Of all the fell resorts in Finish Lapland, Saariselkä has the most loyal friends, who return
time and time again just as overjoyed at the reunion. There is good reason for this loyalty:
Saariselkä combines the services of a bustling event venue and the untouched, spectacu-
lar fell nature – providing space for relaxation and revitalisation to prepare for returning
to ordinary life. This is exactly what the locals mean when they say that Saariselkä is a
heavenly place. A myriad of fells, trails, ravines and streams are full of happy, private
memories of moments when a holiday really felt like a holiday.
We at North Village have compiled this brochure for you. We believe it will be useful and
provide joy, whether you are an old friend or a new and curious traveller. Take a seat
and read on. We will reveal why Saariselkä is worth experiencing, a place in peace of mind
landscapes.
Choose your own time and place in Saariselkä. Leave the rest to us.

Where in the world?Saariselkä is located in Finnish Lapland, right by the
national park named after ex-President Urho Kekkonen
and close to the Russian border. The characteristic fea-
tures of the region include rugged and picturesque
open fell highland landscapes, bustling indigenous
Sámi culture and the gold digging traditions.
Saariselkä is a distinct year-round, cosmopolitan tour-
ist resort, that is renowned for its well maintained and
partly illuminated cross-country skiing and route net-
work. Saariselkä is also a popular starting point for lon-
ger hikes, even as far as the northern Norwegian Arctic
Ocean. The diverse nature provides you the opportunity
to explore various flora zones from old pine forests to
treeless fell summits.
On the next few pages, we will tell you how Saariselkä
changes to the rhythm of the seasons and give you some
hints of various activities, from which you can choose
what interests you most for your trip. When is it your
time to visit Saariselkä?

Saariselkä is traditionally a popular destination for
ruska trips. Come alone, with friend or larger group
and dive into the colourful array of the autumnal fell
landscape. Enjoy clear, bright days in nature on well
marked trails to return as the evening sets in to relax
and enjoy more recreation with fun evening activity.
The long and sensually stimulating autumnal ruska pe-
riod is the best time to conquer Saariselkä on a hike or
bike, or perhaps by enhancing performance with some
Nordic walking. In the Urho Kekkonen National Park,
the hiker will not only be able to witness untouched na-
ture, but also remains of the ancient and still currently
characteristic reindeer husbandry and hunting cul-
ture of the region, with deer pit traps, cabins and Skolt
Sámi settlement lands.

In the winter months, Saariselkä is full of dusky, magi-
cal ambiance, making it a good place to hold great
twilight parties. The Christmas party season marks
the start of the series of bright spots, that continues
with the celebration of Christmas and New Year, to
come to an end when the springtime sunshine starts to
brighten the fell slopes. The northern nature plays its
own part in brightening up the twilight with spectacu-
lar Northern Lights and sharply drawn starry skies.
Come as a group to savour the heart of winter in Saa-
riselkä. The urban winter and greyness seem so far
away whilst pampered with abundant buffet servings,
joint excursions and tranquillity provided by nature.
Think how you can escape the everyday routines by ski-
ing along the pure white snowscapes of the fell slopes
with the moonlight as your guide. Some bright spots
last forever.

Springtime Saariselkä has everything: people, snows-
capes, sunshine and an endless range of activities to-
gether with a large group, or in your own peace and quiet.
The uniqueness of Saariselkä is especially easy to see in
the springtime. Whenever you wish, the services and bus-
tle of the large fell resort can change into the tranquillity
of the untouched wilderness without the need for arduous,
time consuming transfers from one place to the next.
When the lovers of Saariselkä gather as they are attracted
by the brightness, there is fun to be had almost round the
clock. The opportunities for spending an active and sporty
holiday are limitless. Cross-country skiing trails, down-
hill skiing slopes, reindeer and husky safaris, as well
as a wide range of exploration trips await the springtime
awakened, joyful adventurers.

and happiness in summertime SaariselkäNuggets of gold
Summer in Saariselkä is a golden time in many respects.
The sunshine caresses the landscapes throughout the
day and night, sometimes without even setting at all,
and colours your visit in unforgettable, gentle golden
shades. June is highlighted by Midsummer, that among
the nature and authentic indigenous Sámi of the region
provides an unusually magical experience.
Saariselkä – in the same way as the Sun – doesn’t sleep
in the summer, as it is full of guided and independent
activity. You can participate in our excursions to a
Sámi village, reindeer farm, and gold panning, as well
as exploring the fell countryside on a hike or a bike, in
a group or independently.

