Urho Kekkonen National Park
Park

Directions

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.

  • Download the 112 emergency service app on your mobile device.
