Kittila Holidays

Tucked away in the heart of Finnish Lapland, Kittilä is the kind of place that feels like stepping inside a snow globe – crisp white landscapes, pine trees dusted with snow, and the occasional reindeer trotting past. As the gateway to Levi, Finland’s top ski resort, it’s a wonderland of Arctic adventure. From chasing the northern lights to cuddling up in a glass igloo, riding through snow-laden forests, or simply soaking in a private sauna, holidays to Kittilä are nothing short of magical. Whether you're travelling as a couple, a family, or an intrepid solo explorer, it’s the ultimate escape into the wild, wintry north.

When is the best time to visit?

The best time to visit Kittilä depends on the kind of magic you’re chasing. December to March is peak Lapland season – think deep snow, skiing, and festive sparkle, with February often offering a sweet spot of longer daylight and fewer crowds. For aurora hunters who’d rather skip the extreme cold, late September to November brings excellent northern lights viewing with cooler, milder nights. Prefer wildflowers over snowflakes? Summer in Kittilä, from June to August, reveals a peaceful side, with endless daylight thanks to the midnight sun, scenic hiking, and fishing under golden skies.

Where is the best place to stay?

If you’re heading to the slopes, Levi Ski Resort is the obvious choice – expect everything from chic hotels to cosy log cabins, with ski lifts just steps away. Families, groups, or snow-loving couples will love the ski-in, ski-out convenience. If you’d rather swap après-ski for authenticity, try Kittilä village, where you can mingle with locals and enjoy a quieter pace. For something unforgettable, go all in with a glass igloo or Aurora cabin – watching the northern lights swirl from under a warm duvet is a bucket-list moment worth every snowflake.
