Kiilopää Fell

Viewpoint · Finland

A 546-meter fell in the Saariselkä range, on the western edge of Urho Kekkonen National Park in Lapland. The bare summit is a two-kilometer climb from the Kiilopää fell center, and in early September the dwarf birch and willow on its lower slopes turn copper against grey scree above the tree line.
