Be Prepared

Venturing into the Finnish wilderness requires respect for fast-changing weather and low temperatures. Follow our standard safe-travel requirements:

Pre-Register Routes: Always file a plan with local park offices or national rangers prior to entering big wilderness reserves.
Bring Sat-GPS: Mobile signal can die deep inside rocky canyons. Keep offline topographical maps.
Pure Hydration: Even clean-looking stream water in southern regions should be filtered. Learn safe locations to drink wild springs.
