For daytrippers, <\/span>Tankavaara’s trails<\/span><\/a> are recommended. From Tankavaara you can access a number of nature trails of different length, the shortest of which is only 1km long, the Urpiainen, and the longest is the 7 km long Geological trail. Marked trails are suitable for less experienced hikers, and some of the routes are also maintained during winter.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re thinking about doing a multi-day hike in the summer or autumn and you have hiking experience, we recommend <\/span>Ruijanpolku<\/span><\/a>, a 35 km trail between Sompio lake and Saariselk\u00e4 with views of the Nattanen fells.<\/span><\/p>\n
