About Pallastunturit
Pallas features a sequence of rounded elevations in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park. Above the forest, the trails allow views of the open relief and the reach of the valleys. The outing is a walking and scenic activity, with circuit choices depending on the terrain and the season.
The Hetta–Pallas crossing is a multi-day option and should not be confused with a short trip to the Pallas sector. For a first visit, check local routes and pick one that fits the available time. The elevations require vertical gain and the extent of the view varies with weather conditions.
Drive to the Pallas access and check park information before starting. From June to September there are usually snow-free hikes, although the terrain can retain transitional conditions. In winter, use only an organized activity for that month and do not expect the same route described for summer.
