What you can expect

Experience the unforgettable beauty of Riisitunturi National Park on a premium small-group adventure designed for travellers who want more than just another crowded tourist tour.

This experience takes you deep into one of Lapland’s most breathtaking winter landscapes — where massive snow-covered trees, endless Arctic wilderness and peaceful silence create scenery that feels almost unreal.

But what truly makes this experience different is not only the destination.
It’s how the entire day is designed.

Most tours simply take you to Riisitunturi.
This experience is carefully timed around the best light and conditions of the day, often reaching the fell during the magical Arctic sunset hours when the snowy landscapes glow in soft blue, pink and golden tones.

The difference is enormous.

Instead of rushing through crowded stops and fixed schedules, you travel in a relaxed small group with a maximum of 8 guests. This allows for a calmer atmosphere, more flexibility during the day and a far more personal experience from start to finish.

Your journey begins with a comfortable drive from Rovaniemi through frozen forests, snowy villages and the peaceful landscapes of southern Lapland. Along the way, your local guide shares stories about Arctic nature, local culture and everyday life in the North — giving you a deeper connection to the places you see.

Once we arrive at Riisitunturi National Park, we begin a relaxed hike through the park’s famous “tykky” forest, where heavy snow transforms the trees into incredible natural sculptures. The pace is unhurried, allowing plenty of time to stop, breathe, take photos and truly experience the silence of Lapland wilderness.

And unlike many standard tours, we don’t simply stop at crowded public campfire areas.

After the hike, we visit a cosy local wilderness café run by local entrepreneurs, where you can warm up and enjoy a delicious homemade soup meal in a peaceful traditional setting. It’s the perfect way to relax after time spent outdoors in Arctic nature.

Professional photos are also included throughout the experience, so you can focus fully on enjoying the moment instead of constantly reaching for your phone or camera. Your guide captures authentic memories during the day, and all edited photos are delivered afterwards through a personal download link.

This experience is ideal for:

  • couples
  • solo travellers
  • photographers and content creators
  • families
    travellers looking for authentic Lapland experiences
    anyone wanting to avoid large tourist crowds

If you are looking for a rushed mass-tour experience, this may not be the right tour for you.

But if you want to experience Riisitunturi National Park in a more relaxed, authentic and unforgettable way — with local guidance, beautiful Arctic light and carefully designed details throughout the day — this may become one of the highlights of your entire trip to Lapland.
