Our Location: Finnish Lapland

Located off the normal grid – here is how to orientate yourself relative to key Scandinavian towns and airports.

Since we are 'off the normal grid', this section helps you orientate yourself relative to key Scandinavian towns and airports. The last leg to us is by air or road, as the closest train stations are a couple of hundred kilometres to our south. Most springs there are direct connections from Helsinki to Enontekiö, but these are often announced late.

Only four roads

There are only four roads running through the whole region. One leads west to where the northernmost borders of Sweden, Finland and Norway meet and continues on towards Tromsø in Norway; en route, you can turn off towards Kiruna and Northern Sweden. The second road crosses the high tundra to our north before dropping down to Alta and the Arctic Ocean. The remaining two roads effectively head south, contouring around the borders of the line of fells that form the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. To our east lies nothing but pure wilderness for mile upon mile.
