Pyh\u00e4-Luosto National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Finland. The core of the park is the southernmost fell range in Finland. Guided three-day well-being hike offers hikers the opportunity to immerse in the diverse nature of Pyh\u00e4-Luosto and focus on one\u00b4s own well-being. Just under 40-kilometers hike starting in Luosto, takes us through old coniferous forests, bogs and rocky ravines and gorges. On the last day of the hike, we ascent area\u00b4s highest fell Noitatunturi.<\/p>\n
We organize two similar guided hikes in Pyh\u00e4-Luosto National Park in autumn of 2022.<\/p>\n
Pyh\u00e4-Luosto National Park is its relatively easily accessible by public transport and both hikes are planned with bus and train connections in mind. By train, you can conveniently reach Kemij\u00e4rvi and Rovaniemi and from there Pyh\u00e4-Luosto area by bus or taxi. You can check bus timetables from Matkahuolto<\/a> and Getting to Pyh\u00e4.<\/a><\/p>\n Preliminary registration can be done by dropping us an email to sampo@polkunaturetours.fi<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Please include your information such as name, surname, phone number and which hike are you planning to attend (HIKE & DREAM IN A TENT or HIKE & DREAM IN A HUT). We are more than happy to answer, if you have any questions concerning hikes, equipment, transport or other.<\/p>\n It is possible to borrow and rent equipment, such as a sleeping bag, sleeping pad etc. Participants will be sent a more detailed list of equipment, a safety plan and information on how to prepare before the trip. Test your own gear before you go, especially hiking shoes or boots. If you are in a doubt about the suitability of your equipment, please ask our guide in advance.<\/p>\n Both hikes follow marked trails and day trips are moderate. However, the terrain in Pyh\u00e4-Luosto National Park is at places challenging due to height differences and rocky terrain. Hiking is an adventure so not everything can be anticipated. Equipment may get wet, blisters may form on the feet, and weather can change from sunny to rainy very quickly. An experienced and understanding guide will support you in these situations and advise you on how to best overcome challenges.<\/p>\n It is possible for participants of the either of the two hikes to take a backcountry kitchen course before the hike. This meal planning course is organised by wilderness guide Sonja Lassila. Sonja specializes in hiking food and meals, and she also prepares the closing lunch.<\/p>\n Food is of great importance on a hike and that\u2019s why we offer participant hikers the opportunity to attend this hiking meal planning course.

Course includes ideas for easy meal packages, tested and proven recipes, instructions for drying food at home and packing advice.<\/p>\n During the course, you can ask Sonja for advice concerning special diets and other things concerning your own eating habits and needs.
