Detailed description
Read moreDiscover the berry forests and wetlands of Ranua on a guided 3-hour berry picking trip led by a local guide. This seasonal outdoor experience runs from 15 July until the end of September, with the berries available depending on the timing of your visit and natural growing conditions.
Ranua is known for its northern nature, and this tour gives you a practical, hands-on way to experience it. Instead of simply walking through the landscape, you head out with a guide to search for edible Arctic berries and learn what can be picked during that part of the season.
The berry selection changes through the summer and autumn. Depending on the season, you may pick cloudberries, bilberries, lingonberries, bog bilberries or crowberries. Your local guide helps you identify the berries and leads the group to suitable picking areas.
The trip starts at 10:00 from Arctic Guesthouse & Igloos / Lupland Adventures in Ranua. All necessary equipment for the berry picking trip is provided, so you do not need to arrange specialist gear yourself.
During the trip, hot drinks and snacks are included, giving you a comfortable break during your time outdoors. The combination of local guiding, seasonal berries, included equipment and refreshments makes this a well-rounded nature activity in Ranua.
