Kolari

Built around the Muonio River valley, Kolari grew into a northern Finnish municipality where lowland river country meets the fells of Lapland. The Muonio forms part of Finland’s border with Sweden, giving the area a broad, sparsely settled frontier character. Kolari is the northern terminus of Finland’s rail network, a practical link between this remote district and the rest of the country. To the east, Ylläs rises above the villages of Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi; its slopes and the nearby Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park make the municipality a base for skiing, hiking and cross-country routes.
