On the spur of the moment (can't believe I've just done this!!) I've booked a 4 day trip to the Holiday Club at Saariskala leaving this Sunday.



It says that thermal clothes and boots are included but my question is - what else do I have to take? I have done absolutely no forward planning into this whatsoever so haven't got a clue. All help gratefully received!!



PS I haven't even got the kids passports ...

As I am on the large side I have bought my own ski wear for our day trip next week. For those of you who have been - did anyone else do this and was it ok?

Who is thinking of booking up for next year?

Just returned from the 4 day Santa trip with Inghams. 12 of us went in the group and we all stayed in the Yllas Log Cabins which were wonderful. The trip was excellent and very very good value. We flew from Gatwick on Wednesday and returned Sunday yesterday .Inghams were very well organised, however the only complaint would be that they could have had more staff available to book the trips at the meeting on ...

someone mentioned in a post that its a good idea to hire your own snowmobile. Does anyone know where to do that and how much.If you do this option, do you then miss out on the husky ride and the reindeer pulling a sled along?

So what is this place really like? the pictures look great and it is classed as 4 * but has anybody been?

We are travelling there in march



Many thanks
