Ski Saariselkä
One of the world's northernmost ski resorts, with more than ten runs on the slopes of Kaunispää, plus cross-country trails and a tubing hill.
The ski resort spans Kaunispää and neighbouring slopes. It has more than ten runs of varying difficulty and several ski lifts, making it suitable for intermediate and beginner skiers as well as families. The ski season lasts about half a year. Around Saariselkä there are roughly 200 km of well-maintained cross-country ski trails, some of them lit at night. There is also a sledding slope about 1 km long. Full equipment can be rented in the village, and activities such as husky, reindeer sleigh and snowmobile rides can be booked. Lift tickets must be bought in advance on the official website or on site.
