K-Market Kuukkeli's department for groceries and other daily products is on the middle, 1st floor.

Property info

Kuukkeli Log Houses Aurora Resort is located in Laanila, about 4 km from the center of Saariselkä. Buildings are on a wonderful 1.8-hectare plot in the heart of Lapland's nature. There are two similar large cottages at the site: Kiilo (A House- lower house) and Rautu (B House-upper house), as well as a smaller cottage Kaarna (C House). The place is ideal for seeing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) when it's cold and the frosty sky is clear. Outdoor hiking trails and cycling routes, e.g. UK National Park are starting about 100 meters away.

Neighborhood info

Saariselkä is located 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and it is one of oldest tourist centers in Finland. Since 1970´s throught the years it has also grown for little fell village. In Saariselkä there is plenty to do, see and experience at all seasons, all year round. The snowy winter season is from November to early May. The sun sets in the darkness of November's Polar Night, but when the sun rises in spring, you can enjoy Nightless Night most of the summer. Kuukkeli Apartments are located in the center of Saariselkä, in a quiet location and close to the area's services. The Shopping Center Kuukkeli is located in the Siula building, approx. 400 meters away. and is open every day from 9 am to 9 pm. There you can get almost everything you need on your vacation, just under one roof. Like at the Bike and Equipment Rental Office Kuukkeli, you can find both e-fatbikes and mountain bikes, sleds, snowslide skis, and you get good service with route information.

Saariselkä Ski & Sport Resort's 20 slalom ski slopes and 6 lifts offer variety for moving around on skis, and it's always worth trying Finland's longest sledding hill which is approx. 1200 m long. The fell scenery is breathtakingly charming in all seasons, and while moving in the ground, you can also listen to ... the silence of true Lapland's nature. It is very easy reach Saariselkä - the nearest, Ivalo Airport is only 20 minutes by car there is good flight connections via Helsinki to everywhere.
