5. Riisitunturi National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 38 reviews
Riisitunturi National Park represents the fell and hill landscape of Koillismaa district at its best. The most valuable features of Riisitunturi Fell are the colourful hanging bogs on the slopes, and on the top of the fell the breath-taking scenery over the Lakes Kitkajärvet and the forest landscape of Posio. In the snowy forests, trees are covered with ”tykky”, frozen snow deposits, which in the blue moonlight just seem unreal.

Without a doubt, an excursion to do in winter.Its location is on a hill, so in winter, the amount of snow is infinite and beautiful.All the trees are full of snow, so they look like figurines (you have to have imagination) but it is beautiful. (Very cold)

A 5 km road back through the magic forest, I couldn't stop myself from photographing every meter of the forest ! And the frozen waterfall was the highlight of the trip!
7. Pallas-Yllastunturi National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 124 reviews
The scenery in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park is dominated by fells surrounded by forests and mires in their natural state. Because the area’s nature is clean and beautiful and the terrain varying, the park is a wonderful place to hike, ski and enjoy the outdoors. The silhouette of the fells can be seen practically at all times and the marked trails lead visitors to the National Park’s most beautiful look-out spots. The picturesque beauty of the Pallastunturi Fells has made the area one of the Finnish national landscapes.

If you want to see some raw Finnish fell nature, I warmly recommend to hike the Hetta-Pallas path (approximately 50-55 kilometres). Just remember there is a lot of uphill and some challenging paths, so it doesn't suit for you if you have any mobility restrictions.
8. Saana
Overall Ratings

This recognizable fell is located in the village of Kilpisjarvi. You can climb to the top of the fell (1029m) along a trail which starts at the Kilpisjarvi tourist centre. Scrambling up to the top of Saana is a challenge worth doing. The longest set of stairs in Finland helps you at the steepest part of the four kilometer journey. From the top of the Saana you can see for miles!

The trail begins from a parking slot of Malla naturalpark. The trail was in very good condition for about the first couple of kilometers. From there the rest of the route was a gently sloping rocky "path". The "path" was marked with black sticks but basically you could walk where ever on the top of Saana. This phase of the climb seemed to be never ending but the hike was totally worth the scenery at the top of Saana.

As the second biggest National Park in Finland this park offers peace and tranquility just few steps from the center of Saariselkä village. You have easy walking routes coming to the border and then short and longer snowshoeing trail. Short one you can do on any weather but the longer one takes you up on the fjell so you don't want to take that in a bad weather. Skiing tracks are going more deeply inside the park. At the summer hiking routes are going everywhere.

Our main work is reindeer herding and some days are reserved for reindeer work only and visits for the guests are limited because of that. - Reservations Required

We really loved our trip to this farm. Petri is a wonderful and thoughtful guide and we had a fun snowmobile led sleigh ride to a reindeer grazing area, where Petri was able to call about 100 reindeer that we could take pictures of and hang out around. Petri gave great insight into the reindeer herding life, and his wife explained the basics of Sami language and culture and they both answered every question. I would highly recommend this trip and thank Petri and his family for opening his farm for people to learn about reindeer. Make sure you dress warm as you will be outside for several hours.
