Luosto does not have the hustle and bustle of large resorts, so you can ski peacefully on compact and clear slopes. For the youngest skiers and beginners, the resort has a separate family slope, where you can practice safely before the bigger hills. <strong><em>Santa\u2019s Hotel Aurora<\/em><\/strong> is located right next to the ski resort, and it only takes minutes to walk from the hotel door to the ski lifts. After a day of skiing you might want to warm up in the sauna, and luckily each hotel room in Aurora has one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"247\" src=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Tykkylumimaisemia tunturissa Luostolla\" class=\"wp-image-247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Luosto-scenery-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"172109\" src=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Auroran Superior-huoneen makuuhuone\" class=\"wp-image-172109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/santashotelsluosto-001-45-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\u00c4iti ja lapsi makaamassa lasi-iglun s\u00e4ngyll\u00e4\" class=\"wp-image-257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/santashotels.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Santas-Hotel-Aurora-Igloos-20-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kalajoki &amp; Santa\u2019s Resort &amp; Spa Hotel Sani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Sani, a water lover spends their dream vacation!
