Your career starts from here


The Northernmost ski resort in Europe, Saariselkä Ski & Sport Resort is a multinational ski resort ran by a local skier family. The slopes are located on two opposite fells, and the view from both tops open up to the second largest National Park in Finland that surround the ski resort.

Winter season begins in the end of November and lasts until beginning of May, which makes Saariselkä a great home for anyone passionate about outdoors and winter sport. Saariselkä is known for versatile outdoor sports offered by the nature, and there is about 200 kilometres of cross-country skiing tracks and high-quality winter biking trails. 

Saariselkä is a compact and relaxed tourism village that gets international visitors from all around the world especially during winter time. Development of summer tourism is also an important goal for the company and the area.

You won't find wild apres ski from Saariselkä, instead you will find the nature from your backyard and huge amount of outdoor sport possibilities.

The winter in Lapland is magical. In the coldest time of winter we have polar night, but once the spring gets closer the sky offers a big range of light phenomena. And don't forget the northern lights. In the summer we enjoy the midnight sun.