North Villagetakes you beyond the ordinary
Snowmobile Adventure in the Wilderness
Driving on IceGreetings, briefing, meeting the instructors – and off we go! First exer-
cise: acceleration on ice. No problem. No problem? The wheels of your
car spin like mad, but otherwise nothing happens. Putting your foot
down does not always guarantee the best start! After that, attempts at
braking and avoiding obstacles on the ice are performed. So easy when
the instructor shows you how. Now it’s your turn – bang, parts of the
foam rubber wall fly through the air. But a few more attempts, and you
too manage to successfully complete this exercise. Now is time for the
race against the clock on an icy circular track. Your colleague did it
in only 22.1 seconds! Naturally, you are better than him – if only the
spikes were slightly longer and sharper. It’s a good thing there are soft
snow walls everywhere! Or what about an introduction to rally driv-
ing? With a real rally car (with long rally spikes on the tyres!)? And
with one of the many famous Finnish high-class rally drivers as your
instructor? Try it - it’s fun, it’s adventure, it’s excitement!
Norht Village provides incentive trips, brainstorms and
implements customised solutions for the requirements of groups
of any size throughout Lapland. As a local DMC office, we know the
region and its possibilities – which are almost limitless.
Take a look at the example entireties below and think how happy
your important friends or business partners would feel to be given
the opportunity to join the adventure. We believe you will make
precisely the impression you are after and perhaps a bit more as well.
Speed across the snowscapes on snowmobiles, test your wilderness skills and savour lunch in the heart
of the Arctic nature! Your group will be taken into the heart of untouched Lapland, with landscapes
beyond compare: on a fine day, you may even be able to see the fell highlands beyond the Russian bor-
der that are located up to 30 kilometres away. You travel through changing landscapes from treeless
felltops to wooded valleys, on top of frozen rivers and lakes. The six-hour safari includes coffee breaks
and a lunch, which is served in a forest cabin on the shores of a frozen lake. During the same trip, you
can also try some ice fishing, making a campfire, or snowshoe hiking in deep snow.

Saariselkä nature doesn’t encourage you to spend time
indoors, but every holiday needs a place for you to rest,
one that is functional and flexible for your requirements.
A quality basic cabin has everything you need, but noth-
ing unnecessary: you’ll sleep well, meals are made easily,
clothes are dried, and the percolator brews you coffee to
savour. After a breathtaking day of nature activity, what
could be better than lifting your feet up and listening to
the sound of silence.
The one and two cloudberry cabins of North Village are
tidy and include everything you could want for simple
cabin living. Most important of all, most accommodation
spots are situated close to excursion routes, ski slopes
or other services in Saariselkä – you can head for nature
right from the doorstep of your holiday cabin.

Please ask us for more
information:
In Inari and Northern Lapland, the landscape holds
a history of life and culture without any large visible
or spectacular monuments. The traces left by humans
have blended into the environment and have never
formed big obstacles for the natural course of nature.
People have themselves lived to the rhythm of nature
in summer and winter grounds, yet respecting nature,
from which they have received their livelihood.
Despite their natural way of living, the peoples of the
north have not lived in isolation from the rest of the
world. Their living environment has been crisscrossed
with route of travel and trade, and these have been
used by tradespeople, clergymen, civil servants and
explorers alike.
Today’s visitors explore northern culture in a differ-
ent way: in constructed sites, exhibitions and events,
guided excursions and tours. The course of the year
has a large variety of excellent choices for cultural
tourists. These are events to which the locals also come
to meet one another and to enjoy the performances. At
the same time, tourists have the opportunity to get to
know the locals and the various sides of culture.
The cultural year begins in January with Skabmagov-
illa – the indigenous film festival in Inari. During the
winter, the Reindeer Cup ends with the Inari Reindeer
Championship Race in late March. The Annunciation
and Easter are festive times for early spring, with a
whole range of traditional events all over Northern
Lapland. The Ijahis Idjaevent arranged in mid-August
is a showcase of Sámi music and northern ethnomusic,
with the great venue of the soon completed Sajos Sámi
Culture Centre Auditorium. November sees a gather-
ing of nature photographers and nature enthusiasts in
the Camera Borealis Sàmi Museum and the Northern
Lapland Nature Centre premises. Kaamos Jazz, on the
other hand, sees concert venues from Tankavaara to
Saariselkä fill with Jazz lovers.
The cultural folk come from
all over to swing to these
events – from north and
south, east and west.
Irja Jefremoff
Beyond the fell highlands of Saariselkä, close to the Arc-
tic Ocean, is the enormous Lake Inarinjärvi, Finland’s
northernmost lake. The rugged shoreline runs around
rocky hills for around three thousand kilometres.
In addition to its northern location, Lake Inarinjärvi
differs from Finland’s other great lakes due to its
wilderness qualities. There is no permanent housing
on any of the islands. Nellim is a natural departure
dock for many who are travelling to the eastern side
of the lake. Boat docks and boat launching spots can
also be found in Nanguniemi, Veskoniemi, Inari parish
village, and Kotalahti in Partakko. A number of ice
fishers take the route via Nitsijärvi.
Right through to the present day, Lake Inarinjärvi
has remained an Eldorado for hikers and people who
gather food from nature. Metsähallitus manages the
region and has built boating support points and jetties
for the most popular camping places. Metsähallitus
also services and maintains the wilderness cabins
around the lake. Using these measures, the intention
is to concentrate the travel of tourists and to save the
beautiful, rugged, yet very vulnerable nature.
For people who value peace and quiet, Lake Inarinjärvi
is a place visited again and again. It is a place where
the fast pace of modern, everyday life does not reach.
It is a place where you can experience the nature of the
wilderness at its best – rugged, yet handsome. It is a
place where hikers can begin to understand how small
they really are in the huge cycle of nature.

