This road in winter

The Drive From Ivalo

A short main-road run into the fells. What makes this area different is not the road but the darkness: this is the furthest north of the three, with the least light and the fewest people.

About 25 minutes

  • Main road, kept clear through the winter
  • Every car on winter tyres, the cabin warm before you get in
  • Polar night: around the turn of the year the sun does not rise here for several weeks
  • Reindeer on the road throughout the area, day and night
  • Dark skies are why guests here keep a car for the evenings
