Saana - the most popular mountain in Finland
One of Finland's best known fells, or barren and stony hills, is Saana, located in the small village of Kilpisjärvi. It is visited by tens of thousands of tourists each year, and about 25,000 of them climb to the top of Saana. It is an easy and fast hike, for the path leading to the top is only four kilometers long.
The route starting from the Kilpisjärvi hiking center is marked with signs. Depending on the season, the beginning may be somewhat damp, but the wooden boardwalks help keep the shoes dry.
From a distance, Saana’s landscape can look barren and lifeless, but there are many signposts along the route explaining the diversity of the northern nature. There are some very rare plant and insect species on the slopes, and therefore a part of the area is a protected as a nature reserve.
To help with the ascent, stairs are built on the route. Here are Finland's longest stairs: 745 steps, or just over two kilometers. However, these wooden stairs are already history; During the summer 2019, new stairs with the granite stones will be completed.
Saana's peak is over 1,000 meters above the sea level, so even in mid-summer there is snow and ice in the shadows. The weather can be windy and cold, so be sure to bring warm and windproof clothing with you.
The scenery rewards a persistent hiker. Big and small lakes along with rivers glow in blue and the landscape opens in every direction wide and uninhabited. On the horizon one can see the snow-capped mountains of Sweden and Norway. From the middle of May till the end of July, midnight sun illuminates around the clock, so basically one can climb to the top at any time. However, it is good to remember that even if the sun does not fall, the temperature will easily drop below freezing, as the average temperature in the hottest month of July is just under 11 degrees Celsius.
Around the area there are many different hiking trails. For example, the distance to the border of the three kingdoms is 11km, and the highest summit in Finland, Halti, is about 55 km away. There are also many waterfalls along the road leading to Norway, such as this Rovijoki waterfall, which is just under 30 km from Kilpisjärvi and is also worth a visit.

Finnvagabond in Kilpisjärvi
2014 we decided to head to Finnish Lapland and Kilpisjärvi region was easy to approve as our target. Every child in Finland has learnt from their school books a picture of Mountain Saana. That was one of our main targets on this trip by aeroplane and car. Saana has it's uncharacteristic shape of a fjeld. It's unique. In Finland we don't actually have mountains, we call them fjelds. Go look for yourself!
Today 6th December we Finns are celebrating our Independence Day and I liked to choose Sibeliu's music, Finlandia as a backround of this unforgettable journey with my brother Masa and good friend Peke.

I went there with my lovely friend's lovely family. I love Finland. I can't imagine how summer is like in Finland. I have heard that it's beautiful as much as winter is.

Saana - Kilpisjärvi
Kilpisjärven lomaviikolla käytiin Saanalla. Tässä lyhyt pätkä ilmasta. Tulossa lisää videoita reissusta, kunhan saan niitä editoitua.
Saanan uusi sorastettu reitti sekä portaat tuli testattua ja ainakin nyt olivat hyvät ja järkevämmässä paikassa kuin edelliset. Keli oli todella upean aurinkoinen ja lähes tyyni. Näköalat olivat huikeat varsinkin kun Ruotsin ja Norjan suurtuntureilla oli lunta.
