Families are well cared for in Saariselkä. On the slopes there's a Kidspark for children aged three to eight, open 9am to 3pm six days a week (not Sunday). Children's ski school operates for kids aged 4 to 14. Children aged seven and under ski free provided they wear a ski helmet (provided free of charge). Most of the terrain is family friendly and there's a special children's run. Indoor day care is available but is at an expensive hourly rate.
Families will enjoy many of the facilities, activities and excursions that can be enjoyed together, normally meaning a rewarding and bonding trip for all! Dog sledding, reindeer safaris, gold panning or a visit to the igloo village or to meet Santa in his secret home are all especially magical for children. The excellent swimming complex and unintimidating ski area are also first rate for families, accommodation is good and the food selection also first rate for families.
