Levi
If you are considering Finland as an option for your winter break, then there is a good chance that Lapland will feature highly on the list.

Finland is home to a number of ski resorts, with the most popular region being located within Lapland. It’s here that you’ll find the biggest ski resort on Finnish soil, Levi, where plenty of work has gone into improving the experience for skiers – with new lifts, an enhanced ski area and a special snowpark.
English speaking instructors are on hand to help beginners on the uncrowded slopes, with cross country skiing and snowmobiling also available. Resorts like Yllas and Iso-Syote are ideal for families whilst the more experienced skier will love the challenges that provided by Ruka, which sits barely 60km away from the arctic circle.
Within Finland, you’ll find plenty of options when it comes to après-ski, although be warned in advance that the bar prices when it comes to going for a drink after a day on the slopes aren’t the cheapest. Despite that, you’re sure to enjoy the fantastic atmosphere, with live music being found across many of the resorts.
You’ll also be able to embrace local culture and sample traditional cuisine, and that’s before even taking into the account the huge array of additional winter activities that are offered – from dog sledding to the magical experience of a trip to visit Santa Claus.
Accommodation in Finland is as stunning as the landscapes that surround it, with the chance to stay in traditional log cabins that sit in the forest or to head for a more luxurious hotel with all mod cons. Whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, or a group, you’ll be able to chose from a range of magical accommodation options to enhance your dream ski break.
Your lift pass acts the key to the slopes so we can help get them organised before you travel – meaning the moment you arrive in resort you’re free to get the action underway.
