 The snowcastle plan for 2005 by Fjord87
The snowcastle itself is in the same place every year, but during the ten years it has been built, it has changed and grown bigger. Inside the castle walls there are many things. An ice hotel, snowrestaurant, chapel, suite, gallery, ice tower, rooftop terrace, sauna, labyrinth and a lot more, even a "snowballsea"for the kids!
The castle is worth going to, and also Kemi itself, even though it's even smaller than Rovaniemi, is a lovely city! It's situated about 100 kilometers south from Rovaniemi, just in the "armpit" of the Gulf of Bothnia.

 Vaattunki bridge by Fjord87
The best time to visit Vaattunkiköngäs is probably in June, but also in the autumn when the ground is full of berries. The place is pretty new and it has about 30 km of good-quality tracks. There are also cabins you can reserve. There are many activities you can do in Vaattunkiköngäs. In the summer you can go rapidboating or rapidswimming, canoeing, fishing, photographing and hiking. In the autumn you can do all the previous and berrypicking and mushroompicking. In the winter there are snowshoe hiking, snowmobiling, husky- and reindeersafaris and cross-country skiing. All the special, equipment-requiering activities can be ordered from the number below.
I've spent some memorable autumnpicnics at Vaattunkiköngäs with my family and friends, usually when we go there we take some sausage, bred, mustard, salad and other food, cups for berrypicking and a happy mind... then we walk a bit, go to the rapids and the kids can play there, then we eat and have some more fun and then go home. It's simple and refreshing!! I recommend! Leave a Comment

Each year, Santa gets hundreds of thousands of letters from 150 countries all over the world. The children in Great Britain, Poland and Japan are the busiest writers. During the summer months, Santa gets approximately 100 letters every day. He tries to answer letters from foreign countries, if the writer requests a reply.
Many children and grownups think that Santa's study with the fireplace is the nicest room of Santa's Main Post Office. There you can admire letters, pictures and gifts sent by children, and sit down for a moment in Santa's sturdy rocking chair. In the background you can hear lovely Christmas carols.
The address of Santa Claus is: Santa Claus' Main Post Office, Santa Village, FIN-96930 NAPAPIIRI Leave a Comment

In winter time you can experience a
drive on sleds pulled by reindeer, but
you can also visit the Reindeer Park
in summertime when you can watch closely new born reindeer calves. Leave a Comment
