain to see the northern lights at 3 a.m., and they were there on call. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good, and I didn't see any aurora from the mountaintop observation deck in the freezing wind. However, this didn't affect the hotel's service quality at all. The next morning, I could borrow a fat bike and ride to Santa Claus Village. Cycling through the Nordic forest was a unique experience. The staff at the counter said that for three months after November or December every year, the park has its own underground Christmas park, which is exciting. Unfortunately, I couldn't see it and could only peek through the closed entrance. Even so, I still recommend visiting Arctic Village and don't miss the tree house.
