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.

Rovaniemi Northern Lights tours are always on the “must-do” list for visitors to Finnish Lapland’s capital city, but in the second half of winter, we are really entering one of the best stretches of the winter season.

The shortest winter days are now in the rear-view mirror. From January onwards, winter in Rovaniemi takes on a new rhythm. Daylight stretches a little further each day, and the snowy landscapes of Finnish Lapland become easier to explore.
