Vikaköngäs Hiking Trails
Hike
Directions

Just a short drive from Rovaniemi, you'll find the Vikaköngäs trails, a local favorite for escaping into the wild heart of Lapland. Your adventure begins right from the car park, crossing a charming suspension bridge over the powerful rapids that impressively flow even in the deepest winter freeze. The trails are well-marked and offer options for everyone, from an easy, accessible 350m path perfect for families to a more moderate 4km loop that rewards you with stunning 360-degree views from a wooden observation tower. It's a year-round destination, beautiful in the vibrant greens of summer, the fiery colors of autumn, or the pure white silence of winter.
