2. Arts & Photography: Finding Inspiration in Nature
Pyhä is not only a destination for outdoor adventure—it’s also a haven for artists, photographers, and creatives seeking inspiration in the quiet majesty of Lapland’s landscapes. During summertime, the long daylight hours and ever-changing natural light create perfect conditions for capturing the beauty of the fells, forests, and wetlands. In summer, the trails are alive with wildflowers and birdsong. Autumn brings a stunning transformation—fiery reds, oranges, and yellows blanket the forests and fells. It's one of the best times for scenic hikes and photography.
One of the most unique ways to experience art in Pyhä is by walking the Art Hike Route (Taidepolku) at Pyhätunturi. This easy-to-moderate trail weaves through scenic terrain and features outdoor art installations created by Finnish artists, thoughtfully placed in harmony with nature. The works often reflect themes of ecology, Sámi culture, and the spiritual connection between humans and the land.
For photographers, Pyhä offers endless opportunities—whether it’s capturing golden hour light on the fells, mist rising from lakes at dawn, or the vibrant colors of wildflowers and, later in the season, early signs of “ruska” (autumn foliage). The nearby Pyhä-Luosto National Park also offers dramatic landscapes, deep gorges like Isokuru, and panoramic viewpoints perfect for landscape photography. If you're looking to be the first of the season to capture the Northern Lights, book our guided tour!
Whether you're walking the Taidepolku, joining a local photography tour, or simply taking your time with a camera in hand, Pyhä in summertime invites you to slow down, look closer, and see Lapland as both a wilderness—and a work of art.
