Ivalo

A small town by most standards, Ivalo (Sámi: Avvil) is a metropolis in these latitudes. With plenty of services and an airport that's particularly busy in winter, it’s a useful place, though with few attractions. However, Inari’s Sámi culture and Saariselkä’s plentiful activities are close by.
