這次來芬蘭的旅遊太棒了，導遊Mario很熱情，人也很好，旅遊途中也會一直和我們互動，完全不會有語言不通的冷場情況。 晚上的追光旅程享受了美味的BBQ，還更換了一個更適合的地點追光，美麗的星空、極光，絕對不虛此行。 隔天很幸運的也是Mario帶我們去冰瀑健行，壯麗的冰瀑景色令人印象深刻，雖然回程爬坡比較累一點，但是還是很有趣的體驗🤣🤣🤣

Jacub in 2 ore e’ riuscito ad organizzarci l’uscita la sera stessa nonostante l’abbiamo chiamato alle 18. Mario, la guida nonostante la giovane età si è dimostrato competente e caparbio. Nonostante le previsioni non ottime e’ riuscito dopo tanto vagare a farci vedere l’aurora boreale sulla nostra testa . Consigliato

Dalla scelta delle location perfette per ammirare l’aurora boreale alla spiegazione di come avviene il fenomeno naturale, ci siamo sempre sentiti seguiti e al sicuro. Un’esperienza magica resa ancora più speciale dalla nostra guida Mario, competente, gentile e attento. Consigliatissima! ✨

Con LAPLAND ESCAPE abbiamo fatto l’escursione di caccia all’aurora boreale con bbq ed è stata una bellissima esperienza, le guide Mario ed Anita sono state gentilissime, ci hanno raccontato aneddoti riguardanti l’aurora boreale, ci hanno coinvolti e ci hanno portati in più punti panoramici e alla fine siamo riusciti a vedere l’aurora boreale!!! Anita mi ha aiutata con i miei bambini, mi ha fornito due coperte per tenerli al caldo, è stata molto gentile! Siamo molto contenti e se torneremo a Rovaniemi faremo altre escursioni con loro!!!

Z biurem Lapland Escape zobaczyliśmy renifery, jeździliśmy psim zaprzęgiem i polowaliśmy na zorzę polarną. Jakub odebrał nas spod apartamentu i towarzyszył na przez cały czas. Tłumaczył dzieciom to czego nie rozumiały i generalnie przez cały czas był pomocny. Wszystko nam się podobało i z przyjemnością polecamy Lapland Escape. Jakub zorganizował nam również przejażdżkę skuterami śnieżnymi w zaprzyjaźnionym biurze.

Consiglio Lapland Escape a tutti. Jakub é una persona molto competente e sempre attentissima alle esigente del cliente. Noi abbiamo fatto giro con renne e visita alla fattoria, corsa 5 km con Husky e caccia all’aurora boreale. Tutto perfetto e magnifico. Ci ritorneremo.. e sempre con Jakub 😊

Explore Auttiköngäs Waterfall and the Ancient Forests of Lapland

Leave Rovaniemi behind and discover one of Finnish Lapland’s most impressive natural attractions on a guided Auttiköngäs hiking tour from Rovaniemi. Surrounded by protected northern forest, steep riverbanks and dramatic rocky landscapes, Auttiköngäs offers a peaceful escape into the Arctic wilderness.

The trail leads through dense taiga forest beside the flowing Auttijoki River, with wooden walkways, forest paths and scenic viewpoints along the route. The highlight is the powerful Auttiköngäs Waterfall, where the river rushes through the rocky canyon and into the forest below.

This guided experience combines beautiful Lapland scenery, outdoor adventure and a relaxing wilderness barbecue, making it an excellent day trip for travellers who want to explore beyond Rovaniemi’s main attractions.

A Guided Hiking Tour from Rovaniemi

Your experience begins with transportation from Rovaniemi towards Auttiköngäs, located deep in the forests of Finnish Lapland. During the journey, the city landscape gradually disappears and is replaced by rivers, forests and quiet countryside.

At Auttiköngäs, your guide will lead you along the nature trail and help you explore the area safely. You will walk through old-growth forest, cross wooden paths and climb rocky sections while learning more about Lapland’s nature, local wildlife and the history of the area.

The varied terrain and changes in elevation make the route more engaging than an ordinary forest walk. There will also be opportunities to pause, take photographs and enjoy the silence of the surrounding wilderness.

Discover One of the Most Beautiful Waterfalls Near Rovaniemi

Auttiköngäs is widely considered one of the finest waterfalls in Finland. The water drops through a narrow rocky section of the Auttijoki River, creating an impressive natural cascade surrounded by forest.

The landscape changes noticeably throughout the hiking season. During summer, the forest is green and full of life, while autumn transforms the area with vivid shades of yellow, orange and red. This makes Auttiköngäs one of the best destinations for an autumn hiking tour from Rovaniemi.

Away from busy roads and crowded city attractions, the trail provides an opportunity to experience the quieter and more authentic side of Lapland.

Enjoy a Wilderness BBQ by the Open Fire

After exploring the trail, you will stop at a traditional outdoor fireplace to relax and enjoy a freshly prepared wilderness barbecue.

The meal includes grilled chicken fillet with bread and grilled vegetables, followed by marshmallows for dessert. Hot berry juice will also be served beside the fire.

This peaceful break is an important part of the experience. It gives you time to warm up, enjoy the surroundings and experience the Finnish tradition of gathering around an open fire during a day in nature.

Experience Lapland in a Small Group

The tour is organised in a small group, allowing for a more personal and relaxed hiking experience. Instead of following a large crowd, you can move at a comfortable pace, ask your guide questions and take time to appreciate the landscape.

Small-group tours are also better suited to the narrow forest paths and peaceful atmosphere of Auttiköngäs. Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with friends or as a family, the experience offers an accessible way to explore Lapland’s wilderness with the support of a local guide.

A Perfect Summer and Autumn Activity in Rovaniemi

The Auttiköngäs Waterfall hiking tour is particularly beautiful during summer and autumn. Summer offers long daylight hours, green forests and flowing rivers, while autumn brings the colourful foliage known in Finland as ruska.

This tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers and active travellers looking for a memorable outdoor experience near Rovaniemi. No advanced hiking experience is required, but participants should be comfortable walking on forest paths, stairs and uneven rocky terrain.
