Description

Husumaan pyöräilyreitti is a compact summer bike line through Salla village and the Ruuhijärvi–school sports belt in Lapland: about 11.2 km as one mapped line, not a loop, linking lakeside beaches and forest shelter points with the main street service strip. For current summer cycling PDFs, multi-use winter notes, and Outdoor Active route descriptions, start with Visit Salla’s outdoor trails hub. The Sallatunturi–Salla centre cycling corridor explains how the Husuma loop continues from the Ruuhijärvi swimming beach and nearby village services, and notes a paved shared-use link between the fell and the centre before the route turns onto gravel beside Ruuhijoki toward the centre. The Municipality of Salla publishes visitor details for the War and Reconstruction Museum in the village centre, including café and shop, for riders who want a cultural stop. Bike and e-bike hire for the area is summarised on Visit Salla’s rental services page. Early kilometres cluster around Ruuhijärvi: about 1.8 km from the start you pass Ruuhijärven uimarannan grillikota, Sallan kirkonkylän beachvolleykenttä, Ruuhijärven talviuintipaikka, and Sallan kirkonkylän uimaranta—natural swim and picnic stops on warm days. Mid-route, near 6.5 km, SEKM:n laavu sits in the forest for a longer break. Closer to Ruuhijoki and Kuusamontie, Ruuhijoen grillikatos offers a fire-shelter pause around 9.2 km, then FG-Salla, Sallatunturin koulun liikuntasali, Sallan jäähalli, Koulukeskuksen lähiliikuntapaikka Salla, Sallatunturin koulun pallokenttä, and Sallan tenniskentät frame the school and sports campus. Varhaiskasvatuskeskuksen lähiliikuntapaikka and Ulkoliikunta- ja leikkipaikka finish the northern village edge toward the line’s end. The same geography stitches into longer municipal bike legs: Sallan pyöräilyreitti, Ruuhijoen pyöräilyreitti, Marjavaaran pyöräilyreitti, and Salla–Sallatunturi maastopyöräreitti share segments or crossings here; the hiking ring Tunturilta kirkolle ja äinpäin reitti overlaps the outdoor-gym and Ruuhijoki fireplace area for walkers. Snowmobile corridors also cross nearby—stay alert at junctions.

Length & route

The mapped line is about 11.2 km as one continuous point-to-point route and is not a loop. Terrain mixes village-side paths, gravel beside Ruuhijoki, forest trail, and short paved connectors—similar in spirit to the easy Sallatunturi–centre corridor described for the area, with a light overall height profile on the village side.

Getting there

Use Finnish national road 5 to Salla, then local roads toward the northern village recreation core and Ruuhijärvi beach—public parking sits near the sports and beach blocks off Kuusamontie and Saijantie. Route feedback and grooming questions go to reittipalaute@salla.fi as listed on Visit Salla.
