The legendary River Lemmenjoki leads into the homelands of Lapland's indigenous Sámi People. Experience the wilds and try panning for gold on a guided river trip. Tuck into tasty reindeer stew as you scan the night sky for the Northern Lights in winter, or bathe in the rays of the Midnight Sun in summer. Finland's largest national park has plenty of wild places to explore off the beaten track.
The middle parts of the National Park are dominated by the most impressive scenery of the park: over 70 km long Lemmenjoki River surrounded with Maarestatunturi and Viipustunturi Fells. The slopes of the valley of Lemmenjoki River are covered in unique old-growth Pine (Pinus sylvestris) forests. Suitability: Day trippers and more experienced hikers.
