Welcome to Kilpisjärvi and the Saivaara Cottages

The Saivaara Cottages are located at Kilpisjärvi, in the very northern part of Finland. The cottages are in the Salmivaara area near the village centrum and close to all the shops and restaurants. We have five large, fully equipped cottages that can accommodate six people each, and a lovely sauna cottage for two people. The large cabins have one bedroom for two people and a loft with beds for four. All cottages have an open-concept, fully equipped kitchen and a living room with a fireplace and, of course, a sauna. Trails, snowmobile and ski tracks are near the cottages.

We installed solar panels in Harjuntie cottages in order to use the cleanest energy without carbon dioxide and particulate emissions. In this way, we take responsibility for our sensitive Arctic nature.


Saivaara safaris offers unforgettable experiences for both individual travelers and small groups. We tailor our safaris according to your wishes. Let's go on a sledding safari at fell Halt, the borders of the Three nations, lake Saanajärvi or even watch and photograph the northern lights, etc. however you want.
