Transfer from Rovaniemi train station to the Arctic Treehouse hotel, your accommodation for the coming two nights. The concept of Arctic Treehouse hotel has its roots in fragile arctic nature, the fairy tale world of Santa Park, and northern culture and heritage. All the buildings are made of Finnish wood, a traditional, sustainable and renewable material. The green roof helps in managing urban runoff and brings the building’s footprint’s worth of vegetation back to the construction site.

There is a lot to see and do in Rovaniemi, from simply enjoying your surroundings to partaking in fun filled adventures.
