Utsjoki - a village nestled between the fells - is located in the Arctic Tundra and in the heart of the Homelands of the indigenous Sámi people, in Northernmost Finnish Lapland. Pure nature awaits right at your door. Get the most out of the gorgeous nature and join us on a day hike to the nearby fells - safely and guided. On our guided hike, you get to see amazing landscapes of Paistunturi Wilderness Area, with the Great River Teno carving its way between the fells in Norway and Finland.
We hike on trails within 30 minute drive from Utsjoki village, and we can pick you up from your accommodation anywhere within 10 km from Utsjoki village.
Our trek is 5-10 km with elevation of several hundred metres (but not very steep). If you are capable to walk this distance on uneven terrain, you can take part on our tour. The duration of the tour will be 3-4 hours, as we hike on a pace that is comfortable for participants.
What is included: 3-4 hour guided tour, transport max 10 km from Utsjoki, small snacks and hot drinks. Wilderness lunch can be included for extra cost.
What to bring: Good shoes for hiking on trail, backpack, water bottle, outdoor clothing according to temperature and weather conditions, wind-proof jacket or warmer jacket for breaks depending on weather (it is always colder on the fells than in the village!), snacks, toilet paper, bandage in case of blisters, personal medication if needed, phone with full battery. Pack waterproof if risk of rain.
