Great Family experiences

The holiday was a great time with the family to enjoy the variety of experiences available. Downhill skiing was marvellous, slopes were excellent offering enough of a range for our abilities and we enjoyed the lack of queues and sometimes being the only ones on the slopes. The flood lighting enabled us to fully enjoy the skiing throughout the day without rushing and we loved the 'mountain huts' with their fires to warm up in. Accommodations ...

The holiday was a great time with the family to enjoy the variety of experiences available. Downhill skiing was marvellous, slopes were excellent offering enough of a range for our abilities and we enjoyed the lack of queues and sometimes being the only ones on the slopes. The flood lighting enabled us to fully enjoy the skiing throughout the day without rushing and we loved the 'mountain huts' with their fires to warm up in. Accommodations was to a high standard with excellent views and plenty of warmth. We want to go back to explore all the other winter sports available.

Great personal service, kept us well informed of arrangements. Very personable at the resort taking time to ensure we had everything we needed.

Fun, caring, looked after

A beautiful surrounding, great location, fabulous skiing! Ski in ...ski out really worked with children. Felt safe and well run. Everybody in the hotel was friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was things to do in the crèche ( thought girls were fabulous in the crèche just need more craft activities and games to do. The space was lovely though.) Loved it !

Ski Norway... super as last year! Helpful, quick to react to sort any issues! Caring and warm hearted .. A real pleasure, and great to feel so looked after! We had a lovely time and we're all sad to leave!

Surprisingly good.

Skiing in Norway in Feb was super in price, quality and snow sureness! The accommodation standard at Radisson Blu Trysil was as good as any 4-star hotel in France or Whistler, yet half the price. Advanced skiers may be bored but for intermediate skiers (blues / reds) such as us, the slopes were perfect. Our tour operator was very attentive and all went smoothly.

skiing in Finnish lapland

We skied for three days at Levi, we had great snow and good weather. We saw the Northern Lights, and the resort staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Ski Lapland

We were transported to another world for a week. From skiing to snowmobiling, husky sledding to sleeping in glass igloos it was an experience none of us will ever forget. Everything was organised for us by Ski Lapland which meant we could just sit back, relax and enjoy!

Ski Holiday in Levi, Finland

Our third ski holiday to Levi in Finland in the Arctic Circle. Levi is a small resort with short runs and mainly served by T-bars (although chair lifts and a Gondola serve the main runs). Well-groomed slopes perfect for beginners / intermediates, family orientated with superb accommodation for the price.

Our third ski holiday to Levi in Finland in the Arctic Circle. Levi is a small resort with short runs and mainly served by T-bars (although chair lifts and a Gondola serve the main runs). Well-groomed slopes perfect for beginners / intermediates, family orientated with superb accommodation for the price. We went during UK half term and had short queues with high quality service during lessons, restaurants, ski hire. Travel (for us) has been via Heathrow to Helsinki, and then to Levi, with only a 15 min transfer from the airport. Additional excursions include cross-country skiing, husky drives, reindeer parks, plus a chance of seeing the Northern Lights (which we did). Note, this is not for you if you are looking for a hi-octane Alps-equivalent, but perfect for a quality, relaxing holiday with skiing for the family.

SkiLapland have been our tour operator for the past three years and have dealt with all our requirements as well as being very attentive during our time away. They have successfully organised all ski hire, accommodation, transfers, lift passes, plus extra excursions. They are professional and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend using them (ask for Matt Nolan or Megan)

Fantastic Finnish Ski-ing

We travelled with SkiLapland to Helsinki for a stopover to look at this amazing city in the snow and awe at the frozen sea. We then travelled to Kittila for 5 days of skiing and with a side tour of husky sledging. It was all fantastic.

Best Holiday!

Our hotel was great, the food they served us in the restaurant was brilliant, we got to try some Finnish cuisine. Mainly Reindeer and False Morel Mushrooms. Everything was simply delicious. The reception staff lady that checked us in was fantastic, sadly I did not get her name. She spent time arranging for us to have a room with a better view and after asking her about phone calls if the lights appeared she kindly rang us when they faintly ...

Our hotel was great, the food they served us in the restaurant was brilliant, we got to try some Finnish cuisine. Mainly Reindeer and False Morel Mushrooms. Everything was simply delicious. The reception staff lady that checked us in was fantastic, sadly I did not get her name. She spent time arranging for us to have a room with a better view and after asking her about phone calls if the lights appeared she kindly rang us when they faintly decided to show up on the Monday evening. The Skidoo Safari was fun and we were lucky enough to see the lights right at the end of the excursion! The Huskey Sled Experience was something else, so sweet and funny being pulled along by dogs that are so excited they are frothing at the mouth then after they've done their run they are the sweetest docile little doggies. We spent a good 40 minutes after fussing them and had to keep being reminded we need to leave haha! We were pleased to have a change of scenery for the last night as there's only so many times we could walk around our area in Levi... What a one off experience After reading the documentation in the Igloo we understood why the bed was separate mattresses, because they lift up so that you can angle yourself to see the lights better, a very novel idea! Oh and we saw the lights again that night. The restaurant was wonderful and the surrounds there at the Igloos are just stunning. We were pleased to find out our booking had breakfast included! A brilliant holiday, thank you so much. A perfect Honeymoon!

Really pleased with what Karen and the team arranged for us. All of our transfers were smooth and perfect, everything was thought out and planned for us with care by yourselves.
