Sun & Snow in Kilpisjärvi March 6 – May 3, 2026
Spring in Kilpisjärvi is a season of shimmering snowfields and light. The sun climbs higher each day, the snow carries, and the fell landscape glows in crystal-clear brightness. Days are long, the air is fresh, and the views are breathtaking – this is the perfect time for skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, or simply enjoying the silence.
In spring, Kilpisjärvi is at its very best: there is still plenty of snow, yet the light and warmth make moving outdoors easy and deeply enjoyable. This is a season many experience once – and then return to again and again.
