Discover the history of Rovaniemi's Snowland. The resort reflects the changing seasons and offers a unique natural experience. Apukka Resort's history is intertwined with the northern lands and their stories. Lapland would not exist without respect for history and sustainability. One of the resort's aims is to highlight the region's historical heritage and the stories that were once told around campfires. At Apukka, many old, hand-built log cabins have been given new life. These structures have their own histories and stories, and will continue to live on for decades to come.

Among the hotel's many sustainable initiatives, Apukka uses traditional metal keys instead of the extensive use of plastic key cards. Metal keys last longer, produce no plastic waste, and are easier to find if lost in the snow. The Lapish Kanmi Suite is authentic, ecological, and above all, rich in history. With an on-board kitchen and comfortable twin beds under a skylight, it's the perfect setting for your own unforgettable journey.

Prices: from €261 Lapland Kanmi Suite (32 m²)
