FULL MOON SNOWSHOE TOUR IN RIISITUNTURI NATIONAL PARK

Private night tour to the top of the fell and to the taiga forest in moonlight

Discover the otherworldly beauty of Riisitunturi National Park under the light of the full moon. Known for its iconic snow-covered trees (tykky) and breathtaking fell-top views, Riisitunturi transforms into a mystical wonderland on winter nights. The silver-blue glow of the moon illuminates the snowy landscapes, casting shadows and revealing the serene magic of this Arctic world.

This guided snowshoeing tour takes you into the heart of the park, where you’ll follow trails winding through snow-laden forests and ascend to scenic viewpoints. The fells provide panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness, with the moonlit horizon stretching as far as the eye can see.

This magical nature excursion is available only when it is full moon time. A couple of days before and after the full moon, we still have so much light that if the sky is clear, we don't necessarily need headlamps.
