Good to know

What is Riisitunturi famous for?

Its snow-crowned trees, known in Finnish as tykky: spruces bent under metres of crown snow into surreal shapes. Riisitunturi National Park is one of the most photographed winter landscapes in Finland.

How long and how demanding is the tour?

A full day of 7-8 hours with departure between 08:00 and 09:00. The walking is easy and snowshoes are provided when the snow is deep. Lunch and hot drinks are included.

What is included?

Hotel pickup and drop-off in Rovaniemi, an experienced nature guide, lunch, hot drinks, and snowshoes if needed.

When is the best time to visit Riisitunturi?

From December to March, when the snow load on the trees is heaviest. February and March add long daylight hours for photography.

Can I do Riisitunturi and a Northern Lights tour on the same day?

Yes. You are back in Rovaniemi by early evening, in time for an aurora hunt. Pair it with the small-group aurora tour.

What should I wear?

Three layers: a merino or synthetic base layer, a fleece or wool mid layer and a windproof insulated outer layer, plus wool socks, a warm hat, a neck gaiter and mittens. Read our packing list for Lapland tours. Add sunglasses on bright days: the snow reflects a lot of light.
