About this activity

Explore Pyhä-Luosto fell's ancient glacial landscapes and old-growth forests while immersing yourself in Sámi and Finnish folklore about nature spirits and mystical beings. This 3-hour guided walk combines Nordic wilderness with cultural storytelling, uniquely positioned to experience either the midnight sun (summer) or extended twilight.

During this easy hike you will experience the magnificent scenery and the glacial landscape of the Pyhä-Luosto fell. On the walk you can experience the magnificent landscapes, aapamires, surrounding fells and over 400 years old old-growth forests.

You will hear Lapland and Finnish beliefs during the excursion, as well as mystical stories about our nature gods and beings around us.

Tour is available with midnight sun 1.6-15.8. and after that we will see sunset.

Highlights

  • ✓Walk through 400+ year-old boreal forest on easy, well-maintained trails

  • ✓Experience aapamires (subarctic wetlands) and dramatic fell landscapes

Insider tips

  • ★Book for late evening departures (9–10 PM in summer) to catch the full midnight sun effect rather than midday walks
  • ★Bring insect repellent in summer months—mosquitoes thrive in the mires
  • ★Dress in waterproof layers; the terrain includes wet boggy sections regardless of season

Good to know

  • •Easy walking pace; no mountaineering experience needed but sturdy waterproof hiking boots strongly recommended
  • •Tour operates year-round: midnight sun schedule runs June 1–August 15; sunset walks after that date
  • •Meet at Pyhä-Luosto fell area (confirm exact trailhead location with operator); typically small group size
