This fully-inclusive winter break combines stunning scenery, adventure and relaxation in the heart of Finnish Lapland, 260 km north of the Arctic Circle. Stay at the Star Arctic Hotel, located on top of Kaunispää mountain and boasting panoramic views over Saariselkä. Just 25 minutes away from Ivalo, this property provides the perfect spot for an Arctic adventure as well as great opportunities to view the northern lights.
Upon arrival in Ivalo you’ll be transferred from the airport to the hotel where you’ll stay on a full board basis. With a wide range of winter activities all starting directly from the hotel, you can relax and soak up the experience knowing everything is taken care of.
As well as the winter activities available, the location is well away from the city lights making it an ideal location to venture outside in search of the aurora borealis and Saariselkä’s Ski Centre, the most northerly in Europe, is just a minute’s walk from the hotel, perfect for those who wish to hit the slopes.
