Sallatunturi Area

Safe travel destination with good services.

You can find the majority of the area’s accommodation and activity services in Sallatunturi Fell Area - located 10 km southeast of the village of Salla. Here you can find plenty of options from guided tours and different activities, all year around. You can ski, take a tour with professional snowmobile guides, see huskies, meet reindeers (both trained and semi-wild), walk marked hiking paths and of course explore the surroundings independently.

People of Salla are working together, aiming towards more sustainable practices in travel and leisure industries. You can find companies with different sustainability certificates or plans for the future; we want that sustainability with all its factors is a way of doing and way of living here. A trust in a better tomorrow, born out of hard experiences, is a characteristic that pushes the people of Salla forward.

Whenever attending a guided tour, visiting the restaurant or meeting a person behind the ski rental service desk - don’t hesitate to ask about the practices or sustainability. Guides, receptions and owners are happy to share their knowledge about Sallatunturi, history of the area or local ways of living.

There is maintained network of trails in the Sallatunturi Area, equipped with service structures such as campfire sites; several trail options for all the eight seasons of Lapland. You can read more about the seasonal changes in the website of Visit Salla.
