More magical moments to share

We all know that it’s the smaller moments that help make a trip truly romantic – those little moments when you take some time for yourself are when the magic happens.

  • Stroll hand-in-hand down a frozen river in the golden light of a Lapland sunset.
  • Select a hand-made traditional Lapland kuksa (wooden cup) for each other with your names and the date of your trip etched into them. Or find a unique souvenir to remind you of your trip.
  • Take a walk along the Ounasvaara nature trailand climb the viewing tower to find a romantic bird’s eye view over the glittering lights of Rovaniemi city.
  • There’s plenty of fun to be had on two skis, and whether you prefer cross country or downhill, the courses and trails at Ounasvaara Ski Resort will get you up to speed in no time.
  • If you prefer two wheels, the latest craze of winter fatbiking will put a big, bouncy smile on your faces.
