Sign up for an incredible combined experience that will take you on a snowy adventure, let you try local delicacies, and show you the culture and history of the region on this amazing snowshoe hike to Kellostapuli with lunch and a visit to the Kellokas Museum from Ylläsjärvi! Ylläsjärvi is located in Finnish Lapland and it is well-known for being an excellent ski resort, thanks to its 718-meter high fell, which is covered in snow for a large part of the year. This place is not only perfect to practice diverse winter sports, but it is also a cultural hub for Lappish traditions and a great place to learn how early Finnish people lived and survived with the freezing temperatures of the Arctic Circle.
On the day of your snowshoe hike to Kellostapuli with lunch and a visit to the Kellokas Museum from Ylläsjärvi, you’ll have the option to be picked up around the Ylläs area, or arrive at the meeting point in the Kellokas visitor center by yourself. You’ll meet your expert North Wind Lapland instructor, who will take you on a 20-minute minibus drive to the trailhead of the snowshoe hike, distribute the equipment, and let you prepare for the adventure!
And once everyone is ready, it’s time to go! You’ll snowshoe to the top of Kellostapuli fell, which will be a 300-meter ascent in the snow, and when you arrive, you’ll be able to observe stunning panoramic views of the Ylläs fells and the surrounding snowy forests that will mesmerize you. You’ll then return toward the village and remove your equipment at the Ylläs Nature Center, where you’ll warm up with a delicious Lappish delicacy: locally smoked salmon soup. You’ll enjoy this hearty lunch and also get the opportunity to learn about a local culinary tradition with 4 different types of fish, which are smoked locally, and which you can taste as well. The final step of your journey will be a stop at the wonderful Kellokas Museum, where you can learn about local nature and culture, the perfect end to a busy and fun day.
