Great walk in the snowy landscape of Riisitunturi - My husband and I joined the trip to Riisitunturi National Park with Book Lapland. Our guide, Arthur, made this experience unforgettable. We spend a few hours walking through the snowy landscape of the national park and admiring trees covered in snow. We ended our experience on a bonfire, preparing our sausages and chatting with other members of the group. Arthur brought a generous amount of supplies, including marshmallows. We really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere that he created, and the views of frozen trees are quite otherworldly. The walk itself was quite light and easy for anyone to do, but bring a warm jacket. Overall, great experience, definitely recommend.

Nice but a little too expensive tour - Great tour! Our guide Samuli was very nice and accommodating. There were even vegetarian sausages for me to grill. However, I find the tour very expensive, for actually hiking "only" 4km in the national park and having a small BBQ. The round trip is 2h each.
