More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cold wind skates over the low fells as a 4x4 crunches through packed snow toward the Pallas ridgeline. You step out into a hush—pines bowed with ice, a vast white apron stretching away—and the guide fits snowshoes that will change how you read the ground. The tour moves deliberately off main tracks, letting the forest and open fell set the pace.

Wildlife
History
Pallas was protected early in Finland’s conservation history and sits in a landscape long used for reindeer herding and small-scale Sámi subsistence.
Conservation
Snowshoeing minimizes trail widening in winter but stay on guide-selected routes, avoid disturbing wildlife, and pack out all waste to protect fragile lichen and tundra.

Layer for changing conditions
Start with a moisture-wicking base, add insulating mid-layers and a waterproof outer shell—you’ll warm during the walk and cool at the campfire.
Protect eyes from glare
Bring UV sunglasses and sunscreen; open snowfields intensify sunlight and can burn exposed skin quickly.
Use insulated, traction-ready boots
Waterproof, insulated boots with good tread and gaiters keep snow out and feet warm throughout the trek.
Charge devices and pack extras
Carry a fully charged phone, extra batteries or power bank, and small hand warmers for the return drive.
Insulated waterproof boots
Keeps feet dry and warm in deep snow and during pauses at the campfire.
