About skiing in Ounasvaara
Ounasvaara is close to Rovaniemi city and works well for shorter ski sessions combined with a Lapland city stay. The downhill base, hilltop accommodation and Nordic trail access are different arrival points. Choose the lift base for lessons rather than a generic hilltop map marker.
