Ivalo travel guide

Finland · Top sights · trending spots

Ivalo is deep in Finnish Lapland, well north of the Arctic Circle, where the polar night runs for weeks and the aurora is a matter of clear skies rather than luck.

Saariselkä nearby put beds under glass domes so you can watch from under a duvet. Urho Kekkonen park is walked and skied; reindeer and husky teams run from the farms; and Inari, an hour north, is the centre of Sámi cultural life.

    A church at Ivalo consecrated in 1966 to designs by Kauko Kokko and Laura Jarvi-Larkas, replacing the building the Germans burned as they withdrew from Lapland in 1944. Its steep roof and bell tower stand beside the Ivalo river.
