Ski resorts in Finland

The ski resorts in Finland are famous for being immaculate, with well-maintained slopes free of stones and ice. You'll find that ski holidays in Finland offer the chance to explore some amazing Finnish forests and open terrain, mostly cross-country with some limited downhill skiing. In Finland there's snow for about 200 days a year, which means that the Finnish skiing season lasts longer than some others.

Who will enjoy?

Many of the ski resorts in Finland provide excellent beginners' facilities, which is a real bonus if you are a first time skier. This is the ideal destination for families, with many resorts having gentle family slopes that are wide and not very long.

There are a number of world-class race slopes that will challenge even the most advanced skier. There are also plenty of parks and streets for snowboarders.

Cross-country skiing is a favourite sport in Finland and there are plenty of well-marked trails, some illuminated for skiing after dark. The trails range from family-friendly to very demanding.

Finnish lift systems are the most modern and efficient in the world and so numerous that you are unlikely to ever find yourself waiting in a queue for one.

How many destinations?

There are over 100 ski resorts in Finland, which is pretty impressive when you remember that the country has no mountains. Instead, nearly every one of the many hills has at least one resort. Finnish ski resorts range from very small, with just two slopes and one lift, to the big resort of Levi, with 45 slopes and 26 lifts. We feature only the top handful to make life a little simpler.

Accommodation?

Finland offers accommodation of the highest standard, from hotels to traditional Finnish log cabins.

If you want guaranteed snow and breathtaking scenery, then a ski holiday in Finland is for you. If you decide to visit the Lapland area of Finland, you could also drop in on Santa Claus!
