Mountain and winter sports Laponie

The vast Urho Kekkonen National Park (2,550 km²) is Finland's second largest and one of Europe's last great wilderness areas. All the characteristics of Arctic nature are combined in the heart of these forests, which extend across the Russian border. The park is huge: maps are absolutely essential. However, there are several marked trails that can be done in a day: circuits between 1 and 6 km or a 40 km trek along the Nuorti River.

As the season progresses, the sun returns, the light changes and the atmosphere at the top of the slopes is very special, with breathtaking sunsets!
