Riisitunturi National Park
Riisitunturi National Park is located in Posio, southern Finnish Lapland, near the Koillismaa region. It showcases the best of Finland’s fell and hill landscapes, with colourful hanging bogs, sweeping views from treeless summits, and deep northern forests.
From the top of Riisitunturi Fell, visitors can admire breathtaking scenery over Lake Kitkajärvi and the forested wilderness of Posio. In winter, the snow-covered spruces create an enchanting white forest that draws photographers and nature lovers alike.
The park lies at the highest point of the watershed between the Bay of Bothnia and the White Sea. It is home to iconic wildlife like bears and lynxes, which roam freely through nearly 100 square kilometres of untouched taiga. Generations of trees, mosses, fungi, and insects live and decompose here, forming a vibrant, self-renewing ecosystem.
