Riisitunturi National Park

Glimpses of a wooden building can be seen behind the snow-covered branches. The text RIISI and AUTIOTUPA can be seen above the front door of the building.

Humid climatic conditions contribute to Riisitunturi's natural beauty. The park has some of the finest sloping bogs anywhere in Europe. In winter the spruce trees that cover many of Riisitunturi National Park's hillsides are clad with a thick coating of condensed frost, creating a photogenic white forest. Enticing trails suitable for day-trips or longer treks welcome hikers in summer and snowshoe trekkers in winter.

Suitability: Suitable for people of all ages and beginners as well. A good destination for cross-country skiers, snowshoers, trekkers, bird watchers and photographers.

The area is managed by Metsähallitus, Parks & Wildlife Finland.
