Finland : Winter Activity Break

For a fun-packed winter break nowhere offers more than northern Finland’s beautiful natural wilderness.   Our family activity breaks are in the pristine winter setting of Iso-Syöte which is just below Lapland.  You can choose from a wide range of fabulous winter activities including snowmobiling, snowshoe hiking, husky safaris and ice fishing – you may even see the incredible Northern Lights.

Known as the gateway to Lapland, Iso-Syöte lies in Finland’s southernmost fell region and boasts some of the country’s heaviest snowfall. Throughout the winter a deep blanket of glistening snow covers the beautiful landscape of fells and forests making it the ideal location for arctic activity breaks. 

Nearby you will also find 12 downhill slopes, a snowboard street, half pipes and a snow tube run where you can slide down the slope in a large rubber tyre. The gentle fell area is ideal both for beginners and cross country skiers, with 75 miles of well maintained trails starting from just outside the hotel.  The highlight of this family activity break is that there is a diverse range of activities available; from mild forms of exercise such as snowshoe hiking and ice fishing to more extreme arctic sports such as husky sledging and snowmobile safaris.
