Kuortane sits on the shore of Lake Kuortaneenjärvi in western Finland, where a broad lake basin meets the flat fields and forests of Ostrobothnia. The Battle of Kuortane, part of the Finnish War between Sweden and Russia, was fought here in 1808. Today, Kuortane Sports Resort gives this small municipality a recognised role in Finnish sport through training, education and competitions. The centre stands close to the water, while farms, woodland and smaller settlements extend across the surrounding countryside.
