The Vikakongas Hike is a 4km trek through forest terrain about 25 minutes from Rovaniemi, running year-round.
The trail passes through Lappish forest scenery that shifts with the seasons – snow-covered in winter, green in summer, and turning color in autumn.
Partway along the route, the trail reaches a wooden watching tower, where you can pause for warm drinks and biscuits.
From the tower, take in a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding landscape before continuing the hike.
