Starting pointPallastunturi parking area
The starting point is at the end of the parking area, on the left side of the hotel. From the starting point, follow the brown signs: "Pallas 10 km".
The skiing direction of the Pallas 10 Trail is clockwise. The trail starts with a long descent from the tree line to open forest terrain. The long strands of horsehair and beard lichen you see on the trees as you pass by are a sign of how clean the air is.
This part of the journey goes fast. Prepare to slow down after a couple of kilometres so you don’t miss the crossing where you should turn right. You’ll be warm again by the time the track turns towards Laukupalo Fell. The Pallastunturi Fells rising majestically behind the open mire are a good reason to take a break.
Here you’ll be skiing through a peaceful forest, even though the trail is quite close to the hotel. The trail rises gently to begin with, but you may have to switch to the herringbone technique for a while on Laukupalo Fell. All sense of urgency disappears on the fresh white and slippery snow of the ski track. Treat yourself to a hot drink at the end of the trail and enjoy the atmosphere at nostalgic Lapland Hotels Pallas.
