A unique mix of terrain

At the northern edge of Europe's great boreal forests, the taiga gives way just 20km north of our base to high tundra and exposed, treeless arctic plateaus. Enontekiö sits at the intersection of three national borders, so Norway, Sweden and the Arctic Ocean are only a day-trip away.

The great fells

The great fells of Enontekiö, such as Saana and Malla in Kilpisjärvi, watch over the nation's oldest nature reserve and form part of the national landscape. Even on the Lappish scale, this legendary great fell region offers more than other areas can dream of.
