Rovaniemi The best snowmobile/husky safari in Rovaniemi?
Posted: Mon January 28, 2008 05:40 PM UTC
There are so many companies offering a snow-safari based activity - which one is the best value for money? Three of us are travelling to Rovaniemi in 2 weeks for a few days.

Thanks in advance,

Rovaniemi Information about Rovaniemi and Helsinki
Posted: Thu November 22, 2007 12:52 AM UTC
Hi all,
I am planning to go to Rovaniemi and Helsinki during Christmas. I would like to know how many days I should spend in these two places.
Besides, I discovered that there is no night train from Rovaniemi to Helsinki on 24 Dec, does anyone know whether there are other means of transport that go from Rovaniemi to Helsinki on 24 Dec night?

Rovaniemi Activities in Rovaniemi.
Posted: Thu November 15, 2007 01:52 PM UTC
My wife and another couple are visiting Rovaniemi in March. We intend to take different safaris, husky, reindeer, Santa Claus etc., during our six day stay, but we were wondering what to do during the other hours of the day as they only last for a few hours. This is my third visit to Rovaniemi (both previous visits during November)and I did not mind the cold weather, even though I used to go about only in my suit, as it was a business trip. But my wife and the other couple are a bit worried regarding the clothes they should wear. It would be appreciated if advice on the best clothing to wear is forwarded.

Kiitos.

Rovaniemi General advice on Rovaniemi
Posted: Wed October 31, 2007 11:50 AM UTC
I am travelling to Rovaniemi next week (having left Australia some two months ago) and although I have several woolen jumpers, fleece etc with me I am now concerned about how cold it could get. I would like to take the train up from Helsinki overnight, spend one or two nights in Rovaniemi and then take either the day or overnight train back to Helsinki.

Any advice on how cold it COULD get, good (but not too expensive) hotels, things to do/see would be very much appreciated.

Rovaniemi Weather forecast 22nd December
Posted: Tue December 5, 2006 09:20 PM UTC
I'm getting very worried. I'v been checking the weather reports for Rovaniemi, and the snow seems very hit and miss. We're going on 22nd Dec for one day, and i've promised by kids (probably naively) that there will be loads of snow. Can anyone out there make me feel better and let me know if the white stuff is likely to make an appearance by then.

Thanks

Hi!
I'm actually in stockohlm and would like to go to Rovaniemi at the end of december. I found a cheap way to go there (boat from stockholm to helsinki then flight to rovaniemi). Then I'd like to come back to stockholm but by visiting Kiruna and some other cities on the east cost. I guess I can do it by train, don't I?The main problem is to go from rovaniemi to kiruna.Is it possible by train or by bus?If it is the case, where can I find a website in english to have an idea on the prices and on the timetables?
If you have any suggestions or advises, I'll be pleased to read them.
Thanks a lot for your answers!

Rovaniemi Norway to Rovaniemi
Posted: Wed March 8, 2006 01:41 PM UTC
Hi,
I am planning a trip from northern Norway to Rovaniemi in July. Can I use a train from Bodo or do I have to use a bus? How long is a journey and how much does it cost? I will be travelling with a Scandi Rail Pass.

I am planning on a backpacking through Sandinavia, so I need to know if there are cheap hostels in Rovaniemi or is there cheap homestays there. I also would like to know if the weather is cold in July in the actic, or is sweater sufficient.

I hope someone can help me plan this..:)

Cheers
