About Riisitunturi National Park

Riisitunturi National Park

Riisitunturi National Park occupies a distinctive position in Finland's protected areas network as a mountainous park in southern Lapland, an area where true alpine terrain becomes increasingly rare. The park's terrain rises from surrounding forests to form the prominent Riisitunturi fell, a twin-peaked ridge that serves as the park's visual anchor and primary landmark. The underlying geology and climate create conditions favoring extensive wetland development, with hillside swamps being a particularly characteristic feature throughout the park. These mires and marshes play important ecological roles while also contributing to the visual character of the landscape. The park's relatively compact size of 77 square kilometers contains a remarkably diverse range of habitats, from old-growth spruce forests on lower slopes to more open fell vegetation at higher elevations. The protection of this mountainous landscape ensures that one of Finland's distinctive southern Lapland environments remains preserved for ecological, recreational, and cultural purposes.
