Snowshoeing is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the freedom of winter hiking in Finnish Lapland. Walk on pure white snow, breathe in crisp Arctic air and move quietly through snow-covered forests and open fell landscapes. Along the way, you may find yourself surrounded by magical snow-laden trees, known as tykky, and the deep silence of the far north.
From the summit of Rukatunturi Fell, admire wide winter views over the surrounding wilderness. Explore the scenic trails of Konttainen Hill, known for its winter birds and peaceful forest atmosphere, or follow snowshoeing routes in Oulanka National Park, where frozen and free-flowing rapids create a striking contrast in the heart of winter. Riisitunturi National Park offers some of the most iconic snowshoeing scenery in Finland, especially famous for its heavily snow-covered trees and postcard-perfect landscapes.
