For many travellers, a winter trip to Finnish Lapland is something to look forward to well in advance. The combination of Arctic landscapes, seasonal activities, and limited daylight creates a distinct travel window that benefits from early planning. With winter 2026–2027 tours in Rovaniemi and Levi are now open for booking. This is the right time to start shaping your trip to Rovaniemi or Levi with the support of experienced local guide here at Beyond Arctic!

For travellers staying in Levi, it’s easy to enjoy well-marked trails and nearby scenery. But if you’re looking to step beyond the resort and experience Lapland’s natural landscape in a deeper way, you may want to consider Beyond Arctic’s full-day trip to Pallas-Ylläs National Park. This guided adventure combines Arctic exploration, practical outdoor skills, and time to simply observe the environment at a slower pace – not to mention the views from the top of the fell!

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.
