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.
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.

At the airport in Kittilä, our bus is ready to take us through the wintry forests of Lapland. We head westward towards the Muonio River and after 1 hour we reach Rajamaa. We install ourselves in the nice fully equipped chalets, and then gather in the main building.
We get to know each other and check the program of the week. Dinner at the restaurant.

After a steady breakfast and after we have made some sandwiches for the lunch we gather outside. Led by the skilled guide we make a walk through the wintry landscape to learn more about the rare nature of Lapland. A tour everyone can participate in. Tracks of birds and animals in the snow, trees and bushes adapted to the harsh climate among with other nature phenomena of the Taiga, will be described. We eat our lunch by a flaming log fire in the forest, before walking back to Rajamaa.
Dinner at the restaurant.
