Introducing Northwestern Lapland
Although remote, northwestern Lapland doesn’t seem nearly as desolate and empty as its eastern counterpart. For a start it’s got ‘mountains’ and is best known for its ski resorts (Levi, Ylläs and Olos), superb summer hiking (Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park and Kilpisjärvi area), and white-water rafting and canoeing on the fast-flowing Muonionjoki and Tornionjoki rivers, which form the border between Finland and Sweden. Throw in husky dogsledding and you’ve got plenty of action above the Arctic Circle.
