A
visit to a local reindeer farm is one of the most memorable ways to learn about
northern life in Finnish Lapland. During a Beyond Arctic guided visit to a
local reindeer farm, you will not only meet the animals, but learn about the
traditions of reindeer herding, and enjoy a relaxed moment in a rural setting
outside the city.
In the forests of Finnish Lapland, about an hour’s drive south of Rovaniemi, Ranua Wildlife Park offers visitors a chance to see northern wildlife in a setting that reflects the animals’ natural environment. A guided visit with a Beyond Arctic photography guide adds another dimension to the experience, combining wildlife knowledge, photography, and a relaxed pace that allows time to observe the animals.
If you are considering a winter getaway to
Finnish Lapland, don’t overlook March. While many travellers focus on the
festive season or the heart of midwinter, Rovaniemi in March offers some
of the best conditions of the entire snow season. With longer days, frequent
sunshine, reliable snow cover and excellent activity options, March is a
practical and rewarding time to visit.
