Description

Kesäretkeilyreitti 1 is a 20.2 km point-to-point summer hiking route in Muonio, Lapland. On Luontoon.fi the same corridor is published under the name Kesäretkeilyreitti (Pallastunturi – Laukupalo – Mäntyrova – Toras-Sieppi), managed by Metsähallitus in the Pallas–Ylläs area. Muonio municipality lists summer trails on the InfoGIS map and names a route coordinator for feedback on local outdoor routes. Discover Muonio summarises the wider trail network—over 500 km of summer trails around Pallas–Yllästunturi National Park—and links to printable and online maps. The trail runs from the Muonio side toward Pallastunturi, finishing at the Pallastunturin luontokeskus pysäköintialue by the nature centre and Hiihtokeskus Pallas. About 11 km into the route you reach the Mäntyrova cluster: Mäntyrova lähde, Mäntyrova autiotupa, Mäntyrova at kuivakäymälä, and Mäntyrova at tulentekopaikka—a natural half-way stop for water, cooking, or an overnight stay in the open wilderness hut if you follow hut rules. Farther along, Mäntyrova at tulentekopaikka sits near the campfire point for a longer lunch break. The final kilometres approach the Pallastunturi visitor area, where the ski hill and nature centre mark the end of the line. This corridor overlaps the marked Hetta–Pallas hiking trail and the Pallas-Torassieppi maastopyöräilyreitti near Mäntyrova, and it meets the Pallas–Nammalakuru summer hiking trail closer to Pallastunturi—useful if you want to combine legs on different days. In winter the same geometry is part of Muonion latuverkosto for skiing; in summer it is a hiking and trail-running line through forest, mires, and rocky fells. Kävelystä ja elämästä describes wet duckboards and rocky footing around Mäntyrova after heavy rain, and notes that maintenance priorities on some side paths have shifted—worth reading for a ground-level sense of the terrain, even though that post circles a shorter loop from the hotel. Weather can change quickly; carry wind and rain layers and check Luontoon.fi for national park rules before you set out.

Length & route

20.2 km point-to-point (authoritative mapped length). Roughly the first half crosses forest and mire toward Mäntyrova; the second half climbs toward Pallastunturi services. The Mäntyrova service cluster lies near 11 km from the start of this line, with the nature-centre parking at the far end.

Getting there

One end of the route sits at Pallastunturin luontokeskus pysäköintialue, Pallastunturintie 560—easy to reach by car for a drop-off or finish. The other end lies toward the Torassieppi–Jerisjärvi road network south-west of Muonio; Muonio publishes the detailed summer trail layers on InfoGIS, and Discover Muonio lists outlets that sell the paper Muonio outdoor map. For the latest road and trailhead details, combine the municipality map with the trail page on Luontoon.fi.

Good to know

Dogs must be on a leash in the national park; camping follows Metsähallitus rules for the park and wilderness huts. For feedback on Muonio-maintained trail layers, use the contact on the municipality outdoor page.
