Even though
Kemi isn’t quite the same as Lapland it is located in the south west of
Lapland’s region. This means we get to enjoy full winter season. We are
probably the best know winter loving industrial town in whole Finland. And that
is because our amazing SnowCastle and other winter attractions.
Some people
say that natives in Kemi seem to have something out of place when it comes to
ideas. Who knows? Maybe the one who first said that “We should build the
biggest snow castle in the world” wasn’t even dead serious at the time. It was
most like the rest of the crowd who said “Yeah we should!”. Whatever the case,
we now know that this huge snow structure has been re-built every winter since
1996. Read more about Snowcastle from here.
