    Awesome fells, and view of and from them. Especially during mid-September when the autumn colours (Ruska) are at their best. So many nice hiking trails to try.  more »

    The laser light show in the sky was "on point"! Would have given it 5 stars but had to kill reindeer and climb inside to stay warm definitely killed my buzz.

    Great hiking area with beautiful views and clean nature, but better come prepared for the weather. There are some free to use cabins around the area

    Such a beautiful place! Went for cross-country skiing at this national park. It was my first time doing cross-country skiing and I didn’t have any skiing gear, rented full set of equipment from the rental shop at the entrance cost 15€. The snow fall made my entire skiing experience extraordinary!

    Beautiful Lapland nature with well maintained trails and vast area to roam.
  • By Carl Irjala
    I have a two-week hike in Urho Kekkonen National Park behind me. The hiking routes are excellent and there are many rest and camp sites in the area. I slept in my hammock but I saw many who carried a tent with them. If you are interested in studying a clean nature, I recommend you to visit UKK National Park. Visitors who respect the rules for setting up a campfire, who carrying the garbage to the starting point and those who respect the rules for fishing will help to keep the park free of charge in the future as well.
