Saariselkä Ski Resort
Saariselkä Ski Resort is the northernmost ski resort in Europe, built on the slopes of two fells, Kaunispää and Iisakkipää. The resort has 15 slopes suitable for all skill levels, with 6 lifts. At Saariselkä everything from the nature trails, the spa and hotels, restaurants and shops, is within walking distance. Saariselkä features a 1.2km snowboarding and freestyle skiing street, providing plenty of challenges with different level boxes and rails, and which gets altered as the season progresses according to conditions and demand. It’s also possible to make the over 1km journey from the top of the fell down to the village on a toboggan! As the ski-lifts are approximately 1km from the village there is a Skibus operating between the two many times a day during the season.
The range of winter activities includes alpine skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, cross-country skiing, fat biking, snowshoeing and off-track cross-country skiing.
