Summer Wilderness Hike in Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi, the capital city of Finnish Lapland, is surrounded by breathtaking Arctic landscapes. Hiking in Rovaniemi during summer is a fantastic way to experience lush Arctic nature, rolling hills, and river valleys.

For this excursion, you can choose a half-day (3.5 hours) or all-day (7 hours) tour. The adventure starts at the meeting point in Rovaniemi city centre (pick-up is available from your accommodation, please specify when booking). Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by your friendly nature guide and driven to the hike starting point in the wilderness outside of Rovaniemi. After a quick itinerary briefing, your hike in Rovaniemi begins!

For the half-day tour, you'll embark on a gentle 4-5 km (2-3 mi) hike in the greater Rovaniemi region, including a visit to an amazing viewpoint offering mesmerising panoramic vistas. The full-day tour involves a longer 5-8 km (3-5 mi) hike around Rovaniemi, or in another region in Lapland. You may hike to a canyon or to the top of Lappish fells. The guide will organise the hike's duration, route and difficulty based on the group's abilities and preferences.

Throughout your half-day or full-day hike in Finnish Lapland, you'll explore stunning tundra and learn about unique Arctic flora and fauna. The local guide will provide an educational experience, teaching you about nature survival skills and how to spot different animal tracks in the early snow/mud. Midway through the excursion, you'll break around an open fire to enjoy delicious grilled Finnish snacks and hot drinks. The guide will answer any questions you have about Lapland and the Arctic.
