A 144 page guide book and waterproof map. Book text in Finnish.
A superb guidebook and separate waterproof outdoor map for those hiking in the Kilpisjärvi wilderness.
The guide is well-suited for day hikers in the Kilpisjärvi area as well as those planning a trek to Halti. The book covers both day trips around Kilpisjärvi, including Saana and the surrounding areas, and hiking routes to Halti. In addition to the Kalottireitti (Arctic Trail) that leads to Halti from the Finnish side, the book introduces three alternative paths arriving from Norway.
The large fells of the Käsivarsi region are unique mountainous areas in Finland, with landscapes that differ from all other wilderness areas in Lapland. Besides focusing on hiking routes, the guide highlights the region’s rare flora and birdlife.
The separate folded outdoor map is waterproof and marks all the routes featured in the guide, as well as other points of interest in the area. The map makes it easy to navigate on both day hikes and longer treks.
