The ancient, untouched forest surrounds the soft shapes of Luosto, the smooth base that remains of the great mountain chains of the Ice Age. The mountain village of Luosto, built from pine snag, nestles beautifully at the foot of the hill and wishes the visitor welcome with the wide variety of experiences it has to offer.

Luosto is synonymous with quality. The heat from the fireplace in Luosto’s fully equipped pine snag cabins, or the welcoming luxury of the spa hotel after a day on the slopes, easily become great memories. The rich and original taste experiences in Luosto’s restaurants, from international cuisine to traditional Lappish food, are prepared with the best local ingredients and are sure to leave you longing for more. Luosto’s vivid nightlife gets extra panache from top artists on "Tähtiä tunturissa" performance nights.

Luosto’s cross-country skiing routes are valued by laymen and professionals alike for their profiles, technical conditions, and landscapes. Luosto’s well-managed slopes complement the cross-country skiing experience, and are particularly popular among snowboarders. A versatile network of walking trails in the fairytale forest of Luosto will bring the wanderer face to face with Lapland’s nature in all its glory. There are special nature sights along the hiking and skiing trails, as well as an amethyst mine managed on the principles of sustainable development. Luosto is the place for a multiple activity holiday, a meeting, having fun, or just relaxing, in winter as well as summer.

Luosto simultaneously offers its guests quality services and the peace of the wilderness, lively socializing with friends and the opportunity to withdraw, active participation and quietness, the framework even for large meetings and related relaxation, old stories and new experiences.

TRANSPORTATION TO THE FELL AND IN THE FELL REGION
In addition to the SkiBus that services the area, there are also 5 taxi firms that take care of transportation to the fell as well as local transportation in Luosto. Using the SkiBus, you can reach the neighbouring Pyhä fell in just twenty minutes and Rovaniemi in about one and a half hours.

HIRED EQUIPMENT FOR THE WHOLE HOLIDAY
It’s worth considering leaving your own skiing equipment at home as Luosto has an excellent selection of skiing equipment at the ski hire shop.

LUOSTO HOSPITALITY
The Luosto fell village has three shops/souvenir shops, of which the K-Extra Tupasvilla shop offers postal services, pharmacy, fuel and an ordering service for alcoholic beverages. In addition, the region also has ten activity programme companies ensuring you have plenty to do on your holiday.

TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING
Luosto has a number of companies specializing in maintenance and cleaning that will take care of clearing snow, cleaning, waste management, and numerous other tasks that should not be done on your holiday.
