Oulanka National Park 

Oulanka is a nature photographer's paradise, and the Rivers Oulankajoki and Kitkajoki running through the park offer splendid opportunities for canoeing, paddle boarding and whitewater rafting. The River Oulankajoki is also a joining link to the equally impressive Paanajärvi National Park on the Russian side of the border.

Riisitunturi National Park 

The views from the top of Riisitunturi Fell towards Lake Kitkajärvi, the world's largest spring, will sooth every corner of a hiker's soul. In the winter, travellers are struck by the majestic beauty of the silent rows of snow-crowned trees glimmering under the starlit sky, sometimes even bathed in a glorious display of aurora borealis, the northern lights.

Syöte National Park

Syöte pampers mountain biking enthusiasts with routes traversing the hill forests. The stately spruce forests, the rocky block fields and ravines, the open mires and the soaring wooded hills offer you the chance to see a golden eagle gliding through the air, to find some juicy lingonberries and to take a quiet moment just for yourself.

Paanajärvi National Park, Russia

Landscapes of the park are exceptionally picturesque: mountain ridges are split by deep gorges, numerous lakes and various mires, fast streams with frothing rapids and waterfalls break up the terrain. Slopes of hills and valleys are covered with pristine almost untouched forest with spruce domination.
