inari & saariselkÄ Finland’S larGeSt municipality Inari in Northern Finnish Lapland is an important focal point for reindeer herding, fishing, crafts and tourism services. The village of Inari is the centre of the Sámi culture and lies beside the river Juutuanjoki on the shores of the vast lake Inarijärvi.

Saariselkä Resort is located in the Municipality of Inari. It is a compact village surrounded by fell highlands and the Urho Kekkonen National Park. Everything from the ski centre to nature trails, spa, hotels and restaurants are all within a walking distance. Thanks to good travel connections, other unique destinations of Northern Lapland are also within easy reach.

ing and other exciting activities in summer. In winter, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, dogsled rides, snowmobiling and other activities on the white expanses of glittering snow provide the best possible entertainment. Whether you come in summer or winter, you are sure to discover new experiences. Our tourism region welcomes you with all its opportunities – the far north is yours!

CHanging oF tHe seasons T  of Northern Lapland lives to the rhythm of the seasons, and the changing of the seasons is more distinct than anywhere else. In November following the arrival of snow, twilight falls upon the region covering the landscape in a blue tint that lasts a couple of months. The Northern Lights can be spotted in the wintertime

night skies when the temperature is below freezing. In the springtime, the glistening snowscapes appear with the sunshine which continues to shine day and night during the summer months. Autumn vibrantly colours the nature for hikers to enjoy.

Polar twiligHt I  , Lapland welcomes the twilight period; a time when the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon at all during the day. This phenomenon, also known as the polar night, can last up to 51 days in the northernmost regions of Lapland. The darkness is, however, brightened by the snow cover, moon and flaming Northern Lights.

Although the sun does not rise, the twilight time provides a beautiful shade for around four hours a day. In addition to the reflection of snow, the Northern Lights also brighten the night. The twilight gives the Lappish winter its own magical qualities. What could possibly be better than travelling in the fell highlands and enjoying the heavens coloured by the Northern Lights.

PLENTY OF

things to do tHe tHrill oF snowY sPeeD T   to experience the spectacular passing snow scapes is by sitting in a sleigh pulled by cute huskies. Riding a team of dogs through the fell regions is an experience which gives plenty of memories to take home. On a guided husky safari, a first-timer can safely enjoy the magic of the fells, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

tranQUilitY witH reinDeer

Faster way to approach the glistening snow scapes is to try snowmobiling! There are 1000 km of snowmobile tracks and routes in Northern Lapland. Local enterprises hire out snowmobiles and arrange guided safaris, allowing you to learn driving safely.

Let the inner child in you loose and head to Finland’s most thrilling toboggan run. There’s plenty of time to enjoy speeding down the hill from the summit of Kaunispää, as the distance to the bottom in the centre of the Saariselkä resort is 1.2 kilometres. You can reach the Kaunispää summit either on foot or by car along the road. Try speeding around on snow and ice, quick breaking and tight bends in Saariselkä´s Action Park. Become enthralled by winter driving, as well as snow and ice karting on a safe track, with the help of a professional guide. There are a number of winter driving alternatives to choose from, providing exciting activities for the whole family, as well as being a great team spirit building experience for company groups.

iF YoU Feel like taking a closer look at the Lappish culture visit a local reindeer farm. On a short reindeer sleigh ride, you can experience the thrill of speed pulled by a trained reindeer. A reindeer safari taking a few hours allows you to experience the wilderness of Lapland and the magical tranquility of the fells. Sooty pot coﬀee brewed over a campfire perfectly rounds oﬀ the experience.

aCtivities UnDer tHe miDnigHt sUn P   and head for the diverse hiking routes of Northern Lapland. There are plenty of alternatives from smaller walks to challenging hikes. The routes are well-marked leaving you to concentrate on relaxation. You can also travel the fell regions on a bike. There are lots of routes to choose from, ranging from difficult rocky trails to easy forest roads. We provide bikes to hire and give good advice for selecting the best route. A peaceful canoeing trip on a calm lake, or shooting the rushing rapids at the mercy of the whitewater – our varying waterways beckon you to step onboard. The best waters for

canoeing can be found on Lake Inarijärvi or River Ivalojoki. Whilst on water you can explore our fishing opportunities. The activity companies in the region arrange guided fishing trips.

glistening golD in minD The first gold rush began on the Ivalojoki River in 1869. The Tankavaara gold area was discovered in 1936 and a decade later the Lemmenjoki River. In these areas, you can still be able to experience gold panning with the right equipment and learn about it’s history. In addition you will need to have a bit of a treasure hunter attitude – it could be you who finds the next big nugget of gold.

skiing aCross tHe Fells the SkiinG SeaSon in Northern Lapland normally lasts from October to May. Within the Saariselkä area alone, there are 200 km of cross-country skiing tracks, 34 km of which are lit. The well-groomed skiing tracks start from outside your hotel door, taking you on a scenic route from one fell to the other occasionally entering the depths of the forest.

Experience the thrill of downhill skiing and snowboarding in Finland’s northernmost ski centre. Having two fells, Saariselkä provides ski slope lovers with a total of 15 slopes of varying diﬃculty, a Freestyle Park for snowboarders and five ski lifts. While enjoying the slopes, you can fuel up with energy in one of the slope restaurants, not forgetting the after ski party following your day on the slopes.

Living history A C U LT U R A L H E R I TA G E oUr toUgH nortHern roots N L’ traditional Lappish and Sámi culture will surround you with fascinating stories. History is a living area of the present day. Your story is richer when you draw the Arctic reality and local traditions, which are intertwined in an unforgettable way. Celebrate with pride our common cultural heritage and its tough, northern roots.

inDigenoUs sÁmi’s Lapland’s cultural heritage gets its strength from the history and modern day of its indigenous peoples living in the Arctic conditions. The Sámi are Lapland’s, and indeed the European Union’s

only remaining indigenous peoples, who have lived in Lapland already before the national borders were established. There are around 8700 Sámi living in Finland speaking three languages (Northern Sámi, Inari Sámi or Skolt Sámi) and each have their own national costume. The traditional Sámi livelihoods are very much linked with nature. Reindeer husbandry holds principle economic significance for the Sámi, although fishing, hunting and handicrafts are also important livelihoods. The Sámi Cultural Centre Sajos completed in january 2012 will be the centre for administration and culture of the Sámi in Finland.
