Särkitunturi is a low and relatively easily accessible fell in Muonio, Western Lapland. There is a 3-kilometer-long (1,9 mi) trail that leads to its summit. The path is popular and often so compacted that it is easy to traverse in the winter, for example, with snowshoes. This photo series shows what it’s like to view […]
In paid collaboration with Kestävästi kasvua kesään Itä-Lapissa -project In the morning, the weather forecast for the day was looking grim, giving us reason to consider back-up options for our trip to the fell.

One of the best times to enjoy the beauty of Lapland is March. There’s still lots of snow and even auroras, but also plenty of sunlight. I took these pictures on an ordinary Monday afternoon just days ago, when me and my husband went to the top of Oratunturi fell to see the sunset. A […]
Today Finland is turning 100 years and celebrated it by lighting up one of Finlands most iconic fell, Saana. All the way up north in the town of Kilpisjärvi stands 1029 meters above sea level a fell of which everyone in Finland knows. We went to see how it looks like and it was magnificent.
One of my favourite places in the world is Pyhä-Luosto National Park. Fells are all that is left of ancient mountains. Although Pyhä-Luosto is a skiresort with extensive winter activities, I think the most magical time to visit this park is Summer or Autumn. Here are a few pictures that I have taken over the […]
