Summer and Midnight Sun Magic: Private Hiking Adventure in Riisitunturi

Hike into the heart of Lapland’s summer magic with a private guided adventure in Riisitunturi National Park—your choice of a peaceful daytime hike or a once-in-a-lifetime experience under the midnight sun (available until the end of July).

This hike is all about soaking in the natural beauty, calm atmosphere, and endless light of the Arctic summer. Your local guide will lead you through Riisitunturi’s fairytale-like forests, where old spruce trees stand and the mossy ground feels like walking on a forest cloud. The trail gently climbs toward the open fell tops, where the views stretch far over glimmering lakes, colorful wetlands, and distant hills.

You can hike in the quiet of a sunlit day or embrace the surreal beauty of the nightless night, when the sun hangs low on the horizon but never disappears. In this light, every tree casts a golden shadow, and the whole landscape feels touched by magic. Either way, the peaceful atmosphere and dramatic scenery are sure to leave a lasting impression.

At the summit, we’ll pause for pictures and have a relaxed break and a cozy campfire snack when it feels like it. Your guide will share stories of the local nature, Sámi culture, and everyday life in the Arctic Circle.

This hike is suitable for everyone—from curious beginners to seasoned nature lovers. Your guide will tailor the pace, route, and focus according to your wishes, making the experience as gentle, adventurous, or informative as you’d like. Whether you’re after quiet reflection, family fun, or great photos, we’ve got you covered.
