The Riisitunturi National Park stands among Lapland’s most enchanting landscapes, renowned for the surreal "tykky" snow sculptures that transform trees into towering, otherworldly shapes. This full-day expedition invites you to walk through pristine forests, across silent snowfields and to panoramic vantage points that reveal sweeping Arctic vistas. The route is designed to showcase the best of Riisitunturi’s winter character: delicate wind-sculpted ridges, wide-open fell views and clusters of sculpted trees that glow in changing light.
