Lapland anyone ?

But if you are like me, a relative beginner, who ski's, boards and xcross country skier its the ideal place for me. Plus because I want to do all the extra snow safari's, the last lifts every day are 9.30pm I can extend the hours spent on the slopes. Plus it was the only place I could find with log cabins for just the two of us, no sharing.
It might prove to be not what I expected but could prove to be my paradise.

Plus I am a big kid at heart and just love to play in the snow. :lol:

Unless you are an absolute expert Yllas/Levi these 2 resorts will be challenging for most skiers.

Whilst quite obviously it gets very cold, because of very little wind -10 can actually be very pleasant.

The last 2 seasons the wife/I have been to each resort, would recommend either to anyone.

Tip! If i recall we booked about a month before for each resort.
Inghams each year seem to have really good offers to the AKAS think we payed £350 HB, this year we stayed at the Crazy R for the same price booking with FC.

Trips I think there was very little in it Rep/Yourself.

Should you require anymore info then send me a PM.

In addition,

Whilst nothing in this life is FREE, you actually get to ski for 7 days your 6 day lift pass includes 1 free day. This is due to most of the flights not leaving Kittala till around 1900hrs and of course its only a 45 or 15 mins trans depending on which resort.

Plus most places in Finland/Lapland has its own personal sauna. Yippee, sauna as nature intended and not having to look at others anatomy :lol:

I must admit Tony_H it is a little puzzling :? I'm not a beginner, or a young kid & I certainly don't like to sit around all day. I too like to get up & down slopes (obviously) & ski from the first lift to the last - yet something about what I've read & heard from others appeals to me. If anyone out there has been to Finland to ski & found it to be pants, please let me know. If this is the case, then I'll probably ( & happily) go back to France, although I know some people don't like it there either :wink:

Go for Finland Salski, I am sure it will be amazing. A different experience than from Austria or France but brilliant all the same

Never fancied here at all till reading these threads. I will definately look into it, its sounds pretty good.

Rose R (? dunno how to scrol back) what about these cabins for two? is that right? sound lovely.. can you give me some more info?
