**Inari – The Center of Sámi Culture**

The village of Inari is strongly connected to Sámi culture and life. It is home to, for example, the Sámi Church, the Sámi Museum-Nature Center Siida, and the Sámi Culture Center Sajos, which serves as the Sámi Parliament house in Finland and a center of culture, education, and expertise.

Sogsakk, the Sámi region’s education center located in Inari, is a secondary school run by the Finnish state that plays a key role in promoting the Sámi region and culture, as well as Arctic know-how.

**Holiday in Inari Village – Stay at Kuukkeli Apartments Inari**

Kuukkeli Apartments Inari offers three new and comfortable apartments with a total of 12 beds. The apartments are located in a red brick house in the center of Inari village and close to its services. The accommodation is just a few minutes' walk away from the famous Lake Inari (Inarijärvi).
From the picturesque village of Inari, the magnificent Lake Inari unfolds, often referred to as the Sámi Sea. Lake Inari stands as a truly unique body of water in Europe. Its vast open waters allow for days of travel without encountering other people. The shores are largely undeveloped, and for anglers and paddlers, there are several maintained wilderness huts and covered campfire sites available. The lake's extensive archipelago makes it easy to get lost, so ensure you are well-equipped and exercise caution when navigating its waters.

Lake Inari is Finland's premier destination for trout fishing. Recent years have seen an average trout catch of approximately 45 tons. The lake is also home to a rich variety of other salmonids, including landlocked salmon, Arctic char, lake trout (namaycush), whitefish, vendace, and grayling. **For the best fishing experience and safe navigation, consider hiring a local wilderness guide who knows the area intimately.** Kuukkeli Apartments Inari is a self-catering accommodation, and there is no reception or staff on site.
