Finland's wildest and newest national parks, a vast expanse of ancient forest right on the Russian border. Here, 'in the middle of nowhere,' you can truly disconnect and explore a landscape carved by the Ice Age, full of rolling fells, deep ravines, and quiet ponds. The well-marked trails cater to all, from easy hour-long strolls to challenging all-day treks, with many starting conveniently near the Salla Visitor Centre. Whether you're hiking under the midnight sun or snowshoeing through a silent, snow-laden forest, the profound peace of the Arctic wilderness is an unforgettable experience.

Salla is one of those places that have a lot of variety in scenery in not that big of a space. From fell to swamp to lake, all within a day. It has some super cool modern facilities such as day trip huts and open wilderness huts.
