Finland’s great outdoors is freely available for all who want to enjoy it, but in your own interests and out of respect for fellow hikers, it pays to be prepared. Read guides and study maps before departure to make the most of your trip, and don't forget to exercise regularly before the holiday to make your trek as pleasant as possible.

Some areas are designated as hiking areas in Finland, and options in these places vary in length and terrain, from nature trails of just a few kilometres in Evo in southern Finland to the 133-kilometre so-called Bear (Karhu) Trail in the north-west.
