End of Season
The ski season is coming to an end at Finse as well. Although the snow will probably lie in the mountains for many weeks to come, the week of 17 May is one of the last weeks with good skiing conditions, and the last opening weekend at Finsehytta. Use this long weekend to end the season in the best possible way and celebrate the national day with unforgettable experiences in the mountains!
