Inari ( Finnish pronunciation: [ˈinɑri]; Inari Sami: Aanaar; Inari Sami pronunciation: [ˈɑːnɑːr]; Skolt Sami: Aanar Skolt Sami pronunciation: [ˈɑːnɑr]Northern Sami: Anár Northern Sami pronunciation: [ˈɑnar]; Norwegian and Swedish: Enare; Russian: Инари) is Finland's largest municipality by area (but one of the most sparsely populated), with four official languages, more than any other in the country. Its major sources of income are tourism, service industry, and cold climate testing. With the Siida museum in the village of Inari, it is a center of Sámi culture, widely known as the "capital of Sámi culture".
The airport in Ivalo and the country's key north-south European Route E75 (Finland's National Road 4) bring summer and winter vacationers seeking resorts with access to a well-preserved, uncrowded natural environment.
