Winter at Ranua Resort is magical. White snowdrifts, a starry sky, the glow of the Northern Lights and the tranquil atmosphere of the northern wilderness envelop visitors in a soft embrace.
Along the wildlife park trail, the snow crunches underfoot and the animal keepers introduce visitors to the winter activities of our Arctic animals. We have also put together a comprehensive range of winter experiences and activities for our guests outside the wildlife park, for which the surrounding natural landscape provides a magnificent backdrop.
On this page, you’ll find a round-up of the programme, events, offers and tips for enjoying your stay at Ranua Resort during the 2026–27 winter season. The page will be updated throughout the winter as event dates are confirmed, the wildlife park programme changes and new offers become available!
Come and enjoy the winter atmosphere at Ranua Wildlife Park, the Wild Arctic restaurant and the Resort’s stunning surroundings.
