Salla Ski Resort, Finland

Home » Finland » Salla

Introduction Skiing Snowboarding Apres Ski Salla © Salla is the perfect choice for anyone in search of a true isolated frontier winter sports experience. There is a small resort village and ski area and very little else except for a frozen wilderness of gently rolling hills (or “fells” as they’re known locally), most of it covered in forest and home to some 10,000 reindeer.[more] Salla is actually the name of the region which extends over the nearby Russian border and covers nearly 6,000 square kilometres, and with a total area population of less than 5,000 there’s more than a square kilometre each for everybody living here. The limited ski slopes and small vertical means that the appeal for more advanced skiers is somewhat limited, and the resort is marketed primarily at beginners, early intermediates and anyone looking to try out the many other winter experiences available here . In common with other Scandinavian resorts you should be prepared for very cold temperatures, with lots of thermal layers and added thermal inners for your gloves and ski boots. Be prepared to head in to a warming cafe every hour or so when the temperatures do drop into double figures below zero, although it can be warmer a lot of the time. Mid-winter – December and January are coldest and the darkest months, but there is extensive floodlighting to brighten many of the slopes at the beginning and end of the day. Plus virtually all accommodation offers a private sauna cabin in your room. The positive pay-off is that by March the days are rapidly getting longer than in the Alps and the low temperatures means that the snow lasts and snowmaking, which covers all the slopes, can operate efficiently.
