The rivers Könkämä, Muonio and Tornio form the 540 km long border that unites Sweden with Finland. Here in the wilderness three cultures meet, Finnish, Swedish and Saami (Lapp). A thrilling different part of Scandinavia, known as Lapland.
On an island in the river Muonio, looking out over two countries, lays Rajamaa. We have fully equipped chalets and a little restaurant.
Here, some 200 km above the Arctic Circle, Lapland is at its best and cleanest, with deep forests, mighty rivers and the mountains rising at the horizon.
Old paths and small roads wind through the forests and along rivers. From the hills You have breath-taking views of the wilderness. Birds, flowers, animals, the whole nature is significant for Lapland. Many northern species are only found here in what is known as the western-most part of the enormous Taiga.
The season goes from mid June to the end of September. From blooming meadows, over summer’s midnight-sun, the autumn colours of "ruska", to the frosty coming of the winter. Here You can enjoy the clean untouched Lapland, its nature, people and their rare culture.
During some days You will, far away from the everyday worries, experience the genuine fascinating Lapland where man still lives in harmony with nature.
The Malmström family, hosts at Rajamaa since the start 1986, welcomes You as our guest.
