Kilpisjärvi-Lapland
Welcome to Kilpisjärvi – Finland’s one and only fell village
Kilpisjärvi is located in Finland’s northwestern “arm”. The village’s 130 inhabitants live at the foot of the magnificent Saana fell. The village is right on the edge of the Scandinavian Mountains, 50 kilometres from the Arctic Ocean. In the area there is also the Three-Country Cairn, the point where the borders of Finland, Norway and Sweden meet. It is said to be the most peaceful border in the world.
Beautiful and rugged nature
In Kilpisjärvi you will experience the treeless Arctic tundra and endless amounts of snow. Our village is about 500 metres above sea level, and the Saana fell, which dominates the landscape, rises to over 1 000 metres. From here you can see far: stunning views stretch as far as the great fells of Sweden and Norway.
The weather in Kilpisjärvi varies a lot from year to year. In the surrounding fell highlands, weather conditions can change rapidly during the day. Lake Kilpisjärvi usually freezes in early November, and the ice melts shortly before Midsummer. By May Day, the sun is already so high that there is no dark moment even at midnight. Snow often covers the fells of Kilpisjärvi even in the middle of summer.
On our guided tours you can safely experience unique nature and breathtaking scenery.
