Dashing through the Snow

In the tiny village of Kilpisjarvi, the northernmost resort in Finnish Lapland, the pace of life is a relaxed one, but don’t be fooled by the hushed reverence of the glistening snowscapes and silent tundra – here, there is much excitement in the air. Part of the wonder of Kilpisjarvi, which is nestled in the mountains around a giant frozen lake, is you get to be even more remote and exclusive, and really immerse yourself in the way of life, where you’ll be spoiled with more beautiful scenery than you’d know what to do with. But once you begin to explore, you can’t go wrong – you’ll fall in love with the quaint but fun-filled lifestyle here. 

Kilpisjarvi was born out of epic sagas and fabled encounters between the wise magicians and lovestruck giants now immortalised in the fells encircling the resort. The enchantment, the wonder and the charm still abound – in the shooting stars and the twirling Northern Lights that dance overhead.
