Winter trails

The winter fell is more than just skis and snowboards. Salla’s maintained winter trails offer wonderful experiences on foot, with snowshoes, sliding snowshoes, or a winter bike. Head into the shelter of snow-laden trees on an electric fatbike with thick tyres, or enjoy the crunch of snowshoes amidst the silence on your way to the top of the fell. Along the trails, you’ll find fantastic resting spots where you can relax and, with a bit of luck, even admire the Northern Lights dancing in the sky.

You can find information about Salla’s amazing trails on Visit Salla’s website!

Sallatunturi’s winter landscape provides a magnificent setting for eFatbike adventures. The trails wind through varied fell nature, sheltered by forests and across open scenic sections – in silence, where the rush of everyday life is left behind.

The following trails lead you to winter cycling in Salla: Kontiolampi Loop, Sukkala Loop, Ruuhitunturi Trail, Keselmä Loop and the trail circling the fell, which also partly skirts the unique landscapes of Salla National Park. The recommended direction of travel on the trails is clockwise.

We have Lapland’s largest selection of rental bikes! Bikes for all ages can be conveniently rented from the equipment rental shop – hop on the saddle and let the fell carry you away.

Tips for winter cyclists
• Respect other trail users, cycling on cross-country ski trails is forbidden
• Ride calmly and be especially careful on hilly sections
• Announce your intention to overtake well in advance
• Only cycle on marked and permitted trails

Winter walking trails easily lead you into the heart of the forest and to campfire sites, where you can enjoy the magical landscapes of authentic Lapland completely at your own pace. The trails are maintained by snowmobile, so they are easy to walk along in regular winter boots. Please note that not all trails are lit. So, plan your trip carefully to avoid being caught out by the dark. If needed, you can also ask our staff for tips!

The fells and forests await their conquerors! Snowshoes make it easy to reach places that are inaccessible by skiing or walking. In Sallatunturi, snowshoes and sliding snowshoes can be rented from Salla Ski Resort. Snowshoe trails are marked with blue ploughing poles that have reflectors.
