Urho Kekkonen National Park

Reviewed By Minion_adventurer - Southern Finland, Finland

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.

Salmivaara Trail

Reviewed By MKJokela - Lohja, Finland

The hike up wasn't very long but quite steep. But here the hike was also worth the hike. Up you can get a nice scenary to Saana, Kilpisjärvi town and Kilpisjärvi lake. The weather was a bit cloudy but it didn't make the trip any worse.
