Most snowshoe tours in Ylläs are forest walks near the villages. This one takes you to Varkaankuru, one of the best-known natural sites in Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, Finland’s most visited national park. We start at the Kellokas visitor centre and follow the official winter trail through old spruce forest, with some trees around 200 years old, all heavy with crown snow. At the Varkaankuru wilderness hut your local guide lights a campfire, and we grill sausages and warm up with a hot drink before walking back. Groups are small, no experience is needed, and hotel pickup from Äkäslompolo and Ylläsjärvi is included, so you only need warm clothes.
