This route is a point-to-point summer mountain-bike line of about 11.1 km between Salla village and the Sallatunturi fell resort. Together with the longer Salla bike route network it gives a practical link if you start near the sports facilities in town and aim for cafés, rental shops, and winter-sports services around...
Either direction works; village-to-fell is the natural choice when you sleep in town and plan dinner at the resort, while the reverse suits morning shuttles from fell accommodation.
