One of Lapland's most magnificent wilderness areas, a vast expanse of arctic fell country. You can step onto well-marked trails directly from the Saariselkä resort for a few hours or a full day, exploring rolling hills and ancient forests. For a true taste of the wild, venture deeper into the park where a network of wilderness huts awaits seasoned hikers on multi-day treks. In winter, the landscape transforms into a skier's paradise under the glow of the Northern Lights, while summer brings the endless light of the Midnight Sun.
Make sure to check the Luontoon website for different trail information and distances. Here you can also find info about open huts and rental huts within the National Park.
Open fires are not allowed when there is an active forest fire alarm. You can check this on FMI website for each region.
