Access
Return air transport from Paris only is included in the price of your stay.
Flight times and departure airport will be communicated to participants during the fall of 2026.
Nevertheless, flight plans are similar from year to year:
On the outbound journey, the flight usually takes off from Paris quite early in the morning, or even very early.
On the return flight, it usually lands in Paris in the afternoon, or even in the early evening.
If you live outside of Paris or abroad (or even in the Paris suburbs but far from the airport), you will almost certainly need to book a hotel room in Paris the night before your departure . Ideally, you should choose a room near the airport.
On your return, if you live nearby, you might be able to get back to your home region the same day. However, if you need to book a train or another flight, we strongly recommend allowing plenty of time between the two connections and avoiding non-modifiable and non-refundable tickets . Even though flights are generally punctual, delays beyond our control can still occur.
Approximately two weeks before departure, you will receive an airport summons.
This document must be presented when checking in luggage, along with your valid identity document (passport or national identity card).
Go to the starting point
The flight time to reach Kittilä Airport in Finnish Lapland is only 3 hours 30 minutes.
Upon your arrival at Kittilä airport, you will be greeted by our local French-speaking representative.
