Canyon hike in Oulanka national park - long excursion

Imagine a view of a river with crystal clear water flowing in a deep gorge, surrounded by ancient taiga forest. Feel the soft moss under your bare feet and breathe in the fresh air of the pine trees. Now that is nature!

Through the old and diverse forest landscape, we reach the edge of the narrow and stony Oulanka River Canyon. A magnificent view can be enjoyed from the steep rock cliffs of the Oulanka canyon. After crossing the suspension bridge we start following Finland's most famous hiking trail, Karhunkierros (Big Bear's Trail). The trail takes us to Taivalköngäs rapids, where we prepare our trail lunch by the fire.

Duration 7 hours of walking, 1 hour for a lunch break by the fire, transfers from Ruka 1+1 hours. The walking distance is 13 km. Our pace allows us to rest, enjoy snacks, and take pictures along the way.

The tour is private and requires a minimum of 2 people. Please inquire about our solo traveler rates if you will be traveling alone.
