Valtavaara Summit and Hut

Highlight • Summit

From the top of Valtavaara mountain at 492 meters, you have a beautiful view of the mostly flat landscape of Valtavaara-Pyhävaara Nature Reserve around you. If it is chilly (like most of the time), there is a wooden hut with a fire pit just next to the summit.

Stone steps trail

Highlight • Trail

It's slippery, rocky and steep here. Steps cut into the ground help you get up and down safely and train your calves at the same time.

Valtavaaranlampi Wilderness Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This wilderness hut is a great treat, especially on a chilly day. There are wooden benches and a fire pit to get warm again. It is located at the idyllic Valtavaaran Lake.
