Late Winter at Apukka Resort, Lapland
1.3.-4.4.2027
Lapland’s most unforgettable escape under the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi, Lapland. From glass-roofed igloos to reindeer rides through snowy forests, Apukka Resort brings your Arctic dreams to life — all in one breathtaking location on the Arctic Circle. Our exclusive activities and private routes create memories you and your loved ones will cherish forever.
From March to early April, Lapland shines with deep snow, bright sunshine, and daytime temperatures around -5 °C (23 °F) — perfect for winter adventures. As night falls, the Northern Lights often dance across the sky, making this one of the most magical seasons to visit.
The Most Spectacular Auroras of the Winter
Late winter is one of the best times to witness the Northern Lights, with activity peaking around the spring equinox at the end of March. At Apukka Resort Rovaniemi, some of the most mesmerizing Auroras have danced across the skies during these months — and you can marvel at them from the comfort of our glass igloos or venture out on our unforgettable Northern Lights tours for a front-row seat to nature’s greatest show.


Sunny and Snowy Adventures
After the long, dark polar night, the sun returns and late winter becomes the brightest time of the winter. By March, Lapland enjoys more than 12 hours of daylight, with sunshine sparkling on the snowy landscape. The deep winter snow has turned into a strong, shiny layer called hankikanto—“the snow that carries”—so you can easily walk or sled on top of it. These perfect snowy conditions last well into April, offering endless opportunities for winter adventures.
We've made everything ready for you
Our holiday packages make planning easy and carefree. Picture yourself joining exciting winter adventures, spending the night in a stunning glass igloo under the Arctic sky, and enjoying a delicious buffet breakfast each morning. From the moment you arrive at Rovaniemi Airport, we’ll take care of everything. And if you’d like to add extra activities or meals, that’s possible too!

Feedback from our guests
It was a short and unforgettable vacation. The resort is stunning, the view of the lake, the staff at the reception, the buffet, and the Aitta restaurant were always very friendly, helpful, and smiling. In many years of traveling, we have never seen so much attention paid to guests. We will definitely return in the future, in winter and with snow....read more...read lessApukka TripAdvisorMarco V01 Oct 2026
very nice staff, very good culturally appropriate accommodation, I would inquire beforehand which activities take place when, as some are not mentioned in the information letters such as fishing trips or canoe trips, aurora tours are always offered and I would possibly orient myself accordingly. more details can be found at the latest on site in the activity house opposite the reception, it is open until 9 pm. guests are very mixed by nationality....read more...read lessApukka TripAdvisorbatalion1201 Oct 2026
Our stay at Apukka Resort was truly magical from start to finish and easily one of the most memorable experiences our family has ever had.
We stayed in a Family Cabin, and it could not have been more perfect for us. The cabin was comfortable, cozy, and incredibly well designed. The beds were extremely comfortable, and one of the highlights was being able to look up at the sky from our cabin and watch the Northern Lights on clear nights. Seeing the aurora from the comfort of our own cabin was an experience we will never forget.
The staff throughout the resort were fantastic. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The entire property has a special atmosphere that really makes you feel like you are experiencing Lapland rather than simply staying at a hotel.
We also loved the little touches, including the complimentary hot chocolate and coffee refills, which quickly became part of our daily routine. After spending time outside in the cold, coming back and enjoying a hot drink made the experience even better.
What impressed us most was how well everything came together the location, accommodations, atmosphere, staff, and opportunity to experience the Arctic surroundings. It is difficult to think of anything we would change about our stay.
If you are traveling to Rovaniemi, especially as a family or hoping to experience the Northern Lights, I would highly recommend Apukka Resort. It was worth the trip, and we left with memories our family will have for a lifetime. We would absolutely stay here again....read more...read lessApukka TripAdvisorRobert W01 Oct 2026
We spent 5 unforgettable days at the Apukka Resort for our honeymoon and could not have wished for anything better. The atmosphere you breathe from the very first moment is magical, with a perfect balance between the authentic charm of Lapland and the comforts of a high-level facility.
Staying in the aurora family cabin with a view of the stream and the lake was a sublime experience: the privacy, the silence of the surrounding nature, and the panoramic view directly from the bed make every moment special. Waking up to that landscape while you admire the sunrise and falling asleep in the evening scanning the stars in the hope of catching the northern lights dancing in the sky from your own room is priceless.
Apukka Resort manages to stand out thanks to an extraordinary staff, always smiling, thoughtful, and attentive to every smallest detail they made our honeymoon truly unique. A culinary excellence: The dining exceeded all our expectations, refined dishes that enhance local ingredients with a modern touch, presented with care and accompanied by an excellent selection. Not to mention the excursions they are organized to perfection, with expert guides, top-quality equipment, and time management that allows you to experience nature without ever feeling like "passing tourists." The resort offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, guaranteeing intimate and quiet spaces ideal for couples but also for singles and families.
A true corner of arctic paradise. We recommend the Apukka Resort to anyone looking for a romantic, family-friendly, and classy experience in the heart of Lapland. We look forward to returning!...read more...read lessApukka TripAdvisorLua&Max01 Sep 2026
Apukka Resort is a true gem, located just about 17 km from Rovaniemi. Outside the busy peak tourist season, it’s the ultimate getaway from the city—a place where you can experience Lapland's nature in its purest, most breathtaking form.
The staff here are simply wonderful—always ready to help and happy to chat and share adventure stories whenever they have a spare moment. Special shout-outs and a huge round of applause go to Monika from the Adventure House, as well as Tomi, our Gold Rush guide and host for our private sauna & jacuzzi session. They truly deserve "Employee of the Year" awards!
While Apukka offers a great variety of activities, they have one absolute standout experience: the "Walk with Reindeer". It’s an unforgettable adventure that everyone should add to their bucket list! Walking through the forest with such a unique companion—who has his own strong personality, chooses his own paths, and leaves you wondering whether you’re walking him or he’s walking you—is pure magic. And if you’re lucky, he might even share a story or two in his own reindeer language!
Apukka is a magical escape, even for locals like my husband and me. We will definitely be back again and again! 🌲✨🦌...read more...read lessApukka TripAdvisorIzabela C01 Sep 2026
