Katkavaara – Sunset at the Arctic Circle

Join our nature experts and enjoy our little nature trip and come admiring exceptionally beautiful mountain landscape in Katkavaara – the mountain area of southern Lapland. Take pictures in the evening light and enjoy the sound of silence. During this program we also barbeque by open fire in a typical Lappish tepee and learn some old Finnish mythology and shamanism.

Katkavaara is an exceptionally beautiful little mountain where you can see the ancient sea sides easily telling their story from the time 7 000 years ago. 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. If the sky is clear we may admire the arctic sunset as well. Anyway you find the night light even if the sun is behind clouds. The best view is from a wooden tower that has been made for admiring this exceptional view.

Please check the departure time when reserving as it changes depending on the month.

Available in late April, early May and August – October. Welcome!
