Early winter Nov 1 – Dec 14
Visit Rovaniemi in November and early December to witness the magic of the first snowfalls as the forests transform into a pristine, white wonderland. While the crisp air enhances the sauna and outdoor jacuzzi experience, the snow creates endless opportunities for Lapland adventures. You might catch the mesmerizing Northern Lights in the night sky from the comfort of your glass igloo bed, but most of all, early winter marks the awakening of a winter wonderland for us at Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos.
Discover Rovaniemi’s snowiest landscapes in November
During early winter, snow building begins for the next Arctic SnowHotel, set to open on December 15th. While guests cannot visit the hotel just yet, the grounds are transformed by towering snowdrifts that grow as the snow-building for the snow and ice hotel proceeds. Take in the beauty of snow-laden trees just outside your glass igloo accommodation and enjoy the first real taste of winter as arctic landscapes emerge. Rovaniemi in November and in early December is the perfect time to get a head start on your winter adventure in Lapland.
Unique early winter experiences
Although the Arctic SnowHotel is still under construction, guests can enjoy a variety of early winter activities. Our popular ice sculpting activity continues, allowing you to create your own frozen masterpiece. Once the snow arrives, activities like ice fishing and reindeer sleigh rides become available, but until then, early winter offers a different kind of adventure—a visit to a local reindeer farm where you’ll have the chance to meet and learn about these gentle creatures up close.
