The city of Kemijärvi and its surroundings offer a great setting for a wide range of sports activities without traffic jams, all year round!

Indoor sports facilities in the city centre include the Poukama spa and swimming pool, the Wirta Arena ice rink, the sports hall and the Hillatie school sports hall. Gyms can be found in the swimming pool and the sports hall.

For lovers of outdoor and nature sports, Kemijärvi and the surrounding area is a paradise! The Pöyliövaara recreation area, the Peurakankaan ski runs, the walking trails in the city centre and the upcoming new hybrid hiking trail around Lake Pöyliöjärvi are all close to the city centre. The numerous dunes and lakes surrounding Kemijärvi offer a world-class nature experience, and within an hour’s drive there are five ski resorts and four national parks!
