What To Expect
Lapland Welcome
Join our nature experts and enjoy our little nature trip and come admiring exceptionally beautiful mountain landscape in Katkavaara. Take pictures in the evening light and enjoy the sound of silence. During this program we also barbeque by open fire in a typical Lappish tepee and learn some old Finnish mythology and shamanism. Katkavaara is located some 45 minutes from Rovaniemi. It is an exceptionally beautiful little mountain where you can see the ancient sea sides easily telling their story from the time 7 000 years ago. It is easy to imagine the stone age people living here fishing and hunting. The summit area is open stone fields where excellent duck boards have been set to make it possible to admire this exceptional view over taiga forests. If the sky is clear we may admire the arctic sunset as well. Anyway you will find the sunset light even if the sun is behind clouds. The best view is from a wooden tower that has been made for admiring this exceptional view.

5.00Anthony was our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Did above and beyond taking us to this beautiful trail, preparing the BBQ, pickup and drop-off was on time. I highly recommend Anthony not only for this tour but also to the northern lights tours!!!!!

5.00Wow. If travelling to Rovaniemi in Autumn or Summer this is a must do. Anthony is very knowledgeable. You’re driven to the area, then it’s about an easy picturesque walk for about 30 minutes. The view is amazing and you can never tire of it. I enjoyed the snack that was provided after we watched the sunset. They drop you off to your hotel afterwards (around 0230).
Gorgeous tour in Lapland wilderness

5.00The tour comprises a trip in the lappish taiga forest within a restricted area. During the travel to the area, it's very likely to see animals of the lappish fauna such as reindeers and mooses. After 1km hike it's possibile to admire an amazing landscape and feel the power of silence. Then our guide prepare a barbecue with typical finnish food, telling interesting stories about history of Lapland and culture of the country. Absolutely recommended!
