Hike in Vikakongas

Additional Information & Description

Hike in Vikakongas takes you through Lapland’s forests and along a riverside path during the frosty season. This guided outing in Rovaniemi, Finland, puts the walk itself at the centre of a three-hour activity, with a route that returns to its original starting point.

A riverside route through Vikakongas

The hike begins with a 2 km stretch beside the river and a distinctive bridge. From there, the route continues for another 1.6 km, winding back towards the start. That makes 3.6 km of walking in total, combining the riverside section with a return leg rather than ending at a separate destination. The forest setting and the water give the walk its character, with the frosty season shaping the scenery along the path.

Guidance along the trail

A guided tour is included, so you follow the route with a live guide rather than taking a self-guided walk. Guide languages are English, French and Spanish. The three-hour duration covers the activity as a whole; the walking distance gives a more concrete sense of the trail you will cover during the outing.

A fireside pause after the hike

Near the starting point, an open fireplace provides a place to relax once the walking is done. Warm drinks and snacks are included: settle down with coffee or tea and biscuits after completing the route. This stop comes at the end of the hike, giving the outing a distinct finish before the return journey.

Transport, tickets and winter clothing

Pick-up and drop-off are included. Arrive 30 minutes before the activity’s start time. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. A thermal overall and snow boots are not included in the standard price; they are available as an optional extra for €10.
