The Arctic Circle Hiking Area is ideal for day trips. The versatile nature trails invite visitors to take outdoor exercise for a few hours or all day, exploring the natural or cultural heritage of the area.

• The area offers easy and moderate marked trails of varying lengths (from about 2 km to 10 km).
• The Arctic Circle Hiking Area also has two demanding accessible trails.
• Hikers can learn about the area from the colourfully illustrated information boards along the trails.
• The numerous rest spots and campfire sites are ideal for having a picnic and taking a rest along the way.
• The trails are not maintained in winter, but the snow on the most popular trails often get packed down enough to walk on during winter.
• Vikaköngäs and Vaattunkiköngäs parking areas are good starting points for excursions.
