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.
