When you have decided that a Skiing Holiday in Lapland is the Lapland Winter Holiday for you, try our resort of Luosto. We offer good Cross country skiing tracks, downhill skiing and snowboarding holidays in the Lapland winter ski resort of Luosto and our ski school offers downhill skiing, cross country skiing and snowboarding tuition.

Being above the Arctic Circle almost guarantees Luosto perfect snow conditions from November to May. Many of our guests, even those who have skied the world over many years, have commented that they ‘have never seen snow like it’ It is soft, white, powder snow that is usually difficult to make a snowball with because it is so fluffy and dry.
Although the winter days are short the floodlit slopes and cross-country trails will ensure a full day of skiing and by March Luosto has more hours of daylight than London, Madrid or Zurich.
Are you wishing to try a skiing holiday for the first time and feeling perhaps nervous or intimidated by the commercialism and hustle and bustle of  ‘international’ resorts? You will find Luosto an undiscovered treasure with its wide tree lined runs, uncrowded slopes and lifts where queues are almost unheard of.

 Lapland skiing holidays in Luosto are a great opportunity to go downhill skiing, cross country skiing or snowboarding.

Lapland the ultimate winter holiday destination

Skiing Holidays in the resort of Luosto

Beginners:
First time skiers will be spoilt in Luosto, the deep soft snow, gentle runs, friendly and caring instructors who speak excellent English, small classes and low prices are the perfect combination to make your introduction to skiing easy and fun. Very importantly though, when you are tired or if you discover skiing is not for you there are many other wonderful and unique winter activities to try. A far greater range than you are likely to find in most locations.

Intermediates:
Those wishing to progress from snowploughs or to practice and perfect their parallel turns will also appreciate the relaxed atmosphere of skiing in Luosto.Back to top

Advanced:
We do have a rather demanding black run in Luosto to warm up the advanced skier (not usually open before 11th February), however after a few days you may find that you would enjoy the more challenging runs found in Pyhä, reached easily in 20 minutes by ski bus (Pyhä lift passes can be purchased locally for approximately E35 per day). Or, perhaps you would like to take this opportunity to try snowboarding or the many other activities on offer.Back to top

Private lessons:
Of 2 hours duration either at 12.30 or 15.00 on any day. Order on our Enquiry Form.Back to top

Snowboarders:
Again, beginners will be delighted with the easy pace of learning in Luosto. Once progressed, or for intermediate boarders, there is a dedicated street with natural pipe, several jumps and slide bars towards the base of the slopes.Back to top

Cross Country:
As the Scandinavians are avid cross country skiers there are excellent marked and well maintained cross country tracks, the circuit of over 80kms (25kms being floodlit) is rated amongst the best in the country. Whether trying cross country skiing for the first time, practicing skills already learnt or if you are a confident, advanced enthusiast you will have many tracks to choose from offering beautiful landscapes and views and linking cafes and huts where you can stop for a warm drink.Back to top
