Description

Summer hiking trail 5 is a roughly 10.1 km summer-use connection on Olostunturi in Muonio, Lapland, linking the Olos resort side toward the wider Muonio–Pallas summer trail network. The City of Muonio publishes summer cycling and walking routes through its InfoGIS map service and names a summer-route contact for maintenance questions. Descriptions for Muonio’s numbered kesäretkeilyreitti corridors are grouped on Luontoon.fi. Discover Muonio notes that Olostunturi trails were refurbished and signposting improved in autumn 2021, with printed and online overview material for the Olos route family. For the wider Pallas–Ylläs area, Visit Finnish Lapland describes how summer trails connect villages, visitor centres and fells after the snow melts. Metsähallitus’ printed Pallas area brochure explains how marked kesäretkeilyreitit are shown on national-park maps and reminds that pets must be kept on a leash in the national park. The route begins beside Olostunturi services: west of the line you pass Oloksen kuntosali and Olos-squash around Oloshotellintie, and Olostunturin laskettelukeskus sits on the fell shoulder where many visitors start. The path is not a loop; it carries you northeast off the ski-resort shoulder toward the junction with longer hiking alternatives. If you wish to continue toward Pallastunturi, Kesäretkeilyreitti 1 picks up the main summer corridor to Mäntyrova autiotupa, Hiihtokeskus Pallas, and Pallastunturin luontokeskus pysäköintialue. Along the lower Olos slopes the same trail fabric meets popular bike circuits such as Oloksen Maisemareitti, Oloksen Huippureitti, and Oloksen Kierto, so expect occasional riders where management allows shared use. Carry wind shells and expect exposed sections: even mid-summer on Olos the breeze can feel cold after effort. When snow has melted, aim to confirm the day’s route rules from municipal and national-park sources before mixing hiking with bikes on multi-use segments.

Length & route

The trail is about 10.1 km as one point-to-point summer segment starting from the Olostunturi resort shoulder. It is not a loop. At the far end the line meets Kesäretkeilyreitti 1, which continues as a longer hiking corridor toward Pallastunturi (roughly 20 km for that numbered route in total, including sections beyond this link). Allow about 2–4 hours on foot depending on photo stops, wind, and fitness. Olostunturi trails were refurbished and marked more clearly in 2021.

Getting there

Start from the Olostunturi resort area on Oloshotellintie 25, Muonio — Olostunturin laskettelukeskus, Oloksen kuntosali, and Olos-squash all cluster there, and resort or hotel parking is the practical trailhead in summer. The City of Muonio links summer route geometry to its InfoGIS map; zoom to Olos before you leave home if you want the latest track overlay. Roads to Muonio follow E8 via Kittilä or Kolari; long-distance travellers often land in Kittilä or Rovaniemi.

Good to know

When you join Kesäretkeilyreitti 1 toward Pallastunturi, national park fishing, camping and dog rules apply on reserve land; read hut and campfire site instructions on site. Route maintenance questions in Muonio can be directed to the trail coordinator listed on the municipal routes page.
