Inari
It is a stunning drive northwest from Ivalo along the lakeshore to Inari, home of the Sami Parlamenta (Sami Parliament) and the center of Sami culture. Lake Inari is Finland's second largest and includes more than 3,000 islands, around which locals and visitors fish in summer and snowmobile in winter. Other popular activities include visiting a reindeer farm, canoeing the nearby rivers, hiking, and cross-country skiing in the Arctic wilderness.
