What Makes Skiing in Finland Different?

A True Arctic Experience

Skiing here is only part of the story. Enjoy reindeer sleigh rides, snowshoe safaris, ice fishing, or simply watch the aurora from your igloo.

Made for Families

Finnish resorts are built with families in mind. Short transfers, safe slopes, and magical excursions make this ideal for younger travellers.

Northern Lights Included

Finland offers some of the highest chances in Europe to spot the aurora borealis. January to March is peak season.

Peaceful, Low-Key Après-Ski

You’ll find the après-ski in Finland is quieter than the Alps. Think hot chocolate by the fire rather than late-night partying.

Family Ski Holidays in Finland

Lapland is built for families. Resorts like Levi and Saariselkä have short, gentle slopes, English-speaking instructors, and magical extras like visits to Santa, husky sledding, and toboggan zones.
