Sossonniemi

Muojärvi’s recreational fishing paradise

The Kuusamo idyll can be found on the shore of Muojärvi, which is adored by recreational fishermen. The fishing tradition is strong and the catch the finest possible, lake salmon and vendace.

The local food tradition is doing well in Sossonniemi. Muojärvi’s lake salmon, berry and mushroom forests and warm slopes once attracted the Sámi to supplement their winter stocks. You can follow in the footsteps of the Sámi people, rest and eat in Sossonniemi at local tourism companies.

Sosso means fish guts.

Pirkko Määttä, the world champion from Sossonniemi, skied to numerous medal positions during her 20-year skiing career.
