Flights to Rovaniemi
How to fly to Rovaniemi and Lapland in winter 2026–2027 — airlines, routes and getting from the airport to us.
Rovaniemi is one of the easiest places in the Arctic to reach. Rovaniemi Airport (RVN) lies just north of the city — around 10 kilometres from the centre — and in winter it is connected directly with dozens of European cities, on top of the year-round flights from Helsinki. Here is how to get to us, and how to continue to Aurora Hill Resort, the Postmaster Hotel or Eight Seasons Inari once you land.
Flights to Rovaniemi all year
| Airline | From | When |
|---|---|---|
| Finnair | Helsinki | Several flights a day, all year |
| Norwegian | Helsinki | Several flights a week, all year |
| Finnair | Tromsø (Norway) | All year, daily in winter (26 Oct 2026 – 28 Mar 2027) |
| Ryanair | Milan Bergamo | All year, five times a week in winter |
From Helsinki the flight to Rovaniemi takes about an hour and a half, and Helsinki connects to the rest of the world — so even without a direct winter route you are rarely more than one change away.
