The Ounasvaara Ski Center is simply amazing
You must go skiing in Finland in winter. Finland is really beautiful, the snow is very clean and soft, it's just like a fairy tale world!!! Near Christmas, you can also visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi~
The overall cost of the Ounasvaara ski resort is very cheap, with a full set of ski equipment for 3 hours only costing 28 euros. The ticket price for the beginner area for 3 hours is 13 euros, but the slopes in this area are too small and short. If you are confident in your skills, you can directly go to the advanced track. I was too bored in the beginner area, so I bought an additional hour on the advanced track for 18 euros. It was my first time skiing on a mountain trail, and it was so much fun! You can also enjoy the beautiful snow scenery on the way up the mountain by cable car. Because the sunset time is early, the sky always presents a dreamy pink-purple hue.
I skied on tracks 6, 8, and 9. The level of track 6 is easy, and 8 and 9 are directly rushing down from the top of the mountain, which is really steep, but the feeling of adrenaline rush is wonderful. Although Rovaniemi is close to -20 degrees, you don't feel cold when you are constantly moving and when the sun is out. However, you can feel the temperature drop when the sun sets around three or four o'clock. After having enough fun, I was satisfied and went back~

Rovaniemi Ounasvaara Ski Center
Of course, you have to check in at the natural snow field when you go to Northern Europe! We went to the largest snow field in Rovaniemi, Finland, the Ounasvaara Ski Center. We drove there because we rented a car at the time~ You can also call a taxi to go there.

🎈Procedure: Get off the car in the parking lot of the snow field, find the small house in picture 3 and go in, rent snow clothes and snow gear, and pay in this small house. Find the machine in picture 4 to fill in the English information, then turn around to the staff to report the filled name and you can pay~
🎈The price list can be found by searching the name of the snow field. I also took a picture of the price list in picture 8. The full snow track is about 3 hours 35.5 euros + the money for the key card is about 40+ euros~
The beginner's snow track is 13 euros, and you don't need the money for the key card. Ordinary snow gear includes shoes and snowboards. I'm a bit confused about whether or not I charged for it. The price impression will not exceed about 20 euros. Helmets and snow suits cost extra. I bought a three-hour beginner's snow track and added a full snow track for the last hour. I rented the snow gear there. The total price was 57 euros. If you are a beginner, I recommend the beginner's snow track (after entering, I found that the beginner's snow track is all children. The children here in Northern Europe are jumping and sliding on the advanced snow track. It's really amazing)

A must-visit ski resort in Finland
This winter I went skiing at the Ounasvaara Ski Center in Rovaniemi, Finland. After arriving, I first filled in the information in English on the indoor machine, then turned to the staff to report the filled name and then I could pay. The admission ticket is 45 euros/day, and the equipment rental fee is 23 euros/person. You can also choose an hourly admission ticket, but the difference between a 3-hour admission ticket and a 1-day admission ticket is only a few euros.
You need to prepare your own clothes, and skiing equipment can be rented on site for 23 euros (including ski poles, ski boots, skis, and helmets). Ski goggles are also available for sale at 60 euros/pair, and lockers for storing items are rented at 5 euros each.
Beginners can go to the beginner's ski field, which has a gentle slope. If you're tired, you can also play with snow tubes next to the ski trail. On the other side, there is also a professional full ski trail, which is very high and exciting. A friend went to experience it and came back to show me that the speed of sliding down was almost 100 yards. Pay attention to safety and experience as needed! If you're not particularly good at skiing, don't go up and suffer, you'll come down crying! (The local children are really born for snow, they all feel like flying)
