Into Finland's Most Photogenic Winter Forest

Oulanka National Park is one of Finland's most beautiful winter landscapes — deep snow, frozen rivers and pine forests bowed under thick white frost. This guided snowshoe tour takes you off the beaten track and into the silence of it.

After getting equipped at the safari office, we drive to Juuma and set off on snowshoes through the snow-covered forest to the beautiful Myllykoski rapids, crossing the hanging bridge above the running water. It's a gentle 4–5km route that takes about 3.5 hours including the drive.

Pickup is available from Rovaniemi, or as a longer day trip from Rovaniemi — perfect for nature lovers and photographers of all fitness levels.
