Experiences for hikers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For lovers of hiking and trekking, the setting is breathtaking. In addition to theme tours suitable for day trips for the whole family, there are also routes for the most restless legs: The longest routes offer untouched nature and fell terrain for weeks at a time. And if you want to go a little faster on your trip, the numerous cycle routes in the area are a great way to get to know the most beautiful places in Saariselk\u00e4 on the back of a bike. The more demanding routes of Rautulampi and Luulampi are suitable for experienced hikers, but the Sivakkaoja and Moitakuru routes work nicely for beginners. You can find more information about cycling and hiking routes here.<\/a> The 546-meter Kiilop\u00e4\u00e4 and the 438-meter Kaunisp\u00e4\u00e4 are the absolute number one destinations for landscape hunters. The fells, which are among the most popular destinations in Saariselk\u00e4, can be reached with a short hike and the views reward the traveler with their breathtaking views. For those going on longer hikes to the heart of Urho Kekkonen National Park, there are plenty of shelters and places to rest. If you are looking to enjoy the breathtaking views, but you don\u2019t feel like climbing the fells on foot, you can also get to the top of Kaunisp\u00e4\u00e4 by car or taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the area’s attractions are not limited to natural creations. The Prospector mine, created at the beginning of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the history of Lapland’s gold rush. The wilderness, which has been inhabited for thousands of years, also boasts S\u00e1mi history and culture for those who dare to stop to see and experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the landscapes of the north, you can enjoy all the best things of wilderness nature. Picking berries, picking mushrooms and fishing in the fell forests on vacation is a heart-warming reminder of the value of pure and untouched nature. The wilderness also offers great diversity, as the area is home to numerous species of mammals, such as reindeer, moose and foxes. Bird watchers are attracted by the chance to spot a magnificent golden eagle, and large carnivores roaming the remote areas are rare but possible visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those who enjoy being on the water, there are great fishing opportunities and you can also go on canoe and paddling trips on your own or with a guide. Luiro-, Kopsusjoki and Nuorttijoki are suitable for paddling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can stay in the center of Saariselk\u00e4 village and enjoy Lapland’s iconic nightless night, the beautiful nature and all the services of Saariselk\u00e4. The service providers offer advice and guides for a perfect vacation. Equipment renters and welfare services make sure that every traveler’s needs are met – and all this in the heart of the Arctic wilderness, under the gentle gaze of the fells.

Up to 18 guests can be accommodated in the seven bedrooms of the 300 square meter Tunturip\u00f6ll\u00f6 cabin<\/a>. <\/a>No matter when you arrive – alone or with a group – you are always welcome to enjoy Saariselk\u00e4’s wonderful nature!
