SKI TRAILS

Karte der Skiisten in der LandschaftThe diverse network of trails runs through the "land of fells", so skiers must always take the conditions into account. Wind-blown snow or snowdrifts may cover a recently skied trail. The trails are mainly maintained with a trail tamper, but during the off-season a snowmobile-drawn trail grader is also used. In this case, traditional skiing is possible on the trails.

The ski trails are so-called circular runs, so you can start skiing from any point along the route. The starting point of the ski trails is the national park's P-area near the former Vuontispirtti. The starting point of the Sarvijärvi circuit is at Harrisaajo. The recommended direction of travel is counterclockwise, with the traditional track groove on the right side. Each named circuit is marked with its own color code and there is a km sign every kilometer, which tells you how much distance has been covered and how much is left.

Please note that the trail network also runs through private land in some parts. In addition, snowmobile riding is permitted on some sections, eg when reindeer herding requires it.

Trail map (all trails)
Infogis mapThis link opens a real-time trail maintenance tracking system. The colors indicate when the trails were last maintained. You can also open the tracking system on your smartphone, which will show your location while skiing on the trail. This same tracking system has also been introduced in Levi and Ylläs as a paid service. Raattaman Reitit does not charge a fee for using the system. By purchasing a trail sticker and map, you support trail maintenance.

Ahovaara tour  (3.7 km)
The trail rises to the top of Ahovaara, from which Magnificent views open up to the entire fell range. There is also a lean-to (no tree maintenance) along the trail. Normal basic condition is sufficient for the route. You should be careful not to go too fast when descending! The trail is lit. The lighting is on from around 7:30 to 10 am and from 2 to 10 pm. The frost limit for lighting is approx. 20°C.

Raattaman trail (18 km)
The trail goes through Yli-Kyrö, Raattama village and Harrisaajo. The terrain is easy, only at the village there is an uphill/downhill. The section between the village and Harrisaajo is an open ridge, which you should be prepared for in windy weather. It is also worth considering the wind when choosing the direction of the trail. At Harrisaajo, there is a lean-to next to the route (no tree maintenance). The trail is lit between Kyrö and Autto reindeer farm accommodation. The lighting is on from around 7:30 to 10 am and from 2 to 10 pm. The frost limit for lighting is approx. 20°C.

Vuontiskierros (7.3 km)
A gentle, flat, enjoyable trail around Lake Vuontisjärvi, suitable for everyone, with the exception of a few small climbs.

Hommakierros (4.2 km)
A short, easy loop around Lake Hommajärvi, with a lean-to on the shore (no tree maintenance). Suitable for all skiers.

Tynnyrikierros (9.1 km)
A nice route goes along the edge of the mountain, from where a stunning view of Lumikero opens up. From here the track turns around Tynnyrijärvi back to the starting point at the former Vuontispirtti. Suitable for all skiers, considering the length of the route.

Varkhaankierros (13.8 km)
The route has varying terrain, with a few short steep climbs/descents. There is a hut along the trail (forest management by the Finnish Forest Service). Normal basic fitness is sufficient, considering the length of the route.

Sarvijärvi loop (8 km)
The route is a side loop from the Raattama loop, from where the trail leads towards Sarvijärvi. The first couple of kilometers of the route are uphill, which is rewarded with a couple of kilometers of fast descent back to the Raattama loop trail. About a couple of hundred meters from the halfway point of the route there is a stop at the Sarvijärvi hut (a forest maintenance facility run by the Finnish Forest Service).

Tracks to the national park area
We are also renovating routes to a few destinations in the national park area. The tracks to Montelli Lodge, Nammalakuru and Hannukuru will be renovated during the ski season. 

Snowshoeing  is allowed on all trails maintained by Raattaman Reittie. Snowshoeers always give way to skiers. Don't tread on traditional trails.

Fatbike winter cycling  is permitted on all trails maintained by Raattaman Reittie with skating permits. Cyclists always give way to skiers.

Kick sledding  is permitted on all trails maintained by Raattaman Reittie with skating permits. Sledders always give way to skiers.

Dog track
You can go skiing with dogs on the entire Raattama Trails network of trails.

Schneeschuhtouren

Von der gemütlichen Villa aus können Sie direkt in die Stille eintauchen – ziehen Sie Ihre Schneeschuhe an und folgen Sie dem sanften Pfad, der zu den Gipfeln des Pallas führt. Das Gelände rund um die Häuser ist flach und leicht zu begehen – ein perfekter Einstieg für alle, die das Schneeschuhwandern zum ersten Mal ausprobieren. Mit jedem Schritt wächst Ihr Selbstvertrauen – und bald locken die weiten Fjells in die Ferne, wo sich der Horizont öffnet und die Aussicht unvergleichlich ist.

Doch der Fjell ist lebendig. Sein Gesicht kann sich schnell verändern. Beobachten Sie stets das Wetter, tragen Sie warme Kleidung und nehmen Sie Proviant mit. Wenn Sie tiefer vordringen, zum Beispiel in die Nammalankuru-Täler, informieren Sie sich vorab über die Lawinenlage. Entlang der Skipisten gibt es einfache Rastplätze und Wildnishütten – Orte, an denen Feuer, Bäume und Stille auf Sie warten.

Denken Sie auch daran: In den Bergen gibt es nicht immer Handyempfang, und die Kälte saugt Ihre Batterien schneller leer, als Sie denken.
Hier spricht die Natur in ihrem eigenen Rhythmus – nehmen Sie sich einen Moment Zeit, um mitzugehen.

Auf der Website infogis.fi finden Sie eine interaktive Wanderkarte, auf der Sie die aktuellen Winterwanderwegbedingungen einsehen können.
Die Karte bietet außerdem umfassende Informationen zu den Wanderwegen in den Gebieten Raatama, Kittilä und Muonio sowie eine Übersicht über die Serviceleistungen entlang der Wanderwege.

Gedruckte Wanderkarten können beim Tourismusverein Raatama für wenige Euro erworben werden.
