Located at the top end of the resort, you have immediate access to a network of scenic cross-country routes right from the door. When you’re ready to switch to downhill, the ski bus stops directly outside the hotel, making the trip to the slopes completely seamless.

Designed with skiers in mind, the rooms feature essential amenities like drying cabinets or heated towel rails to ensure your gear is warm and ready for the next morning. After a full day on the fells, you can retreat to the lounge to unwind by the open fireplace or refuel at the modern Restaurant Revontuli.

Discover Saariselka

Located in the wild, mystical north of Lapland, Saariselkä is home to the northernmost ski resort in Europe - one centre, two mountains. With magnificent Arctic wilderness scenery just on the doorstep, it makes an ideal resort for an all-round winter wonderland adventure. The skies are often a deep hue of pink and purple, the pine trees heavily covered with snow, and being so far north, there is a good possibility of skiing under the Northern Lights, too.

The downhill ski and snowboard area is spread across the Lisakkipää and Kaunispää fells and is best suited for beginners and intermediates. The ski schools here speak English, and all of the slopes lead back to the same area in the valley where you'll be able to warm up in the café or by a campfire.

While you're here in Europe's northernmost ski resort, check out the excellent cross-country ski trails in the adjoining National Park. In Saariselkä, there are over 200 kilometres of cross-country ski tracks, 34 of which are illuminated - so you can make the most of these tracks despite the polar nights.
