Kilpisjärvi has 6 restaurants. Many of them can treat you with Lappish specialities like arctic charr -fish, red grouse and reindeer. One of the most popular restaurant services are the tepee evenings in a log tepee. There you will see the dishes being made and get to enjoy your meal in a good company. You should try some of the local dishes, but if you like to have something more ordinary - we have it covered.

Another nice service is catering to the whole of your company up the fells or anywhere you are - at a given time and place. This service is very convenient for active groups, since you do not need to take yourselves back to the village to have a meal, if you are in the middle of activities.

One of the more popular ways to enjoy Kilpisjärvi is on a plane or a helicopter. Some hire a floatplane to another lake to go fishing. Just tell the pilot when to pick you up. Alternatively you can be taken to some high altitude lakes in Norway or Sweden.

During the short summer, you can cruise to the Three Border Point onboard M/S Malla.

Wintertime popular activities include snowmobile rides to Halti fell, Sweden or Norway. Heli-Ski and paragliding are not for the faint in heart. Little less demanding safaris to take include husky rides. Skiing in more than one of its forms: cross-country, downhill, telemark, snowboarding are popular. Cross-country tops in popularity of the bunch. Kilpisjärvi has the longest ski-season in Finland.

One idea to consider is to be taken to Norway to see Northern Norway. We have a charter bus company to facilitate transportation of bigger groups as well.
