Skidorter i Finland
Finnish Lapland sells an experience rather than vertical drop. Levi, Ylläs and Ruka have gentle, immaculately prepared fell skiing, extensive floodlighting for the dark months, and long spring seasons running into May under the midnight sun. Add reindeer, huskies and northern lights and it becomes a family trip that happens to include skiing.
