WINTER ADVENTURE 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.

Step into the winter magic of Salla National Park, where endless snowy forests and silent fells create the perfect backdrop for adventure. With snowshoes on your feet, you’ll move easily across deep snow, discovering places that are unreachable in any other way.

On the way to Salla, we will cross the Arctic Circle – a special moment to mark your journey into the far north.

Your local guide will lead the way, choosing the most beautiful routes according to the group’s wishes and the day’s weather conditions. Sometimes this means wandering through ancient pine forests heavy with snow, other times climbing up to open fells where breathtaking winter views stretch as far as the eye can see.

Along the journey, you’ll hear stories about the area’s nature, wildlife, and culture – and of course, there will be time to pause, take photos, and simply breathe in the crisp Arctic air.

Snowshoeing is a fun and safe activity for all levels of hikers. In late winter, if snow conditions are suitable, the trip can also be made with OAC skinbased skis, which allow a smooth and playful way to move through the snowy landscape.
