Kaunispää Fell
Kaunispää
A 438-meter bald fell beside Saariselkä with a road to the summit, the top choice for northern lights, sunsets, and autumn colors.
Kaunispää Fell sits right next to the village of Saariselkä. Its open summit offers an unobstructed view over the rolling hills of Urho Kekkonen National Park. In summer you can see the midnight sun, and in winter, far from city lights, it's a walkable spot for watching the aurora. The summit has a restaurant and an observation tower, and the north slope holds the ski runs of the Saariselkä ski area. Walking up from the village center takes about 1 hour; in winter you can take the ski lift or drive to the top. Admission is free, but keep warm on winter nights.
