The village of Kilpisjarvi sits in Finlands remote north-western arm beside a mountain lake, ringed by fells and close to the Three-Country Cairn where the borders of Finland, Sweden and Norway meet. Reached by a hike or boat trip across the lake, the cairn is a popular goal for visitors to this wild corner. The area offers outstanding fell scenery, arctic nature and a genuine sense of being at the very edge of the country.
