Riisitunturi National Park, National Park in Posio, Finland
The Riisitunturi mountains feature sloping bogs and dense forests across 77 square kilometers of protected natural terrain in southern Lapland.
The establishment of this national park in 1982 marked a significant step in preserving the natural ecosystems of the Finnish Lapland region.
The park territory holds connections to traditional Sami communities who maintained reindeer herding practices in these northern landscapes for generations.
Visitors can access 29 kilometers of marked trails, with options for both summer hiking and winter activities like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
During winter months, moisture from the bogs creates thick frost formations on spruce trees, transforming the forest into a white landscape.
