Your walk begins along the Päiviö Path, climbing gently through Lapland's autumn forest as golden leaves crunch underfoot. Your guide points out the season's berries — lingonberries, cloudberries and bilberries — ready for picking, and shares how these plants have sustained the region's people for generations.
Midway through the hike, you reach a scenic viewpoint over the Ounas River, where the autumn colours reflect on the water. Here the group gathers around an open fire for a break, sipping freshly brewed coffee and roasting traditional cinnamon buns on a stick before continuing the walk.
