Saariselkä, a municipality that is located more than 120 miles north of the Arctic Circle, in a privileged natural environment, is the white paradise of Lapland. Its hills show us an unmistakable arctic landscape, surrounded by great frozen lakes and a multitude of snow-covered forests. A short distance away we find the alpine ski resort of Saariselkä, perfect for skiers of any level. The Northern Lights Village is located in the surroundings of Saariselkä, in a privileged natural enclave surrounded by the virgin and untouched nature of Lapland. A perfect place to explore on a snowmobile, ride a husky or reindeer sleigh... or just relax in the sauna.
