There are 15 slopes, 7 of which are illuminated. Longest slope is 1300 m. Elevation is up to 180 m. 5 ski lifts will take you to the top of two fells: Iisakkipää and Kaunispää. Lift capacity is 6 500 persons/ hour. One of them is a long chair lift.
Ski Saariselkä’s Freestyle Park challenges all skill levels of skiers with the 1,200 m street. Freestyle Park is located on the Riekko slope of Kaunispää.
Kids under the age of 7 years wearing a helmet are admitted free of charge. When the little enjoy themselves, the parents
have a good time too. Children's own slope, professional and reliable ski instructors, Snow Park, sled hill and open fireplace in the nature make the family skiing holiday memorable and exiting.
Children's Snow Park, which is located right next to the Ski Bar, offers happening for children for a whole day. Good location near the services makes it easier to take care of the smallest. On the high season there is also a babysitter available which offers the parents a chance to ski on their own for a while.
Ski Slope rules:
- Make sure your equipment is adjusted to your size, weight and ability. Use of a helmet is recommended.
- Respect the lift line and prepare to share the lift with fellow skiers. Get off the lift only at designated areas.
- Select the slope and adapt your speed according to your skills and the environment. Always familiarize yourself with special areas in advance.
- Keep your distance when you pass the skiers below and ahead of you. Pay additional attention to small children.
- Stop only at places where you can be easily seen. If you need to go uphill, always do it along the edge of the slope.
- Do not ski too fast. Pay attention to local slope and snow conditions.
- Sledging is only allowed in separately designated areas.
- You always ski at your own risk.
- Using the slopes under the influence of alcohol/drugs is prohibited.
- In the event of accidents, your duty is to assist. Report any accidents immediately to ski area staff.
Always respect the signs at the ski centre and follow the instructions of the staff.
The staff is authorized to take away the skipass from anyone who ignores the slope rules.
