Rank : 8.9 (average on 7 votes)

Coordinates : 66.226362, 28.493712 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Beautiful landscapes, especially in winter when the trees are completely covered by a thick blanket of snow and ice. Although the area has a hilly course, and there are no big reliefs, from the top of some hills you can see beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

Recommended equipment : Wide-angle, standard zoom and telephoto zoom; I personally have always used the 16-70, but for some shots would return a comfortable 70-200. Also tripod Council and spare batteries: with extreme cold battery life is noticeably reduced.

Best months : All the year; But the most spectacular scenery you can take pictures of winter.

How to get there : The park has three main entrances (see http://www.nationalparks.fi/en/riisitunturinp/directionsandmaps); we parked in front of the entrance near Tolva and from there we started hiking.

Visits : Free visit, without timetables.

Notes : In winter the temperatures are very strict, often fall to -10 or -20, and have been recorded even peaks of -40 degrees; it is therefore necessary to bring appropriate clothing, in particular for hands and feet which tend to freeze easily. When there is snow shoeing are strongly recommended.
