Weather at Saariselkä

Weather at Saariselkä: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.

What the weather at Saariselkä is usually like

The ski area runs from 267 to 437 m above sea level - a 170 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -8 °C at the base and -9 °C at the summit. Plan for that 1 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. The summit sits around -9 °C at the same time of year - at that point the wind matters more than the thermometer.

Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March.

The season usually runs from 21 November to 2 May.

By April the base is around 2 °C while the summit still holds 1 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
