In the snowy season, skiing and snowshoeing are permitted in Malla Strict Nature Reserve. A maintained ski track (length 11 kilometres) is only available in Malla Strict Nature Reserve in early spring.

• You can reach the Three Nations' Border Point by following a marked ski track from Kilpisjärvi via Koltalahti / Golddaluokta (10 kilometres).
• The start of the ski tracks can be found on the lake shore next to Kilpisjärvi Holiday Village & Camping and Kilpisjärvi Tourist Hotel/Lapland Hotels Kilpis.
• In March and April, a demanding ski track that leads through the Strict Nature Reserve is maintained by Kilpisjärven ladut association. For up-to-date situation of the ski track, visit Infogis-page (infogis.fi, in Finnish)

Birdlife in the Malla and Kilpisjärvi area is arctic and unique.

• In summertime, you can walk in the Mountain Birch forests and admire Bluethroats (Luscinia svecica), Bramblings (Fringilla montifringilla) and even Ring Ouzels (Turdus torquatus), and up in the bare fells you may see Long-tailed Skuas (Stercorarius longicaudus), Eurasian Dotterels (Eudromias morinellus) and European Golden Plovers (Pluvialis apricaria).
• In the winter, a hiker may well spot a Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and delight in the Willow Grouse's (Lagopus lagopus) courtship display in the springtime birch forest.
• With a pair of binoculars directed at Lake Kilpisjärvi, you may catch a glimpse of arctic waterfowl like Long-tailed Ducks (Clangula hyemalis) and Velvet Scoters (Melanitta fusca).

• You may freely go boating on Lake Kilpisjärvi, but it is not wise to venture out onto the open lake in a rowing boat.
• The shallow shore waters are suitable for canoeing and paddling.
• Boats and canoes can be booked from the local entrepreneurs.
