Suomen Latu Kiilopää

Suomen Latu Kiilopää near Saariselkä pairs a traditional smoke sauna and a dip in the Kiilopuro stream with Hotel Niilanpää, cabins and apartments.

Kiilopää is the Finnish outdoor association's fell centre at the foot of Kiilopää fell, and the gate to Urho Kekkonen National Park is in its yard. The reason to stay is the Kuurakaltio smoke sauna down by the Kiilopuro stream, a public sauna heated for three sessions an evening, six days a week, with a swimming spot in the clear, cold stream in front of it.
