Ski Holidays Finland

Finland has excellent snowfall, uncrowded resorts, cosy accommodation, and a friendly atmosphere.

It’s not the first place that most people think of when choosing a country to ski, but there’s a handful of really great resorts, many of which offer a lot more than just downhill skiing.

It’s ideal for groups of skiers and non-skiers, and kids will love the atmosphere at Christmas, when you’ll be able to spot reindeer in the wild and maybe visit Santa in Lapland—but be warned—it is cold and sunlight is limited with short days.

Expert skiers will want to head elsewhere, but Finland is great for a family winter-sports break, with plenty of activities and no crowds.

Why Choose Finland Ski Holidays?

Finland is the perfect place to experience an epic ski break, with its magical scenery and laid-back atmosphere. While resorts in France and Switzerland are known for their luxury, Finland is all about adventure, making it ideal for families.

Uncrowded Slopes

Both beginners and intermediate skiers will love the chilled-out vibes of Finland, where there’s endless snow and ski slopes to explore. However, resorts like Iso-Syote and Ylläs are ideal, because they’re quieter options with fewer crowds.

Snowy Adventures

Even non-skiers will love Finland, because there’s so much on offer. From snowshoeing to thrilling dog-sled rides and traditional Arctic charm, families can enjoy an unspoilt winter wonderland.

Scenery

Finland has beautiful scenery, including the enchanting Northern Lights, which are most visible between January and March. They’re the perfect photographic opportunity, and many resorts offer Aurora safaris or glass igloos that let you experience this phenomenon.

FAQs

What months can you ski in Finland?

Finland is one of Europe's most snow-sure countries, offering long ski seasons. Many resorts open between late October and early November and provide excellent skiing conditions through to the end of April.

The long season also means that you can save money, as there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy endless skiing in less crowded months.

Which is the best ski resort in Finland?

Finland has a range of popular resorts, but many consider Levi the best. It's in the heart of Lapland, and offers extensive slopes, reliable snow, and a modern village.

The resort has plenty of restaurants, winter activities and spas, making it ideal for a winter adventure that combines skiing with relaxation.

However, families also love Ruka and Ylläs for their versatile slopes and chilled-out atmosphere.

What is the best month to visit Lapland, Finland?

It depends on the type of trip you want to experience. For example, visiting Lapland in December is ideal for families as the area comes to life with Christmas cheer.

However, if you want to focus on skiing and avoid crowds, we recommend visiting in mid-January to March.

Is skiing expensive in Finland?

Compared to other Alpine destinations like Switzerland and France, Finland is the more affordable option.

Lift passes and accommodation are usually cheaper, but if you stay in Lapland's more remote areas, then food and drink might be more expensive.
