Riisitunturi National Park, located 150 kilometers east of Rovaniemi, is known for its breathtaking winter landscapes, with snow-covered spruce trees resembling fluffy marshmallows. This beautiful park attracts nature lovers and photographers from around the world, especially during winter.

As you explore, your guide will introduce you to the park's unique wildlife and explain the region's natural history.
After the hike, enjoy a Finnish campfire lunch around an open fire, where your guide will demonstrate traditional fire-starting techniques using flint and steel.

The tour lasts about eight hours, including transportation, hiking, and lunch, with a return to Rovaniemi around 16:00.

In my opinion the most beautiful national park in Finland. I visited during the summer and haven't seen Finland during the winter. But I went to quite a few national parks and this one is my favourite. There are multiple trails to choose from. They are between 1 and 27km long. I walked the 10km trail. The whole trail was well maintained. The short trails are also very family friendly. The longer ones can be more challenging for children and elderly.
Wonderful place! We did the easiest hike and the views were fantastic!
Riisitunturi National Park – A Scenic Surprise in the Heart of Lapland We came to Riisitunturi with low expectations—and left thoroughly enchanted. Nestled at the edge of Lapland, this park offers a landscape unlike much of the rest of Finland, making it a refreshing discovery for any nature lover. The hike up to Riisi fell, is both gentle and rewarding. Along the way, you’ll encounter unique flora and fauna, offering a delightful contrast to southern parts of the country. At the summit, it’s a paradise for birdwatchers and photographers—cameras and binoculars abound.
Beautiful park during winter with the snow covered trees. The hike is quite easy. We did it twice and as you can see it's one of the best places to watch northern lights.
There is free parking, and good signage for the available trails. We went twice in January, and the winter forest was just spectacular regardless of weather condition. we were prepared with snowshoes, but the trail was walkable without them even early in the morning after some snow. We used crampons for better grip however.
