Ounasvaaran Pirtit
Aaria
Aaria is a red wooden house in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac, and a homelike B&B very handy for the ski-lift. Breakfast is €5 extra.
Hotelli Ilveslinna
In Ranua itself, 3km south of the zoo, Hotelli Ilveslinna makes a good place to hole up, with light, clean rooms that are gradually being renovated.
Hotelli Aakenus
Offering excellent summer value right from mid-May to the end of August, this friendly, efficient little hotel is a short distance west of the centre and a short stroll from the Arktikum.
Sporthotel Oppipoika
This unusual hotel, run by the hospitality school of the local polytechnic college, is very central and pretty good value: it has a pool and gym, and a very elegant restaurant run by the catering section.
Sokos Hotel Vaakuna
Sokos Hotel Vaakuna has elegant rooms, big breakfast and free sauna. It can feel empty in summer, but rates are good at this time.
Guesthouse Borealis
Cordial hospitality and its proximity to the train station make this family-run spot a winner. The rooms have no frills but are bright and clean; some have a balcony.
Scandic Rovaniemi
The clean lines, no-nonsense parquet floors and reassuring fabrics make this a solid choice in the centre of Rovaniemi.
Sky Ounasvaara
Atop the Ounasvaara fell by the ski runs, this offers great summer value, when just €5 extra gets you a room with a sauna. The rooms have huge windows and are very spacious with a Nordic feel; ask for one with views down the hill.
Ounaskoski Camping
Just across the elegant bridge from the town centre, this camp site is perfectly situated on the riverbank. There are no cabins, but plenty of grassy tent and van sites, with great perspectives over the Ounaskoski.
