Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing

From the villa, you may step straight into silence – strap on your snowshoes and follow the gentle path that leads towards the peaks of Pallas. The land around the houses is level and easy to walk, a welcoming beginning for those who try snowshoeing for the very first time. With each step your confidence grows – and soon the wide fells call you further, where the horizon opens and the view becomes incomparable.

But the fell is alive. Its face can change quickly. Always watch the weather, carry warm clothing and bring provisions. If you venture deeper into valleys such as Nammalankuru, learn about avalanche conditions before you go.
Along the ski routes you will find simple shelters and wilderness huts – places where fire, wood and silence are waiting.

And remember: in the fells, mobile signal may fade, and the cold empties batteries faster than you expect.
Here, nature speaks in its own rhythm – walk a while with it.

On the website infogis.fi you will find an interactive hiking map, where winter trail conditions are continuously updated.
The map also provides comprehensive information about the hiking network around Raattama, Kittilä and Muonio, as well as an overview of available services along the routes.

Printed hiking maps can be purchased from the Raattama Tourism Association for just a few euros.
