In winter time, it is time for cross country skiing, ice fishing and motor sledging. Winter net fishing, with a local fisherman, is an unforgettable experience.

Nellim is called a ‘village of three cultures’. The inhabitants of the village consist of Inari Sami, Skolt Sami and Finns. The village is a meeting point of the eastern and the western Sami cultures. There are about 250 inhabitants. Reindeer herding, fishing and forestry still play a role part in terms of livelyhood in the life of the locals.
