Auttiköngäs is one of Lapland’s hidden gems — a nature trail leading through old-growth forests, wooden bridges, and river valleys before reaching its crown jewel: the mighty Auttiköngäs waterfall, plunging 16 meters into the canyon below. With Arctic GM, this becomes more than just a hike — it’s a heritage-rooted journey into Lapland’s wilderness.
