When the sky is open, sunrises and sunsets here in Riisitunturi are magical! We'll wander around with snowshoes, follow trails and also make our own trails through deep snow, get to know the nature and stories of Riisitunturi and enjoy a trail snack and hot + wild berry juice by the campfire.
Around Christmas, in mid-winter time the sun just bounces on the horizon. The day is so short that it is already dark when we walk back using headlamps. On 21st December we have something very special for you: Winter solstice when the day is as short as it gets. After that polar night is getting shorter and days get longer. On the summit, we'll see the sunrise at 10:42 and sunset at 13:20. The sun only peeks out from the horizon and blue, wintery daylight lasts only few moments. Quite a unique experience, isn't it?
In January the magical blue light surrounds us. Days are slowly getting longer and we get 5-8 minutes more daylight every day. Join early departures (8 am) for sunrise and late departures (12) for sunset. We start our sunrise adventure early enough to see the pastel colors of the arctic sunrise. If you choose to see the sunset it is already dusk when we start heading back and the stars start to light up.
In February we start to get more sunlight and in March is spring winter time. Then we have long days, sun, snow and even more snow. In March sun rises only for real early-birds. Please contact us about sunrise departures in March.
Duration is 3-4 hours + transfers and the length with snowshoes is 4-6 km. Your guide chooses the route and distance depending on current conditions. The route is moderately easy and suitable for everyone who is able to walk the same distance.
This tour is private, exclusively for you and your family or friends. Ask about other departure times as well.
