Dear all,
I have been asked about how to reach Saariselkae (and where it is located).
You can find more information via the Smartnet conference page http://www.lut.fi/%7Ejhyvarin/Smartnet2002.htm but here is a short description.
Saariselkae is a small town in the center of Lapland (Northern Finland). It is approxim. 10 or 15 kilometers south of the very small airport of Ivalo (IVL). You might reach Saariselkae also by bus from Rovaniemi but this will need much more time.
When we had our first meeting in Saariselkae (it was in March 1992 and it was the first meeting when I was TC6 chairman) we had a really wonderful time there: snow, absolute quieteness, skidoo driving,... It was just great. Thus I can only recommend to attend the meeting.
I hope that we a minibus can be provided from the airport to the hotel (such as for the previous meeting) but I suppose that both Friday flights from Helsinki to Ivalo will have several delegates who might also do some taxi sharing.
Best wishes Otto
Dear TC6 Members,
Please, find attached the Finnair IVALO flight schedules. I propose that you reserve your flights as soon as possible, since some flights are already getting fully booked. There is a regular bus connection from Ivalo airport to Saariselkä hotels for each coming and leaving flight. Ms. Ansa Laakkonen will arrive on Friday and she will be happy to help you, her GSM number is +358 5050 20431. If you need to stay overnight in Helsinki, the Airport Hotels are OK, if more time available the hotels in City Center are recommended, see e.g. www.cumulus.fi or www.scandic-hotels.com.
With best regards, Olli

-----Original Message----- From: ifip-tc6-admin@Lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE [mailto:ifip-tc6-admin@Lists.RWTH-Aachen.DE]On Behalf Of Otto Spaniol Sent: 4. helmikuuta 2002 13:33 To: augusto.casaca@inesc.pt; ifip-tc6@informatik.rwth-aachen.de Subject: [ifip-tc6] Correction: Flights to Ivalo+Saariselkae
Dear colleagues,
a few minutes ago I have sent you a message concerning flights Helsinki-Ivalo. I made a mistake when translating the Finnair information (given in Finnish abbreviations).
The flights are:
Friday (!!!) 05APR HEL-IVL
1 AY 463 HEL IVL dep 1120 arr 1300 2 AY 467 HEL IVL dep 2015 arr 2155
Saturday (!!!) 06APR HEL-IVL
1 AY 461 HEL IVL dep 0720 arr 0900 2 AY 463 HEL IVL dep 1120 arr 1300.
The correct date, i.e. 05 april or 06 april, was given in the earlier message (but the day of the week was incorrect).
The situation about availability remains as described. In order to attend the meeting (which is scheduled for April 6+7) you will normally have to arrive in Ivalo on Friday, April 5, at the laterst.
Best wishes Otto
