Ivalon Eräsoppi
The administrative center of the Municipality of Inari, Ivalo, is located along Highway 4, approximately 30 kilometers north of Saariselkä. This major transport route provides access to some of Western Europe’s largest wilderness areas, including Urho Kekkonen National Park, Lemmenjoki, Kevo, Paistunturi, Muotkatunturi, Tsarmitunturi, Kaldoaivi, Vätsäri, and Finnmark in Norway.
Ivalon Eräsoppi specializes in outdoor and trekking equipment sales and rentals. Our year-round selection includes gas canisters, maps, backpacks, backpacking meals, spare parts, and other essential hiking and camping supplies. Our unique store is conveniently located in the center of Ivalo, just 10 kilometers from the airport.
Our staff consists of experienced wilderness guides and local tourism professionals who are happy to provide not only equipment recommendations but also expert advice on the region’s diverse outdoor destinations and hiking opportunities.
However, Ivalon Eräsoppi’s services extend far beyond our physical store. Our webshop offers the same carefully selected range of products as our store located in the heart of Ivalo. Wherever you are in Finland, you can conveniently order the outdoor equipment and supplies you need and have them delivered directly to your doorstep.
