Saana, Mountain summit in Kilpisjärvi, Finland.

The Saana mountain rises 1,029 meters above sea level, standing prominently above Kilpisjärvi lake with its steep slopes and distinct profile.

The geological formation of Saana occurred during the Caledonian orogeny, resulting in the current composition of schist and gneiss rock formations.

The Sámi people maintain strong connections to Saana mountain through generations of traditional activities, stories, and seasonal migrations.

Visitors can access the mountain through marked trails starting from the Kilpisjärvi village, with the ascent taking approximately three hours for experienced hikers.

In December 2017, the mountain surface received blue illumination covering 2.5 million square meters for Finland's independence centenary celebration.
