Just 90 miles from the Arctic Circle and close to the border of Syöte National Park and two excellent ski resorts, Iso-Syöte is Finland's southernmost fell and sees more snow in a year than anywhere else in the country. The Iso-Syöte Hotel offers a range of accommodation, from cosy log cabins to stunning suites – call us for upgrades – and a wide selection of winter excursions including snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling to husky and reindeer safaris. This tailor-made stay includes four nights comfortable hotel accommodation, and leaves plenty of time for optional activities.

Iso-Syöte
The next three days are left free for optional excursions. Perhaps learn how to drive your own dogsled team, take a snowshoe hike across the fell, try downhill skiing – something very few hotels in Finnish Lapland offer – or embark on an evening's snowmobile safari in search of the Northern Lights. The region is also well noted for its superb downhill skiing - a relative rarity in a land where cross-country is king. There are 17 slopes and 10 lifts to choose from, offering something for all abilities. Just be back in time for sundown; the area is famed for its gorgeous red sunsets and catching the spectacle is a wonderful way to round off days of Arctic adventure.
