MyTrail - Nature Experiences with Local Guides
Welcome to the North – where the forest speaks, and the silence tells a story.
At MyTrail Finland, we offer nature experiences that lead you deep into the wild beauty of Kuusamo and Finnish Lapland. Our excursions are guided by local Finns who know these lands by heart – the secret paths, the stories behind the landscape, the rhythm of the seasons. This is our home, and we love sharing it with you.
In winter, we explore snow-covered forests on snowshoes, light crampons, or skinbased skis, depending on the conditions. In summer and autumn, we follow forest trails under endless daylight or vibrant autumn colours.
Whether you’re walking through the silent, snow-covered landscapes of Riisitunturi National Park or hiking along the rivers and forests of Oulanka National Park, each experience is designed to help you connect with nature — slowly, meaningfully, and respectfully.
We keep our groups small (1–8 people) to ensure a personal and relaxed atmosphere. Private tours are also available for those looking for a more tailored experience.
Explore destinations like Riisitunturi National Park, Oulanka National Park, Hossa National Park, Salla, and Syöte National Park — and let the forest show you its quiet magic.
Your trail begins here.
