Easy guided wilderness walk
Paistunturi and Kaldoaivi Wilderness areas in Utsjoki are the largest wilderness areas in Finland. They are protected nature reserves, with almost no human-built roads or structures, but here the indigenous Sàmi people still actively practice their traditional livelihoods of reindeer herding, hunting and fishing.
An experienced local guide is a must-have when exploring outside marked trails, to take care of your safety and to give a deeper understanding of the local culture, geology and nature.
We have planned day hikes for all types of guests, and this is the easy 2-3 hour hike of 3-5 km. You can reserve this tour online or via email. We normally start at 10 AM from our storage at Tenontie 114. Let us know if you need us to pick you up for the tour. Any pick-up within 8 km from Utsjoki village is included in the price!
Wear protective clothes according to weather, put on comfortable walking shoes and let us guide you on an easy nature walk in Utsjoki region!
This program is easily modified to accessible for baby stroller and wheel chair.
If you want to experience the famous mosquitoes of Lapland in early July, we can take you to wetland areas to find them. Otherwise we select routes where we won´t be disturbed by hungry insects.
Utsjoki is a unique destination with the arctic highlands and river valleys, and gorgeous colors of the silent nature. Paistunturi and Kaldoaivi wilderness areas have endless trails and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes to explore!
