Santa's Kuukkeli Log Cabins Summary

Embrace the warmth of a traditional Lappish log cabin in the heart of Saariselkä. Snuggle by the fire after days filled with snowy adventures, husky sleigh rides, and snowmobiling. Choose from three cosy cabin sizes in two charming buildings, Hirvas and Teerenpesa, each crafted in the traditional Lappish round-log style.

Both the Hirvas and Teerenpesa buildings are in the centre of Saariselkä and around a 5 minute walk to Santa's Holiday Club, which is where you will have both breakfast and buffet dinner. The Festive Dinner will be held in Santa’s Hotel Tunturi, which is another short walk from the cabins, on the last evening of your holiday.

Europe’s northernmost ski resort, Saariselkä is 250km up from the Arctic Circle, not far from the Russian border. One of the main resorts in Lapland – the legendary home of Father Christmas – it has snow-sure skiing, a Christmas-card-esque village and heaps of festive activities all in one place. The village itself is surrounded by forest and full of winter wonderland charm, with its own little chapel, some shops and restaurants and accommodation ranging from spa hotels to traditional log cabins. Everythin...
Spread across the Iisakkipää and Kaunispää fells, the ski area is modestly-sized, with 6 ski lifts taking you up to 15 slopes. The bus is quite regular and does drop-offs at the top of the slopes and the base. From the base, one chairlift takes you to the top of Kaunispää (the rest of the lifts are T bars). All pistes take you back to the same part of the valley, where you’ll find campfires and cafés to warm up and rebuild your energy stores. This isn’t a challenging ski area and the slopes would best...

Even better, 15 minutes away by road is Santa’s resort, Kakslauttanen for a once in a lifetime meeting with the man himself. Fro...
