Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

At Yllästunturi the weather can change in a very short time. Despite the altitude of only 718m, it is very reminiscent of the Kamnik Alps.

View of a fell reflected in a lake, Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here the trail opens up to a clear view of a tunturi—a rounded fell typical of northern Finland—reflected in a calm, mirror-like lake below. It’s a great place to stop, refuel, and take in the scenery before continuing.

Strange name: alpine vegetation altitude??

The Fjell (Norwegian), Fjäll (Swedish), Fjall (Icelandic) or Tunturi (Finnish) corresponds to the alpine vegetation altitude of the Fennoscandian mountains
