The monolithic fell that rises next to the village of Kilpisjärvi is named Saana. Climbing to its summit is a taxing yet rewarding hike.
The marked trail to Saana’s summit at 1029 metres starts from the car park at Malla Strict Nature Reserve. There is a hut about a kilometre up from the car park. The descent follows the same trail. The total distance is 8 km
The marked trails are open all year, but the Saana Nature Reserve is off-limits between 15 May and 1 September. You might spot a pleasant surprise on your journey – many rare butterflies dwell on the slopes of Saana.
