It is easy to imagine the stone age people living here fishing and hunting. The summit area is open stone fields where excellent duck boards have been set to make it possible to admire this exceptional view over taiga forests.

Gorgeous tour in Lapland wilderness - The tour comprises a trip in the lappish taiga forest within a restricted area. During the travel to the area, it's very likely to see animals of the lappish fauna such as reindeers and mooses.
After 1km hike it's possibile to admire an amazing landscape and feel the power of silence. Then our guide prepare a barbecue with typical finnish food, telling interesting stories about history of Lapland and culture of the country. Absolutely recommended!
