A quieter way to experience Lapland
Kiilopää Lodge is our home in the Finnish wilderness: a spacious and welcoming log cabin tucked among the trees at the entrance to Urho Kekkonen National Park.
Spend your days skiing, hiking or exploring the fells, then return to light the fire, warm up in your private sauna and watch the forest through the cabin’s large windows.
The cabin sleeps up to six people and is equally suited to couples, families or a small group of friends looking for an independent Lapland escape.

Location
Wilderness on your doorstep
The cabin sits beside Urho Kekkonen National Park, with access to hiking, cycling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing directly from the surrounding forest.
Kiilopää Fell Centre is nearby and has restaurants, a small shop, equipment rental and a traditional smoke sauna. Saariselkä is approximately 14 kilometres away, with a larger supermarket, shops, restaurants and downhill skiing.
Getting here
By air
Ivalo Airport is the nearest airport. The journey to the cabin takes approximately 30 minutes.
Without a car
A bus stop is around five minutes from the cabin, so it is possible to stay without hiring a vehicle.
By train
You can take the overnight train from Helsinki towards northern Finland and continue to Kiilopää by bus.
I would add the exact bus-stop name and a link to transfer guidance after somebody books.
Lapland through the seasons
Snowy winter
December–March
Cross-country ski from the forest behind the cabin, explore by snowshoe or fatbike, and look for the Northern Lights after dark.
Spring snow
March–May
Enjoy longer days, quieter trails and some of the season’s best conditions for Nordic skiing.
Midnight Sun
June–September
Hike, cycle, swim and explore the national park beneath the almost endless northern daylight.
Autumn colours
September–November
Experience the forest during ruska, when the landscape turns gold and red and the trails become beautifully quiet.
