Kovddoskaisi (Northern Sami: Govddosgáisi) is the fourth highest mountain in Finland with a summit at 1242 m (prominence 440m). Many backpackers consider it to be the hardest summit to reach in Finland for its location between two valley lakes and relatively steep rise (up 600 m in 5 km) and harsh terrain.
