Finnish Championships in gold panning
At the Finnish Championships in gold panning, the copper schools are buzzing and the pure gold bars of Lapland will find their pick in the middle of the most beautiful nature in the north. But did you know that even a first-timer can take part in a race – even if you do it yourself?
Tankavaara has been competing in gold panning since 1973. The event is growing strongly, as every year gold panning in the peaceful nature of Lapland enchants new people.
This year’s Finnish Championships will be held in Tankavaara from July 29 to July 31, 2022! Register as a competitor in advance on the official competition website:
