Service Description

On our tour, you will get to explore the north parts of Paistunturi Wilderness Area, easily and safely. Our guide will drive you with a snowmobile through the stunning views of Paistunturi Wilderness Area, and you will sit comfortably and warm in a sleigh. You will be provided with information and stories about the geology, traditional nature-based livelihoods and Sámi culture – or just enjoy the silence. We carry binoculars with us, so we can look for our reindeer grazing freely in the wilderness area without disturbing them. Paistunturi is a large wilderness area in Northernmost Lapland in Utsjoki. In this 1500 square kilometer large wilderness area, stunning sceneries after another are exposed, as the gentle rolling fells are crossed by deep carved river valleys. From the highest fell tops, you get a great view over the entire wilderness area, as far as to the fells in Norway. Paistunturi wilderness area has only a few marked trails and wilderness cabins. Paistunturi is reindeer-herding area of the indigenous Sámi population, and more than 6000 reindeer graze in Paistunturi area. Paistunturi Wilderness Area is a demanding but rewarding destination, so local guide is a must-have when exploring this wilderness area. This tour is available from early December to end of April, as long as the snow conditions allow driving on the fells. We have tours scheduled on our booking calendar, but you can also request for a private, tailored tour on a time that suits you best. The tour includes pick-up within 10 km from Utsjoki village, the sleigh ride to the fells, rental helmet and warm drinks and a small snack. A warm overall/moonsuit and warm boots can also be borrowed if needed, just contact us in advance via email at arctic@travelutsjoki.com. We have a few different starting points for the tour, depending on the snow and weather conditions. All starting points are less than 5 km from Utsjoki village.
