Karigasniemi

The house of the village association, with tourist information (summertime), café, Internet connection, summertime "reality TV" from underwater cameras showing salmon in real time. Riverside sauna.

Tenojoki is rich in salmon. Several businesses offer fishing trips (see Sleep below). Going on your own is possible, given you pay the fishing fees and respect regulations, which vary by area. More information from local tourist businesses or Ylä-Teno fishing surveyors Niilo A. Rasmus +358 40 843 9094 and Jorma Harlin +358 40 843 9093. The tributaries and lakes are not included in the Teno permits and fishing is restricted in many waters; separate permits are available for some areas, either from landowners or the "Utsjoki 1574" permit for fishing in still waters in much of the wilderness areas. Fishing equipment, including boat and boots, have to be disinfected (e.g. by sufficient drying or at a disinfection point; get a certificate) when coming from other waters, because of the Gyrodactylus salaris parasite in many other Nordic waters.

7-km path (one way) from Karigasniemi to the Láŋká fell by Áilegas. Rest spot halfway. The path should be easy to follow with map and compass. Wet terrain at places. Nice views from Láŋká. 3-km shortcut to the Kaamanen road partly along the Láŋká radio mast maintenance road.

2 km nature trail in hilly terrain at the holy source of Sulaoja (Suttesjohka; "non-freezing stream"), telling also about the autumnal moth (Epirrita autumnata), which in 1965–1966 destroyed vast expanses of fell birch forest.

Hiking trail (63 or 78 km) through the Kevo canyon in Kevo Strict Nature Reserve. Demanding: rough terrain, steep sections, fords. The canyon and its surroundings are a strict nature reserve; trails have to be followed (except in winter), no entrance to the canyon 1.4–14.6, camping only at dedicated places, no berry picking. There are huts and shelters for breaks and overnight stays, camping is allowed at those sites. The trail ends at Lake Kenesjärvi, 26 km south of Utsjoki by E75. The first wilderness hut, Ruktajärvi wilderness hut, is 10 km from the trailhead, the canyon itself starts 12 km farther. There are shelters near the start of the canyon, at Fiellu, and farther along the route.

11-km biking route into Paistunturit Wilderness Area, to the lake Áhkojávri (Akujärvi). You can continue 5 km by foot to Ahkojotgoahti (Aku-kammi) camp fire site at the Kevo route. Suomen Latu (a skiers' and hikers' association) has built a turf hut (goahti, kammi) here.

12-km biking route to Luomusjärvet (Luopmošjávrrit), around the fell Niilasašvárri, by a reindeer round-up site and back to the road. Start at Sulaoja (see above), back to the road some 2 km towards Karigasniemi.
