Overview: chalet description: Santa's Kuukkeli Log Cabins description

Embrace the warmth of a traditional Lappish log cabin in the heart of Saariselkä. Snuggle by the fire after days filled with snowy adventures, husky sleigh rides, and snowmobiling. Choose from three cosy cabin sizes in two charming buildings, Hirvas and Teerenpesa, each crafted in the traditional Lappish round-log style.

Both the Hirvas and Teerenpesa buildings are in the centre of Saariselkä and around a 5 minute walk to Santa's Holiday Club, which is where you will have both breakfast and buffet dinner. The Festive Dinner will be held in Santa’s Hotel Tunturi, which is another short walk from the cabins, on the last evening of your holiday.


Choose your Santa’s Lapland experience

Both of our Lapland holiday packages include a reindeer ride, sledging with huskies, tobogganing, lots of snowy activities like snow hockey and mini skidoos, and a private visit with Santa. On our Santa’s Aurora package, your activity centre is exclusive to our Santa’s Aurora families and you’ll have an additional wilderness dinner, a visit to Santa's Elves Workshop and a longer husky ride and a snowmobile safari.

Europe’s northernmost ski resort, Saariselkä is 250km up from the Arctic Circle, not far from the Russian border. One of the main resorts in Lapland – the legendary home of Father Christmas – it has snow-sure skiing, a Christmas-card-esque village and heaps of festive activities all in one place. The village itself is surrounded by forest and full of winter wonderland charm, with its own little chapel, some shops and restaurants and accommodation ranging from spa hotels to traditional log cabins. Everythin...
Spread across the Iisakkipää and Kaunispää fells, the ski area is modestly-sized, with 6 ski lifts taking you up to 15 slopes. The bus is quite regular and does drop-offs at the top of the slopes and the base. From the base, one chairlift takes you to the top of Kaunispää (the rest of the lifts are T bars). All pistes take you back to the same part of the valley, where you’ll find campfires and cafés to warm up and rebuild your energy stores. This isn’t a challenging ski area and the slopes would best...
With only 15 slopes, this isn’t meant to be a resort where the sole focus is skiing and there are tonnes of other activities to fill up the week. Snowmobiling, reindeer and husky safaris really are as fun as they look and all are a great way to enjoy the surroundings. For something a bit different, try your hand at ice fishing or follow one of the more well-trodden snowshoe route. Even better, 15 minutes away by road is Santa’s resort, Kakslauttanen for a once in a lifetime meeting with the man himself. Fro...
