Visit Salla
Motoring out into the descending darkness on a snowmobile is an exhilarating way of exploring Salla's snow-loaded wilderness.
Old-growth evergreen forests, stream banks and marshy low-lying areas provide ideal conditions for the capercaillie — Salla's most iconic resident.
The traditional, atmospheric Lappish hut at the summit of Iso Pyhätunturi. After a 40-minute ascent to the top, the old-growth forest gives way to dwarfed vegetation and heath, revealing panoramic views of Salla National Park, the Russian border and beyond.
There are three winter biking trails to choose from in Salla National Park, all of which are well signposted and groomed by a snowmobile.
