Far above the Arctic Circle lies a destination where nature writes the itinerary. In Fell Lapland, the year doesn’t just have four seasons, but eight. Each one opens new ways to explore sustainably, connect deeply, and experience the wilderness in all its moods. This is Kittilä and its surrounding fell region — ready to welcome mindful travelers all year round.
Many know Levi for its world-class ski slopes, but there’s more to discover beyond snow and slopes. Fell Lapland is a year-round destination built on sustainable tourism, local culture, and the rhythm of nature. Here, seasons shift gradually: from the pastel light of the polar night to the golden glow of autumn foliage. Each of the eight Arctic seasons brings new light, new life, and new opportunities to experience Lapland — on foot, by bike, or even by paddle.
Travel that gives back
Local tourism businesses are embracing sustainability – not just with words, but through real action: environmental certificates, low-emission solutions, and a deep respect for the land and its people. In Kittilä, sustainability means supporting local communities, preserving cultural heritage, and protecting fragile Arctic ecosystems from the impacts of climate change. Travelers are encouraged to come as guests, leave as friends, and return with a deeper understanding of the North.
A gateway to wild adventure
Kittilä Airport offers direct access to the fells and wild spaces of Western Lapland – from Kolariss and Muonio’s rivers to Enontekiö’s open tundras. This region isn’t built around tourist traps, but genuine experiences shaped by the seasons: midsummer hikes under the midnight sun, autumn bike rides through flaming forest trails, and tranquil paddles in crystal-clear waters.
It’s all here, all year. Welcome!
