River rafting in rubber boats is popular in the Arctic Circle Hiking Area. The river rafting route starts from the Vikajärvi lake outlet, which is an old log floating shore, and continues down the River Raudanjoki towards Vikaköngäs and on to Vaattunkiköngäs. After the rapids, rafters reach the old log storing area below.

There are no maintained ski track network or marked winter trails, but the area offers great opportunities for free ski touring. In late winter, the wide stretches of snow in Kivalonaapa are a great destination for skiers. Don’t forget to bring a map application or a printed map and compass.

The Arctic Circle Hiking Area is good for snowshoeing. One of the various excellent destinations is Vaattunkivaara, which has an observation tower along the nature trail.
