Pyhä-Luosto National Park
Getting around: About 130km northeast of Rovaniemi; a car is practical for reaching either the Pyha or Luosto resort areas.
Hours: Open year-round, no fee; ski resorts operate their own winter schedules; hiking best June-September.
Pyha-Luosto spans fell terrain between two small ski resort villages, with some of the oldest exposed bedrock in Finland and dramatic gorges — distinctive terrain for a country mostly known for flatter landscapes. A long-distance trail connects the two resorts through the park.
Given the distance from Rovaniemi, an overnight stay in one of the villages makes more sense than a single day trip.
