What is Piparina?

Piparina is something you won’t find anywhere else in the world (as far as we know) – a gingerbread village brought to life in Santa Claus’s hometown Rovaniemi. Opened in October 2025 by the local family-owned Snowhotel Family, Piparina is a place to rest, dine, and celebrate, all wrapped in the magic of gingerbread and Lapland traditions.
