HOSSA NATIONAL PARK DAY TRIP - private tour

Step into the calm of Hossa, Finland’s newest national park, where crystal-clear lakes, silent pine forests, and prehistoric rock art bring the past to life.

On this guided day hike, peaceful trails lead you along ridgelines and lakeshores while your local guide shares stories of the area’s cultural heritage – from shamanic traditions to the famous Värikallio rock paintings, created over 5,000 years ago.

Hossa is where wild beauty and ancient mystery meet: a landscape of pure northern nature, shaped by time and silence, with human history written on its cliffs.

Your local guide will take you to one of two stunning highlights. Choose your route based on your interests and hiking experience:

Värikallio Rock Paintings – 8 km hike to a cliffside covered in ancient rock paintings, some over 5000 years old
Julma-Ölkky Canyon Lake – dramatic 10 km loop trail. (Julma-Ölkky rock paintings can be seen only from the boat and we can also arrange that (ask about extra costs).
Värikallio + Laukkujärvi - 20 km immersive experience for those wanting a full-day connection with nature
Laukkujärvi circle - A scenic 11 km forest-and-lake trail that brings the calm of deep wilderness
Kokalmus Lake - A peaceful 14 km route through pine woods and past crystal-clear waters. Bring your swimming suit with you!

Whichever path you choose, the experience is powerful: shimmering waters, wind in the pines, and stories etched into stone from a time before written language.
