Saariselkä

The far north made gentle: a small fell village at the gate of Urho Kekkonen National Park.

From Saariselkä the open fells begin at the village edge: ski tracks, hiking routes and the kind of silence you remember for years.

Saariselkä makes the far north feel gentle. Urho Kekkonen National Park begins at the edge of the village, and within minutes you are on rounded fells where the snow lies untouched and the horizon runs on and on. Families ski the tracks, walk up Kaunispää for the view and warm up over stories of the local gold-rush years. Everyday services stay within reach, and Ivalo Airport is only 25 kilometres away. A private villa here suits guests who want independent days outdoors and quiet evenings by the fire.
