What people are saying about Rovaniemi

Das Dinner im Snowmanworld war fantastisch! Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr aufmerksam, das Essen war sehr lecker und liebevoll angerichtet und nicht zu salzig. Mein Partner hatte das Menü mit dem Elch und ich mit Hühnchen. Beides sehr köstlich. Kann ich sehr weiterempfehlen. Ebenso die eisige Einrichtung, fantastische Skulpturen. Man kann im Snowmanworld alles nutzen und besichtigen. Wir waren auch Schlittschuhlaufen und die Rutche runter gerutscht mit den Reifen. Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht :)

Didn’t see the northern lights but the experience was still amazing. Malcolm was a wonderful guide and thoughtful towards all the guests. The ride in the sleigh and lighting the fire while the snow was falling was very special.

we couldnt see aurora becuase of weather. but we were having fun. we could eat great reindeer sausages and drink blueberry juice and marshmallow infinitely

Excellent dinner, fabulous setting and we were treated beautifully, even though the youngest girl wasn't exactly calm. Absolutely recommend!
