Saariselkä events
Saariselkä Ski & Sport Resort organizes several events on and off the ski slopes, for visitors of different skiing or snowboarding skill levels and ages, throughout the year. Some of the most well-known, already traditional, events include the Kaamosjazz festival in November, Santa Ski Day on Christmas Day, FIS Snow Day in January, Retro Ski Day on Easter, and Tobogganing World Championships on May Day. We also organize smaller weekly events such as slalom and ski cross races, park sessions, special tours, and technique clinics during the peak season weeks.
