After 130 km from Rovaniemi, almost halfway to Ivalo, Sodankylä (population 8,000) is almost like a capital in the heart of the impressive Lapland countryside. A useful stopover before extending your journey across the vastness of the north. Historically, Sodankylä was an important crossroads for Sami communities as far back as the early 16th century. Worth a visit: the beautiful wooden church. The region is also an outstanding natural site. If you're there in mid-June, take the opportunity to visit the Midnight Sun Film Festival, launched by the Kaurismäki brothers. Further information at www.msfilmfestival.fi
