Travel to the Finnish winter dream

When the days get longer in the north, we fly you to Ivalo and Kuusamo - two fantastic winter destinations in Finland - in February and March. You can expect idyllic winter scenery, the famous Northern Lights and numerous adventures in the snow. Let yourself be enchanted by the winter magic of Finland. 

Ivalo

Located on the Arctic Circle, Ivalo is the gateway to the remote wilderness of Northern Finland. The city is located in the Inari region, which is known for its beautiful landscapes and is a popular destination for observing the phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis.

Apart from this natural spectacle, the surrounding area is a playground for a variety of winter activities. From the serenity of snowshoeing to the thrill of a husky safari and the fascination of ice fishing, there is a wide range of activities in this winter wonderland.

With 39 slopes covering a total of 19.1 km, the ski area is suitable for skiers of all levels. On your trip to Kuusamo you will also find thousands of lakes, rivers, waterfalls, gorges and pristine forests.
