Nestled in the heart of Saariselkä’s ski village, Kairapolanne Villa offers a luxurious and spacious retreat for up to 10 guests. Immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere, where cross-country skiers glide through snow-covered trails, snowmobiles zip past and chairlifts carry skiers up the fell in the distance.
Experience the magic of the Arctic with thrilling excursions, including husky sledding, reindeer encounters and snowmobiling adventures. Chase the enchanting Northern Lights and warm up by a crackling fire in a secluded forest camp. After an action-packed day, unwind in your private sauna or soak in the outdoor jacuzzi beneath the starry sky. End the evening curled up by the cosy fireplace and reflect about your exciting day with your friends and family.
