로타 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

A super cozy hotel. You can start countless activities from here. The staff is incredibly friendly. There's something for everyone to eat. Hiking in winter isn't ideal, but that's no problem. There are plenty of other options.

Kaivoskuru literally means “mine gorge” or “mining ravine.” The name indicates that this is a valley or small ravine where gold was once extracted.

Kuivakuru is a small valley with clearly visible relics from the gold‑rush era. Along the gully, you can spot old digging sites, earth mounds, and overgrown structures that show you how hard people once worked in their search for gold.

Kiilopää Trailhead is the “classic” entry point for Urho Kekkonen National Park. The signs here invite you to "Escape into the wilderness" - and it's really possible - open fell country is only minutes away. The nearby trail centre offers accommodation, a restaurant/café, sauna and equipment rental, making this a very popular destination, year-round.

Nice shelter near Saariselkä. Note that the caravan site nearby isn’t suitable for tents.

Tiny Santa office in Saariselkä: looks like the Lapland branch. Might be closed, but still a fun little find.

When the conditions line up, you can catch the Aurora Borealis dancing over the national park from here.

The Vellinsärpimä day shelter offers you a moment of peace in the heart of Finnish nature, this is a perfect spot to catch your breath. Built for day use, the shelter isn't officially made for overnight stays. But if the weather turns or your legs beg for rest, the wooden benches inside are more than enough to lie down for a few hours. There's a rustic charm here: the creak of the logs, the smell of smoke if someone’s lit the fire, and the sound of wind threading through the trees.
