THE MELODY OF THE ÄKÄSJOKI

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"The river flows just there under the first bridge. After a kilometer in the woods observing the tracks of wildlife, we meet with it again as we hike a wooden footbridge.  Let's have a stop. And let's look at the backdrop of the boreal forest aligned with the rapids. The colors of the rising or setting sun are often sublime. One more kilometer and we could head straight to a small hut to share a snack around the fireplace, but I want to show you that river again from the top of a hidden cliff. Could it be as sacred as the one near the stairs leading to the hut? Another kilometer to cover, then let's listen one more time to the melodies of Äkäsjoki. Wait! I may take you further upstream where some old barns, granaries, and watermill recall the ancient times of that river located on the edge of Yllästunturi National Park."

"When the path opens onto this landscape, barely 300 meters traveled, it is a blast of immensity, freedom, beauty, pure air... in short, the great north.

INCURSION INTO THE SEVEN FELLS TERRITORY

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"I don't know of a more beautiful place to admire the beauty of the vegetation trapped in the magma of snow and frost of the Lappish winter. We go there to walk with eyes of wonder, at the pace of a reindeer, not to trail and reach high summits, even if the route offers some plunging views of the territory of the "Seven Fells".

BEAUTIFUL LAPLAND

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"In Finnish Lapland, we don't need high mountains to get rewarded with grand and breathtaking views. What an amazing world that fell unveils when we reach its summit! On so many occasions it becomes a patchwork of lights and colors, mountains and lakes, bogs and forests. In every direction, there is so much to contemplate. On our way back we stop in a large open kota and have lunch by the fireplace. Maybe you will also have the privilege to make a special encounter with the Siberian jay or other tits!? "

THE BLACK HILL

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"Something is truly fascinating when you wander in the Hangaskuru Valley. When the Winter sunshine plunges into it then it's to offer us the most gorgeous lights of the season. Also, you can sense some kind of adventure spirit when you realize that you're entering into a place that is inaccessible the rest of the year because of some very spongious grounds and multiple creeks or streams running through it. For a complete experience, then it is good to go on a higher ground and reach the top of the "Little Black Hill" from where you can admire the gentle lines of the Pallas Fells range and that valley we explored earlier. Over the years I got to meet some neat wildlife up there among the snow-packed trees. I hope you receive that special treat from nature too!"

PALLAS PERSPECTIVES

YOUR GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"This snowshoeing route is one of a kind. It combines a section of the challenging adventure "Five Fells Up" and a section of the easy "Great Lake" hike. Because, yes, I wanted to offer you a discovery of the Pallas National Park like no other agency does, namely from different angles, among the most beautiful I must say. We start at altitude with a spectacular view of the park's lake, and we conclude with a meal in a cabin on the shores of this same lake facing the mountains that we hiked earlier.

THE CONQUEST OF KERÄSKERO

THE GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"Let's take this path once walked by Montelli and the inhabitants of the village in the valley! At first, it is a path in a small gorge among the large fir and black spruce trees of the boreal forest. Then, it is a path of mountain birches which resist the harshest climate. The small cabin built in 1945 guards the last slopes to the summit. We'll come back to it later today. But before that, we want to reach one of those Arctic mountains full of views in all directions of the compass rose. Panoramic views are worth the constant climb, which is rewarded with a hearty lunch in a kota before starting the descent."

OXYGEN 11


THE GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"Few years ago, a local media asked me as a guide which spot was my favorite one in the whole region. I'm in love with so many but if I had to choose then I answered this one that I've called "Oxygen". Read about it. It takes you to the top of an unique fell where you can breathe the purest air in the world and where you can let yourself be amazed by the panoramic view of the whole mountains of Pallas National Park. The view has a very specific angle that you can't get from anywhere else. The lonely trees exposed to the freezing winds and the snow storms add to the landscape. After a bit demanding ascend we go down into the forest where a lovely hut is ready to welcome us for a solid lunch. Nearby you won't miss that old authentic log cabin which marries with nature so well. And just because it is so beautiful we have added one more kilometer in 2023. Now you're ready to hike the "Oxygen 11" trip, a unique itinerary made in Lappitrek. "

FIVE FELLS UP

THE GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"And one! And two! And three! And four! And five! A tour of the five most beautiful summits in the region is on the menu for this ups-and-down hike that only Lappitrek is able to offer to those who want to rock the day in a dream setting. To guarantee splendid views, this very sporty adventure is only carried out in clear weather. In the polar night, these mountains are wrapped in pastel colors. Under the Arctic sun, the snow sparkles brightly on their slopes. At sunrise or sunset, these peaks are a privilege, not a chore. The motivation is there at every step. As for strength, we take it at lunchtime in a hut nestled at the bottom of a small valley near a stream. To leave stronger and gather even more memories."

A FINNISH DAY 
 
THE GUIDE'S INVITATION:

"The true Finnish way of life is a good snowshoeing hike to the top of one of the highest fells in the area followed by a long relaxing time in a luxury sauna by the lake. We have created that exciting combo of two great moments of adventure as the sites of these two are separated by only one kilometer!  Save your whole day for this program as we will try to rediscover the virtues of uniting ourselves with the natural elements and slowing down the pace of our lives. Indeed that hike cannot be a round trip rush to the summit forgetting to enjoy the wide-angle views of the lakes on both sides of the mountain, the immense taiga that stretches to the Swedish border, and the long range of Pallas fells. Likewise, a sauna experience cannot be a schedule to obey. We will take time to discover the different Lappish atmospheres filling the several sauna rooms, and of course to take a few dips in the icy water in the refreshing waters of the lake."
