Lapland’s many stunning natural destinations offer plenty of choices when planning activities for your visit to Finnish Lapland.  And if you ask the locals, many will have their own favourite destination. There is no debating which is best—just as it is in matters of taste in general.  However, there are many people in Lapland that would name Riisitunturi National Park as their favourite outdoor destination. Are you ready to find out why?

For travellers staying in Levi, it’s easy to enjoy well-marked trails and nearby scenery. But if you’re looking to step beyond the resort and experience Lapland’s natural landscape in a deeper way, you may want to consider Beyond Arctic’s full-day trip to Pallas-Ylläs National Park. This guided adventure combines Arctic exploration, practical outdoor skills, and time to simply observe the environment at a slower pace – not to mention the views from the top of the fell!

The shortest winter days are now in the rear-view mirror. From January onwards, winter in Rovaniemi takes on a new rhythm. Daylight stretches a little further each day, and the snowy landscapes of Finnish Lapland become easier to explore.

Just a short drive from Rovaniemi, you can find landscapes that feel untouched by time: the deep Korouoma canyon, frozen lakes and rivers, old-growth forests, and waterfalls that defy the cold by continuing to flow even in the middle of winter.
