Kilpisjärvi on the Northern Lights Route
Nestling on the shore of a crystal-clear lake, in the lap of the highest peaks of Finland and at the edge of the Scandinavian mountain range, the village of Kilpisjärvi offers breathtaking scenery.
Kilpisjärvi is tiny and peaceful, with around 130 hundred permanent residents. Only one road, named the Northern Lights Route, connects the village with the rest of the world.
Kick-sled tour in the village with a local guide
The lay of the land becomes familiar as you'll admire the scenery dominated by the magnificent Mt. Saana and the sharp-edged mountains at the far end of the lake where the three countries, Norway, Finland and Sweden, meet at the world's northernmost tripoint.
You'll hear about the local Sámi population and about reindeer herding, what the village people do for a living and of their everyday life in this remote corner of the country. Kilpisjärvi is a tiny place with a rich history and an abundance of stories.
The walking tour - weather allowing, kick-sleds will be used - includes a Finnish-style outdoor picnic around a camp fire.
