Muonio is a village up in the north of Finland. Most tourists visit Muonio as a stepping stone to attractions like the gorgeous Pallas-Yllastunturi National Park. This landscape of endless white, towering trees glittering with frost, and dreamy night skies invites visitors to try its challenging but rewarding hikes. Even if your schedule does not accommodate trips out to the National Park, there’s plenty to do in or around Muonio. Encounters with Finland’s famous reindeer can be arranged at various reindeer farms and parks, and there’s always a chance of spotting wild ones roaming about. Historic sites like ancient 18th-century fishing cabins will also give you insights into the lives of Muonio’s forefathers. While there are plenty of tours offering to show you around Muonio, a great way to get to know the locals and their hometown is by living with and amongst them.
