Jämijärvi suits a quiet sauna stay in inland northern Satakunta, with room for bigger groups and Tampere about an hour away by road. It is a very small municipality with little to do beyond the homes themselves, so bring a car and a plan.
Jämijärvi is a small inland municipality in Northern Satakunta, with a charter dating to 1865. Only a small fraction of its area is water, so this is not a big-lake holiday. Its airfield is one of the busiest for general aviation in Finland. Every home here has a sauna, most have a fireplace, and most sleep around six, with a good number of larger houses for groups. They sit within about four kilometres of one another. Out of season it is quiet, so check what is open before you visit.
Ikaalinen borders Jämijärvi, and is one of the three neighbouring municipalities, alongside Kankaanpää and Parkano.
Kankaanpää is a neighbouring municipality of Jämijärvi, the obvious next stop for a change of scene.
Parkano is the third municipality that shares a border with Jämijärvi, on the far side from Kankaanpää.
Tampere is about an hour away by road, and the bus from Tampere takes a little under an hour but runs roughly once a week. The homes are well away from any city, so plan on a hire car and shop before you arrive.
