ABOUT MYTRAIL
Discover the North Like a Local
Welcome to MyTrail Finland
At MyTrail Finland (MunPolku in Finnish), we invite you to experience the magic of northern nature through the eyes of a local. Nestled in the heart of Kuusamo and its surrounding areas, we offer private, tailored experiences that connect you deeply with the wilderness of Finland’s Arctic Circle.
Imagine wandering through snow-covered forests, hearing only the soft crunch of snow underfoot and the gentle whisper of the wind. Picture sitting by a crackling fire, listening to stories about life in the North, Finnish myths, and the timeless relationship between people and nature. With MyTrail, you don’t just visit Finland—you feel it.
We know the trails less traveled and the hidden gems that most visitors miss. Whether it’s hiking in Oulanka, exploring the breathtaking views of Riisitunturi, or immersing yourself in the serenity of Hossa, Salla, and Syöte National Parks, we’ll guide you through the landscapes that make our home so special.
Tailored Experiences, Nordic Style
Our private day tours are designed to match your pace and interests. Whether you’re looking to explore Arctic forests, wander barefoot on soft moss, or learn the traditional skill of reading snow, we’ll create an experience that’s uniquely yours. Prefer a slower pace? No problem. Our easy-going excursions are perfect for soaking in the peace and quiet of the northern wilderness.

We're treehuggers, forest folk
We have a lot of trees in Finland and yes, sometimes we burn them in campfires. Campfires are used to dry clothes, keep us warm, or cook food. We don't make campfire for fun. Metsähallitus and its economic forests supply firewood to public fireplaces.
Each time we have a campfire, we plant a tree. 63 trees were planted in 2023. We also compensate part of the impact of our tours by supporting The Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation which owns a growing number of conservation areas all around Finland.

Me and my trail
My reason for being in Kuusamo is the same as yours - nature. We have a proper winter, a wonderful summer, and six other seasons. The beauty of nature is incredible, and then there is The Silence. You have to hear it for yourselves to understand what I mean.
I'm also from the south, from Helsinki. However, I have always spent most of my free time hiking, camping, skiing, and exploring the north since I was a child. It's been a long time since I moved here permanently. As the days passed, I spent more and more time in the woods, leaving office work behind. With MyTrail (MunPolku in Finnish), I combined my love of nature with my work as a guide and yoga instructor. Here I am and there is no turning back. I love this area, nature around me, a pace of living that follows the rhythm of nature. I want to pick berries for breakfast and make my tea from spring water. I want to breathe clean air, feel the moss under my bare feet, eat snow and swim in the lakes.
We locals love and respect the nature around us, and we hope you do, too. We are happy to share all this with you, teach you something about it, and show you its beauty.
