Kiirunapolku Circle Trail

You can begin the trail from the Kiilopää starting gate. The trail is marked with magenta Kiirunapolku symbols on posts. If the weather is clear when you reach the top of the fell, you can also admire the fells forming part of the Urho Kekkonen National Park to the north and east. In the south, you can see the sharp peaks of the Nattastunturit Fells located in the Sompio Strict Nature Reserve. In winter, the trail serves as a snowshoeing route. The trail is suitable for beginner hikers and those walking with dogs. If you want to extend the hike, you can combine it with other trails, such as the Luulampi trail. In some of the wetland areas along the ditch edges, there are duckboards, but there is one crossing over a shallow stream. The information boards on the Kiirunapolku Trail, which winds around the Kiilopää Fell, tell hikers about the barren fell nature and its plants, birds and other animals. A sharp-eyed traveller may see a rock ptarmigan, the bird that has given its name to the trail, or hear its rattling call. The Kiilopää area is ideal for spotting this and other Arctic bird species
