Anárjohka National Park, National park in Karasjok Municipality, Norway.
Anárjohka National Park is a large protected area in northern Norway covering diverse habitats across two municipalities. The landscape combines birch forests, open moorlands, wetlands, lakes, and tundra plateaus that change with elevation and terrain.
The park was established in 1975 as part of Norway's early efforts to protect northern wilderness. This designation helped safeguard the region's ecosystems and traditional land use practices over the long term.
The territory holds substantial importance for the Sami people who maintain traditional reindeer grazing practices within twelve designated winter units.
The best time to visit is from July to August when weather conditions are more stable for hiking and exploring. During these months, trails and waterways are more accessible and daylight hours are extended.
The park is home to northern red-backed voles, rodents from Siberia not typically found in other European regions. These small creatures live alongside brown bears and wolverines in a northern food web.
