Posio

Posio lies beside Lake Posiojärvi in northeastern Finland, where forests, peatlands and low fells shape a sparsely settled Lapland setting. The municipality includes Riisitunturi National Park, known for its rounded fells and winter trees heavily coated with snow and rime. Korouoma, a deep bedrock fracture valley protected as a nature reserve, adds steep cliffs and seasonal icefalls to the local terrain. Posio is also associated with Pentik, the Finnish ceramics and home-design company founded here in 1971, whose work has given the community a national profile. Hiking, skiing and quiet lakeside stops reveal a slower side of northern Finland. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Posio and northeastern Finland.
