Affordable Destinations in Rovaniemi - Holiday in Finland
Rovaniemi has much to offer. You can enjoy the best feature the nature has to offer in Lapland, ie northern lights, from autumn to spring and admiring them costs nothing
Kilpisjärvi is in the municipality of Enontekiö, just off the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian borders. The landscape is dominated by Saana, a sacred mountain of the Sámi people. Saana rises 1,029 metres above sea level, making it one of Finland’s highest peaks. We recommend booking a couple of hours and packing enough water before starting the climb. The reward for getting to the top? Landscapes that will impress even the most urbanized city dweller. The pristine and age-old landscape that continues to the horizon reminds us of the unique quality of Finland’s nature.
The Saana hike starts at Kilpisjärvi visitor centre, which many choose for accommodation on their trip to Kilpisjärvi. Accommodation is available in well-equipped cottages or in the small but clean rooms of the accommodation building.
In winter, you can combine a trip to Kilpisjärvi with a husky ride or snowmobiling, if you prefer a fast way to explore the wilderness. For truly the brave, there is another classic Finnish winter activity available on the shores of Lake Kilpisjärvi – ice swimming in the chilly water.
All things considered, Kilpisjärvi is a true dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The most convenient way to reach Kilpisjärvi is to hop on the next Onnibus, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Book your tickets and plan a memorable trip to Lapland, where there's plenty to do all year round.
