Home to over 10,000 reindeer, the Salla region is an unspoilt wilderness of frozen rivers, lakes and fells close to the Russian border and the ski resort of Salla is the perfect place to experience this unbroken piece of northern nature. The ski hill and accommodation are close to one another and there is a good variety of slopes to ski on and plenty of cross-country trails. The views are amazing and there is a great choice of winter activities for all the family. You will also have a free reindeer feeding trip which takes about an hour and involves a snowmobile sledge ride (3km) with information and feeding of the reindeer.
