HIKING IN SALLA NATIONAL PARK

Discover the untouched beauty of Salla, Lapland, on a guided day hike north of the Arctic Circle.
Walk through ancient pine forests, across open fells, and into dramatic gorges on scenic trails like Pahakuru, Ruuhitunturi, or Iso Pyhätunturi.

In Salla – “in the middle of nowhere” – nature shows its purest face. Vast horizons, quiet forests, and stillness all around. Come for the views, stay for the silence.
