#solohiking

First you think you are having a coffee and enjoying a nice view, next moment the first snow is blowing straight into your face. Welcome to Finnish Lapland in September. Luckily it did not snow enough to affect walking.

The slopes of Dierpmersvárri (Termisvaara) ascend into Dierpmesjávri (Termisjärvi) in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area. From my hike in September 2025.

Steep slopes of Dierpmersvárri ascending into Dierpmesjávri, with rocky tundra meeting the lake shore in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area.

Unpacking my camp in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. The tent is a Durston X-Mid 1 Solid UL, which I really fell in love with. It handles wind well, has no condensation issues, and feels surprisingly roomy. My only real complaint is that it can be a bit tricky to set up.

Camp being unpacked in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area in Finland, with a Durston X-Mid 1 Solid UL tent pitched on open tundra.

The actual Reisadalen was very impressive, with huge cliff overhangs and a clear river flowing through the valley. Still, the narrow canyon made me feel a bit trapped, so I did not stay there for long and climbed up a fairly steep wall to get out. The feeling of not being alone was also quite strong, even though I only met four people while I was there.

Sun is starting to set in Reisa National Park, Norway. Once again a photo from my one month hike in September 2025. I will have something else to post after the first two weeks of February, once I have finished my ski tour to Pältsan. Might post some planning and gear stuff before that.

Low autumn sun setting over the landscape in Reisa National Park, with warm light hitting hills and tundra as daylight fades in the northern wilderness.

Reindeer stag and his cow searching for lichen to eat. I saw a few of these big stags on my hike, and they are always quite a sight with their massive antlers. Usually reindeer are calm and you do not need to worry about them, but during the mating season in September and October you really do not want to annoy the males, as they can become aggressive.

Reindeer stag with large antlers standing next to a cow on open tundra, both searching for lichen among rocks and low vegetation in a northern landscape.

The magnificent Termisjärvi in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. The small dot in the landscape is a very cozy open wilderness hut. This is a must see place if you ever go hiking in the Käsivarsi area.

I really liked the vast landscapes and September colors of the fjells bordering Reisa National Park. Fjells always make me feel like I can breathe freely and they calm my nerves. The feeling is so different from Helsinki, where I live, that I constantly find myself thinking about moving closer to the fjells.

Wide fjell landscape near Reisa National Park with rolling terrain, open space, and autumn colored vegetation. The scene feels expansive and calm, emphasizing solitude and fresh northern air.

Goofballs of the fjell on the run. Norwegian reindeer got scared of me and took off. Funnily enough, just on the other side of the border in Finland reindeers followed me. This might be because reindeer in Finland are fed during winter, and because there are far more tourists in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area than in Reisa National Park, apart from the canyon itself. They are simply much more used to people.

A quiet moment by the fire as night settles over the fjells. The Reisadalen canyon can be seen beginning its descent in the background. Taken during my one month hike in September 2025.

Hiker sitting beside a small campfire on rocky tundra as evening light fades. A river and the upper reaches of the Reisadalen canyon stretch into the background beneath low clouds and autumn colored vegetation.

A calm, mirror-like pool nestled between rocky cliffs and dense pine forest in Reisa National Park, Norway. From my one month hike in September 2025.

Somewhere down in the valley is my campsite for the following night, but before descending I took a long moment to take in this beautiful scenery. From my one month hike in September 2025.

On my way to Kilpisjärvi through Guhturgurra (Kutturankuru in Finnish) in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, Finland. This photo is from my one-month hike in September.

In Northern Sámi, gurra, and in Finnish, kuru, both refer to a steep and narrow landform. In English, the closest terms are gorge or ravine. Lapland is filled with these landforms because meltwater from the last Ice Age carved deep channels into the landscape.

Hiker walking through Guhturgurra, also known as Kutturankuru, a steep and narrow gorge in the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area in Finland. Rocky slopes rise on both sides with open tundra terrain as the route leads toward Kilpisjärvi.

My Lovely wife Mieke wrote a blog post about solo hiking. She advocates that solo hiking is not only for the brave and strong, but for everyone.

It's written in Dutch.

You gotta love the view from the Porojärvi Wilderness Hut towards the Meekon Valley. One of the most beautiful sceneries in Finland.

View from the Porojärvi Wilderness Hut looking toward the Meekon Valley in Finland, showing wide open fjells and rugged northern landscape under clear light.

This is what I still miss from my hike. Oh well, the next hike is only about three months away.

Scenic view from a recent hike showing mountains, fjells, or wilderness terrain, capturing the feeling of longing for the outdoors.

It’s been almost three weeks since my hike, and I’m just now starting to go through my photos. The first photo is a flock of diver birds that I still don’t know the species of. I hope I can recognize them at some point. Adjusting to city life has been really difficult this time, because the hike was just that awesome.

First photo shows a flock of diver birds in flight over a lake or fjell area. Hiker reflects on the recent long-distance hike while going through photos and adjusting to city life.

Some (way too many) pictures from last week’s hiking trip. Temperatures ranging from below zero at night to sweaty T-shirt weather during the day. All in all I was exceptionally lucky with the weather and it did not rain once during all four days.
The colors were at peak autumn, too, so perfect timing.

Looking outside today, a week later, with the leaves tumbling down in 20m/s winds I’m feeling very lucky indeed!
