Three Places, Three Kinds of Winter
Each suits a different trip. Rovaniemi is the easiest choice for a first visit or a family Christmas, Levi for a ski week, and Saariselkä for quiet nights under a dark sky. You can also combine two, and the same team drives you between them.
Three Bases in Finnish Lapland
Rovaniemi
The Arctic Circle, Santa Claus Village and the easiest arrival.
Levi
Ski slopes, chalets and restaurants a short drive from Kittilä Airport.
Saariselkä & Ivalo
The furthest north of the three, with dark skies and few people.
Airport transfers
Arriving Anywhere in Lapland
Three airports serve the region. Your chauffeur tracks the flight and waits at arrivals, whichever one you land at. We also drive between the bases, such as Rovaniemi to Levi.
