Finland's ski resorts, particularly in Lapland and the Arctic Circle, are standout destinations for skiers and snowboarders. Imagine skiing under the northern lights, husky safaris through silent forests, and the chance to warm up in a traditional Finnish sauna after a day on the slopes. Add in advanced snowmaking, immaculate grooming, and a true Arctic atmosphere, and you've got a ski holiday that's as much about the experience as the skiing itself.
Levi is the top family choice in Finland. It has the most slopes, the best ski schools, and a compact village with restaurants and shops within easy reach. The gentle terrain suits younger or less confident skiers, and the off-slope activities – husky rides, reindeer safaris, snowmobiling – keep the whole family entertained. Ruka is another good option, especially for families who want a quieter, more nature-focused trip.
Finland is one of the most beginner-friendly ski destinations in Europe. The terrain is naturally gentle – fells rather than mountains – and the slopes are wide, quiet, and uncrowded. Levi and Ruka both have excellent ski schools with English-speaking instructors. The relaxed pace and soft snow make it a forgiving place to learn.
Ylläs is the best base for a winter activity holiday. It’s quieter than Levi, surrounded by national park landscapes, and has strong cross-country skiing alongside its downhill slopes. All three Finnish resorts offer husky safaris, snowmobiling, and northern lights tours, but Ylläs has the most remote, immersive feel.
Finland’s skiing is gentler than the Alps – think wide, quiet fells rather than steep mountainsides. It’s ideal for beginners and families, and the winter activities beyond skiing make it a unique destination. If you want big vertical drops, look elsewhere. If you want a different kind of winter holiday, Finland delivers.
Fly from the UK to Kittilä (for Levi and Ylläs) or Kuusamo (for Ruka), usually via Helsinki. Flight times are around four to five hours including the connection. WeSki packages include transfers from the airport to your resort.
The season runs from November to May – one of the longest in Europe. February and March are the sweet spot: reliable snow, more daylight, and a good chance of northern lights. January is colder and darker but offers a dramatic Arctic atmosphere.
Yes – all three main Finnish resorts sit above the Arctic Circle, giving you a good chance of seeing the aurora from September to March. February and March tend to offer the best balance of dark skies and clear weather.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other 'all-inclusive' sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
