About Saariselkä
Saariselkä is Finnish Lapland's premier wilderness destination, a sprawling national park landscape where aurora hunters descend in winter and hikers traverse fell-country in summer. The landscape is subarctic tundra—low scrubland, lichen, and hardy vegetation under endless skies. Winter darkness and summer midnight sun create two extreme experiences. Sami herds of reindeer drift across these lands as they have for centuries.
