Kolari is the location of the most northern train station in Finland. It is located at Swedish border in Finnish Lapland. The municipality is largely forest and swamps with some fells in the west. The most important location is the area around mount-like Yllästunturi (Ylläs fell).

There isn't that much snow in Finland anymore, but if you go to Ylläs on winter time, you can be sure that there will be snow. This year you could ski even in the end of April. Well, in the last week of April it pretty much started to melt :) But when the snow melts, the nature looks kind of cool as you can see from the pictures! 25 days, 21 hours ago

If you don't want to ski and do downhill skiing all the time when staying in Ylläs, take some time and go to Konijänkän kotieläinpiha ("domestic animal farmyard of Konijänkkä"), there are lots of animals and of course: reindeers! I recommend this specially for children, but for adults also. That animal in a picture is a pig, believe it or not. Breath-taking :) 11 days, 3 hours ago
Nice little boutique. They are also selling normal souveniers, but the point going there is that they usually have something fun to buy as present. I just bought a month ago the funniest hat ever to my daughter. 7 days, 21 hours ago
I visit Ylläs every year, usually about 4 times. In spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every time has its' sides. There is snow in winter and spring and in summer it's beautiful like usually in Finland. In autumn it's "ruska" time and the leaves chance their color and forests are beautiful. 7 days, 21 hours ago
No matter the time of the year, it's worth going there! In the winter snow, reindeers and that possibility to go to skiing in a pure nature...it's so peaceful! And in a summer there is so quiet, almost no one is there...then it's so great to climb to the "mountain"...you can walk there by the road or if you want to take challenges, climb straight to the top :) 41 days, 9 hours ago
Ylläs is an excellent site for cross country skiing - track network covers several fells and there is several hundred kms to ski. one year, 19 days ago

Tricky -as I think it might be trying to do a number of things -needs careful read -as I _may_ have misrepresented the argument -you need to look and evaluate for yourself the issues -I come from a position of where I was concerned that a deccision in WP Local might want to justify amalgamation of railway station articles into localities where issues of sources or notability might occur.
