Arctic Canoe Route is a total length of 520 km and its following one of the last free floating and clean rivers in Europe. The route starts at the thundra in Kilpisjärvi and floats in the north trough total wilderness and continues later south along the route trough Muonio river valleys, smal villages and farming country all the way to the Baltic Sea and the end in Haparanda/Tornio
The route consists of slow and shallow parts and a total of about 100 rapids, everything from easy Class I rapids to the more considerably more advanced Class V rapids. The idea of Arctic Canoe Route comes from the well known competition ACR that where arranged during the 1980-1990´s on the same route/river that we will use. We want to point out however that the main goal for Arctic Canoe Route is not to arrange competitios. Our main goal is to get the magnicific river well known again for its clean waters and amazing paddeling opportunities it gives and give people the opportunity to paddel it in a organized and safe way together with our certified guides that have life long experience of the waters. There will come continuously more information about the Arctic Canoe so make sure to keep your eyes open!
