Finland Hiking & Walking Tours

Discover Finland

Peaceful forest trails descend to pristine, mirror-like lakes and across sloping eskers toward distant Helsinki and the shores of the Baltic Sea. A walking tour of Finland immerses you in an untouched wilderness that appears today much as it has throughout history.

The centennial celebration of Finland’s independence in 2017 marked the opening of the nation’s 40th national park, adding to an already superb assembly of natural land preserves that is often regarded by hikers of all skill levels as unparalleled the world over.

Whether the goal of your walking tour of Finland is to explore its sprawling woodlands, charming coastal villages, or to discover the archipelagos and sophisticated squares of its capital city, Helsinki, you’ll find a destination where outdoor activity and contemporary culture unite like nowhere else in the world. Above all, when you walk here, you’ll come to understand the Finns’ eternal fondness for their land, from the ancestral reindeer-herders of Lapland to modern-day kayakers.

Sea Air & Fine Food

Locals and travelers alike converge daily at Helsinki’s Market Square, where the day begins with fresh brewed coffee and warm munkki, Finnish doughnuts. Stay for lunch and enjoy a karelian pie prepared from fresh rye flour and filled potatoes and rice, or to stock up on salmiakki, Finland’s famed artisan black licorice.

Walk Under the Midnight Sun

Midsummer in Lapland displays life as it is rarely seen: without night. Here, a single summer day lasts for over two months, where day-long outdoor activities conclude with friends around bonfires that burn in perpetual twilight.
