Wilderness centre in Suomussalmi near the eastern border, running bear watching since 1995, with lodging for about 29 guests, meals and saunas. Visitors spend the night in large watching huts with bunks and a view for every seat, or in smaller one- or two-person photography hides set in forest, bog and lakeshore terrain. The season runs from bears emerging in April to mid-August, with June as the peak.
