Savukoski

Located in the northern east side of Lapland, Savukoski is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Europe, where reindeer outnumber people by twelve to one.

Its landscapes hide ancient relics and stories of old Sámi settlements, while the arctic nature with its changing seasons offers a unique setting for outdoor adventures.

In the vast wilderness of Urho Kekkonen National Park, you'll find the Santa Claus’s home fell Korvatunturi, accessible for the adventurously spirited travelers.

Savukoski might be remote, but never out of reach.

The nearest railway station is in Kemijärvi, where the night train brings you comfortably. From the train station, you can continue to Savukoski by bus or by a call taxi, which operates at the same price as the bus and must be booked by 6PM the evening before. The nearest airports are Rovaniemi, Kittilä, Ivalo, and Kuusamo, and from each you can continue your journey by rental car, bus, or arrange transportation with local entrepreneurs. Bus schedules to be found on Matkahuolto website.
