Pyhä-Luosto National Park is a peaceful spot between the resorts of Pyhä and Luosto. It offers a magnificent landscape to explore by hiking or cycling. It’s also a great place for calming down and enjoying Lapland’s exceptional nature.
The first snow reaches the North around October–November. A white blanket covers the ground as the temperatures drop below zero. It’s still an optimal time for hiking, as the sun still surrenders some of its warmth during the daytime.
