Rovaniemi: Ranua Zoo and Optional Snow Hotel Tour｜Finland

We may be new to this platform, but we bring long-standing experience operating tours in the Arctic, ensuring every trip is safe, well-organized, and memorable.

Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from Rovaniemi, where your guide welcomes you and outlines the plan ahead. As you travel through the serene Lapland countryside—snowy forests and frozen lakes—you’ll be introduced to the region’s wildlife, nature, and local culture.

The first stop is Ranua Wildlife Park, home to more than 50 Arctic species. Walk along a scenic 2.5 km forest trail and observe animals native to the region, including polar bears, brown bears (seasonal), lynx, wolves, wolverines, Arctic foxes, snowy owls, eagles, musk oxen, and reindeer. There’s plenty of time for photos and observation, making this experience ideal for families and nature lovers. After the walk, you can relax at the café or visit the souvenir shop.

Next, you can choose to continue for the stunning Arctic Snow Hotel, a magical world built entirely from snow and ice. Explore beautifully carved ice rooms, snow suites, an ice chapel, ice restaurant, and the famous ice bar—where even the glasses are made of ice. Learn how this iconic hotel is rebuilt every winter and kept frozen throughout the season.

Finally, sit back and enjoy a relaxing drive back to Rovaniemi, taking home unforgettable memories of Arctic wildlife, icy art, and Lapland’s breathtaking winter landscapes.
