Is There Snow in Rovaniemi in November

As November is the beginning of winter, the amount of snow is uncertain. This means, that natural snow might come and go, as the ground is not totally frozen yet. However, the permanent snow cover lasting throughout the winter usually lands in November.

Though there might not be natural snow in Rovaniemi in November, we will have snow in Apukka Resort. We want to make sure our November guests have the winter experiences they are looking for, so we are storing snow over the summer from last winter. This stored snow, along with cannoned snow, will make it possible for us to operate tours on snow already on the 13th of November 2023!

Polar Night and Northern Lights

Polar Night doesn’t mean only cozy darkness; it also means more hours in the night to catch the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights. In November, it is not impossible to catch Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky above Rovaniemi already at 5 PM. You can admire the night sky either from the comfort of your glass igloo, or hunt for the Northern Lights. For example, you can hunt the Aurora Borealis with horses or reindeer!
