Where people go

The Lumberjack’s Candle Bridge in Rovaniemi after dark, its pylon lit, over a river edged with snow and ice

Rovaniemi

Easiest to reach, busiest in December.

Levi village seen from the fell in blue winter light, chalets and lit streets below a snowy forest

Levi

A ski village. Darker skies, everything a shuttle away.

Saariselkä at night from the top of Kaunispää fell, snow-covered roofs in front and the village lights in the valley below a starry sky

Saariselkä

Further north, smaller, closer to open fell.
