Ivalo Attractions

Ivalo lies on the Ivalojoki, here spanned by a large bridge, and has the most northerly airport in Finland. There is a monument commemorating the Arctic port of Petsamo, now in Russia, which formerly belonged to Finland. Half way between Ivalo and Inari is the Karhunpesäkivi ("Bear's Den Rock"), with a cafe, picnic area and telephone; good fishing. The hill of Akku (327m/1,073ft) offers a rewarding climb.
Tourists come to Ivalo for the many outdoor sports opportunities such as skiing, snowboarding and reindeer sledge riding in winter. Summer activities include hiking, canoeing and mountain biking.
Midnight Sun Film Festival
The Ivalo Midnight Sun Film Festival is held annually in June.
