Finland doesn’t really have mountains like those in the Moomin valley, and is generally very flat. I believe Tone Jansson was inspired by the west coast of Norway. There are tons of valleys there that looks almost exactly like it, with the same combination of ocean, mountains and forest.
While @phoog has mentioned it was inspired by Angsmarn, there is also Moomin World!
Moomin World (Muumimaailma in Finnish, Muminvärlden in Swedish) is the
Moomin Theme Park especially for children. Moomin World is located on
the island of Kailo beside the old town of Naantali, near the city of
Turku in Western Finland.
According to Wikipedia:
It was inspired by Ängsmarn, a family retreat in Sweden, which is also situated on a grassy field facing the sea and surrounded by rocky outcrops.
The Finnish page seems to indicate that the estate is on Blidö.
