Saariselka —
Saariselkä is located in the Far North of Finnish Lapland, so is particularly suitable for the sighting of the Northern Lights - a natural phenomenon that often occurs at these latitudes. It's also a prime gateway to the Urho Kekkonen National Park and is surrounded by amazing snow-covered scenery, drawing visitors from across the globe.
Saariselkä is an authentic area where nearly 200 Sami herders live. Snow generally arrives around the end of November here, making it the best time to visit the area. From the top of the mountain overlooking the resort, on clear days, you can see all of Lapland up to the border with Norway in the north and with Russia in the East: a breathtaking view of endless snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, wide plains and sublime mountains.
