Introduction Northern Lights in Rovaniemi
IntroductionSome information may have been translated by Google Translate
Rovaniemi is a great place to watch the Northern Lights. Due to the special geographical location, auroras appear more frequently during the polar night in Rovaniemi. Cold winters and long nights create ideal conditions for aurora displays. This makes Rovaniemi a mecca for auroras lovers. People can look up at the stars in the long dark night and look forward to the colorful aurora dancing in the night sky. Many tourists come here specially to brave the cold wind of the polar night just to see this intoxicating brilliance.

Husky Sleigh Ride @Rovaniemi
Visiting Lapland of Rovaniemi in Finland will not be completed without a husky ride. The trainer will do a briefing to coach us on do and dons about the husky ride, how to have a safe ride, how to maneuver on the slop or difficult area, and how to signal the husky to stop. Each ride is for two people, one is sitting as a passenger, and one is the navigator or the driver. After the briefing, we proceed to the husky farm area, where we can interact will the baby or young huskies. Huskies love attention; upon our arrival, they all scream for attention. So cute, all the husky dogs are well trained and well fed, and friendly. The journey is to explore the national park in Rovaniemi, so the ride is not always smooth; some are slippery up or down the road. The ride takes around 45 minutes to one hour with a break in the middle. It is not easy, but it's worth it and fun. Location: #eurotrip #finland

Experience the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, Finland! BBQ Event! Red Laser Lights Up the Sky!
This time, I visited Lapland Rovaniemi in Finland to experience my first Northern Lights tour! The meeting point was in front of a place called 'Nordic Unique Travel' in the city center of Rovaniemi. This experience included setting up a tent in a desolate area, where we had a BBQ while waiting for the Northern Lights! My friends and I wore cold-weather protective clothing and waited outside for the Northern Lights. Although the waiting process was tough, we finally saw the red Northern Lights, and the sky was filled with stars! It was incredibly beautiful! Joining this Northern Lights tour was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Being able to see the Northern Lights in the icy wilderness, while BBQing and staying warm in a tent, was simply a perfect experience!4

Reindeer Sleigh Ride @Lapland
The reindeer sleigh ride is a popular activity during wintertime in Lapland; it is an activity suit everyone, it is available during the winter, usually starting around November and ending around April. Compared to my previous review of the Snowmobile and Husky ride, the reindeer sleigh ride is the easiest one. The reindeer has been trained to walk and pull the sleigh on the back; the sleigh can accommodate two people. The reindeer will walk in a group of few reindeers and follow the path journey in the arctic national park. The coach or the trainer will walk in front while the raindeers follow behind. The reindeer ride will end at the reindeer farm, where we can interact with the reindeer by feeding them and photo taking with them reindeers. #eurotrip4

SnowMobile @Rovaniemi, Finland
Wintertime and snowing are not for skiing only, especially if you don't know how to do it or there is no particular place for skiing. Well, the snowmobile is a new game player during wintertime. Snowmobile, also known as a motor sled or skimobile, is a motor vehicle designed for winter travel and recreation on the snow. It is designed to be operated on snow and ice. A snowmobile can accommodate up to 2 people and is easy to operate and drive. The power and the break are on the handle. Snowmobile is also the most common way of transportation in the Lapland wilderness area. It is so great to ride with a snowmobile because with a snowmobile; I can explore the park in the Lapland area during the snowing time, pass the frozen lake and see the wild animal in real life. Having a break in the middle of the ride and enjoying the scenery is the best life experience. Location: Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. #gooutside4
