Lake Inari - Surrounding Area

The great attraction of this region is its unspoiled natural scenery, with large expanses which show no trace of the hand of man. Visitors traveling on Road 4 (E 75) in the direction of Norway will get some impression of the particular world of Lake Inari on the stretch of road between Ivalo and Inari. Those spending at least one night in the region should include a boat trip on the lake - perhaps to the island of Ukkokivi, which in pagan times was regarded by the Sami as the most sacred of the many islands on the lake (one to three departures daily in summer from Inari; the trip takes two hours).
