Experience Riisitunturi National Park with an experienced guide and discover one of Finland's most breathtaking winter landscapes. This tour is designed for travellers who want more than a scenic walk—it's an opportunity to experience Arctic nature, local culture, and the peaceful beauty of Finnish Lapland at a relaxed pace.

Founded by a guide who grew up in Posio—the municipality where Riisitunturi National Park is located—Arctic Safari Guides offers an authentic local perspective that goes far beyond a typical day tour. Throughout the journey, your guide shares fascinating stories about local life, Finnish traditions, Arctic wildlife, and the history of the region, helping you experience Riisitunturi through the eyes of someone who truly knows the area.

Your adventure begins in Rovaniemi before travelling through snow-covered forests, frozen lakes, and peaceful villages towards Riisitunturi National Park. The journey itself is part of the experience, offering beautiful Arctic scenery long before you reach the national park.

Upon arrival, you'll begin a relaxed guided hike through Riisitunturi's world-famous snow-covered forests. During winter, the trees become covered in thick layers of snow, creating the park's legendary “tykky” formations—one of Finland's most iconic winter landscapes and a favourite destination for photographers from around the world.

The pace is comfortable and adapted to the group, allowing plenty of time to admire the scenery, stop for photographs, learn about Arctic nature, and simply enjoy the silence of the wilderness. Unlike large coach tours, there's no rushing from one viewpoint to another. With a maximum of six guests, you'll have time to ask questions, explore at a relaxed pace, and fully appreciate the unique atmosphere that makes Riisitunturi so special.

Professional photos are included throughout the experience, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment while your guide captures authentic memories for you. After the tour, you'll receive professionally edited images through your own personal online gallery.

After the hike, you'll warm up at a cosy wilderness café run by local entrepreneurs, where you'll enjoy a traditional homemade soup lunch, fresh coffee, and warm drinks in an authentic Lapland atmosphere.
Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, couples, solo travellers, and families with suitable fitness levels, this experience offers a genuine way to discover Finnish Lapland beyond the busiest tourist destinations. It's no surprise that many guests describe Riisitunturi National Park as the highlight of their trip to Finland.
