AUTTIKÖNGÄS WATER FALLS & NATURE TRAIL 3.5KM, HALF-DAY TOUR

Highlights

  • Admire the impressive 16-metre-high waterfall, one of the area's main natural attractions.
  • Explore pristine old-growth forests that have remained untouched by commercial logging.
  • Follow a moderately challenging trail through the beautiful wilderness of Finnish Lapland.
  • Experience the dramatic gorge using specially built bridges, stairs, and walkways.
  • Discover rugged hills, rocky terrain, and spectacular views of Lapland's untouched nature.
Embark on an exhilarating 3.5 km hike along the Auttiköngas trail, designed for the adventurous spirit. This moderate hike offers beautiful views and a chance to explore the stunning natural landscapes of Lapland. The trail features a moderate elevation, offering a satisfying challenge for those looking to enhance their hiking skills while enjoying breathtaking scenery. Along the way, you’ll encounter well-constructed metal structures that facilitate your journey through the gorge. These steps and bridges provide stability and safety as you navigate the diverse terrain. The forest in the Auttiköngäs area is so old that it can be called primary or virgin forest. There has never been any organised logging in the area. The terrain is varying and jagged. The top of the large Könkäänvaara Hill reaches a height of 240 m, while Ispinävaara Hill at 190 m is definitely not as high but it is much steeper. Auttiköngäs is a dream-come-true destination for day trip visitors. The area´s main sight and attraction is the 16-metre-high Auttiköngäs Falls.
