Kilpisjärvi

Kilpisjärvi sits at Finland's northernmost point, surrounded by fells and lakes, with the Saana mountain rising 1,029 meters above the settlement.

The settlement developed in the 1930s when the first road connecting Finland to Norway through the area attracted travelers to this northern location.

The village maintains connections with Sami traditions through reindeer herding practices and serves as a base for scientific research at Helsinki University's station.

The village provides year-round accommodation options, a supermarket, and serves as a starting point for hiking trails including routes to Halti and Nordkalott.

Kilpisjärvi marks the meeting point of three nations, where visitors can simultaneously step into Finland, Sweden, and Norway at the tripoint monument.
