Skiing centers in Lapland
Skiing, downhill skiing and snowboarding are the things you musn't miss in Lapland. Well, the hills aren't as the Alps but comparing to those in southern Finland, you definitely prefer sports in Lapland! The snow is usually pure white, the temperature goes as down as minus 30 degrees but hey, that's the REAL Lapland atmosphere! The best skiing centers, according to me, are Levi and Ylläs. But they are just two among many others (Ruka, Pallas, Olos, Pyhä, Iso-Syöte...). If you don't have your own equipment, don't worry, 'cause probably in all of these skiing centers you can find a rental shop (in plain language you can rent snowboards, skiis for crosscountry or downhill skiing and all needed equipment), and an equipment service that mends, fixes, cleand and takes care of your equipment for pay.
