History
The Pallas–Ylläs area has long been a seasonal landscape for Sámi reindeer herding and a route for trade and travel across Lapland; modern conservation began in the 1930s to protect its unique fell environment.
Conservation
Operators emphasize low-impact practices and dog welfare; visitors should stay on marked trails, pack out waste, and respect reindeer grazing areas.

Footwear matters

Protect your hands
Carry a thin liner glove and a warmer outer glove for handling dogs and stopping frequently for photos.
Respect dog space
Follow handlers’ instructions when approaching or attaching to a husky to keep dogs relaxed and safe.
Waterproof hiking boots
