Things to see and do Utsjoki

This agency organizes tours in the Far North, highlighting the Lappish culture. Many activities are offered: snowshoeing, snowmobile safaris, sledding with huskies or reindeer, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, Nordic walking, berry and mushroom picking, bird watching, or boat cruises on Lake Inari. The safaris are carried out in a spirit of ecotourism, with the emphasis on family-run facilities, such as the Husky GuestHouse in Ivalo, the Kultahovi Hotel in Inari and the Holiday Village Vallee in Utsjoki.

Petteri, a reindeer breeder for 5 generations, will give you a warm welcome at his farm and explain all the characteristics of this animal. In winter, he offers reindeer sled safaris and in summer, one or more day trips with reindeer carrying your bag. If you are lucky, you will be able to attend the traditional reindeer count: all the reindeer herders in the region gather in autumn and mid-March to count and mark their herds.

This 1,530 km² park is worth a visit to walk through part of its "grand canyon", which is 40 km long and 80 m deep. It is the biggest natural attraction in Northern Lapland. It should be visited from the north, near the narrow Kevojoki River, to enjoy the most beautiful panorama of Kevo. There are many marked hiking trails to explore the park and the area. Be sure to check out the 26-metre Fiellu Falls.