The spaciousness of the cabin, handy location and good
standard of facilities are important when there are holi-
daymakers of different ages with different needs. Holi-
daymaking is carefree and peaceful when everyone has
their own space and time to do their own thing in addi-
tion to enjoying holiday time together.
When holidaying with the family, the accommodation
doesn’t need to have all the home comforts, but most of
them. In this way, there is no waste of time and energy,
as the basic tasks are easily handled on the side with-
out any hassle. The main thing is that everyone has the
equal chance to relaxation and recreation – it is a holiday
after all!

Today’s excursion areas in the Saariselkä resort used
to be Skolt Sámi hunting grounds and Inari Sámi
reindeer husbandry land. The people of Inari herded
their reindeer to the ancient borders of Inari and
Sompio, to the Kiilopää, Giloaivi reindeer separation
enclosure.
Lapland’s numerous gold rivers were known by the
Sámi families and reindeer villages well before the
gold rush of the nineteenth century. The gold was
also gathered by the Sámi due to their excellent
knowledge of the terrain and nature. Who wouldn’t
be interested in picking up some precious metals
from nature? Gold nuggets were collected and exca-
vated from their own claims mainly for trading in
Ruija. The people of the Arctic placed more value on
silver, as it was the symbol of the moon that lit up the
twilight period.
In 1902, Aktiebolaget Prospector cleared and con-
structed the first carriage route from Köngäs in
Sodankylä to Laanila. The company’s principle base
and workshops were built along the Laanioja brook.
The mining company search for a variety of minerals
from the area, not just gold. Prospector’s mining en-
gineer and mine manager, Emil Sarlin loved reindeer
and travelling by reindeer sleigh. Indeed, during
the winter travelling with reindeer was a popular
pastime in connection with ore prospecting. Emil
was probably the first person to publish a Swedish
language reindeer husbandry guide for the Grand
Duchy of Finland.
The operations of the mining company stopped
already after only five years. The headquarters of the
company later became the Laanila Kestikievari Inn,
which is the first tourism enterprise to arrive in Saa-
riselkä. Today, the Inn operates as a game restaurant
and a base for a number of activities.
Lapland’s gold is so-called “blood-free” gold, which
means that the indigenous peoples or gold diggers
were not killed due to gold fever. Over the past few
years, a number of grandfathers from the United
States have travelled to Saariselkä to purchase
this blood-free gold for the wedding rings of their
grandchildren. In Central Europe or elsewhere in
the world, nobody can be certain that the mix of gold
does not include any gold stolen from the Incas. The
importance of ethical values has also increased in the
trading of gold, in particular thanks to the awareness
of consumers. Nature conservation perspectives and
ecologically sustainable solutions are implemented
using new means in mining activities. In addition to
blood-free gold, people are also interested in eco-gold,
which is gold that has been excavated without using
earthmoving machinery or other heavy machinery.
Only gold that has been excavated with a shovel ad-
heres to eco-gold criteria.
It is still possible to dig for gold along the Laanioja
brook, for instance on the Sateen-
kaarenpää claim. The owner of
the claim familiarises its
guests with Laanila and
the history of gold in
Lapland, and of course
the secrets behind
eco-gold.
