Ryanair Unveils 365-Day Service from Milan to Magical Rovaniemi
Ryanair Unveils 365-Day Service from Milan to Magical Rovaniemi —Because Who Says Santa’s Only a Winter Vibe?
Great news for those of us who like our summer holidays a little less beach towel and a little more reindeer and 24-hour daylight—Ryanair is now flying from Milan Bergamo to Rovaniemi all year round. That’s right. Santa’s official hometown isn’t just for snow globes and sleigh rides anymore.
As of Summer 2025, this once seasonal route becomes a twice-weekly, year-round adventure, with Ryanair now the only low-cost airline brave (and budget-friendly) enough to take you from Italy to Finnish Lapland no matter the month.

Rovaniemi in Summer? Yes, and It’s Magical in Shorts
Forget what you think you know about Lapland. Yes, it’s the land of snow, sleigh bells, and people who look suspiciously like Santa Claus. But in summer? It’s a wonderland of pine forests, golden sunlight that never sets, and shockingly good mosquito repellent.
From national parks that go on forever to Santa Claus Village (open 365 days a year because apparently Father Christmas doesn’t do holidays), Rovaniemi is staking its claim as a four-season destination. Midnight hikes, wild river rafting, husky cuddles without frostbite—it’s the stuff Instagram dreams are made of.
According to Dara Brady, CMO of Ryanair, “This is the first time we’re offering Milan–Rovaniemi for the summer season.” Translation: “Pack your sunscreen and your thermals—we’re going north!”
From Fashion Week to Forest Trails in Under 4 Hours
Thanks to Ryanair’s extension, you can now go from sipping aperitivos in Milan to wandering through the Arctic Circle in broad daylight—twice a week, no less. Route FR4311/4312 is your new ticket to a cooler (literally) kind of getaway.
And it’s not just for Christmas obsessives. With fares starting at €29.99, even the most budget-conscious adventurers can afford to swap city crowds for wide-open wilderness and a sun that refuses to clock out.
Oh, and if you needed another nudge, there’s a three-day flash sale happening now on Ryanair.com. So, if you’ve ever wanted to kayak under the midnight sun or eat cloudberries in a forest, now’s your moment.
Lapland Isn’t Just a Mood—It’s a Movement
Petri Vuori, Finavia’s Senior VP of Sales and Route Development, said it best:
“Ryanair is a key airline partner for us, and we’re thrilled to see the Milan–Rovaniemi route continue through summer. The midnight sun and tranquil natural landscapes offer a magical experience unlike anywhere else in Europe.”
Translation: Get yourself to Lapland, people. It’s not just for elves anymore.
This isn’t just a win for Ryanair’s Nordic expansion strategy (although, let’s be honest, it’s a clever move). It’s also a big boost for Lapland’s tourism scene, which is working hard to show the world that summer here is just as spellbinding as winter—minus the frostbite.
Bottom Line: You Can Now Visit Santa in Flip-Flops
To sum up Ryanair Unveils 365-Day Service from Milan to Magical Rovaniemi:
- Ryanair’s Milan–Rovaniemi route is now year-round, so plenty of options to pick from
- Two flights per week to Lapland even in summer
- Fares starting at €29.99 (yes, really)
- Polar adventure without the sub-zero temperatures
- Santa Claus + sunshine = unexpected summer goals
So whether you’re craving crisp Nordic air, pine-scented hikes, or a selfie with the big man in red while wearing sunglasses, Ryanair just made it a whole lot easier—and cheaper—to have your Arctic cake and eat it too.
Now excuse us while we Google “Can you tan in Lapland?” (Answer: Yes, and probably faster than on the Amalfi Coast.)
