Tour Overview
Saana Science Trail brings you to the top of iconic Saana Fell (height 1029 m). Along your uphill travel, you will discover curious wonders ranging from the water in Lake Kilpisjärvi to the plants, lichens, animals, snow, and air growing, living, and lingering around the path that you are following. You will see traces of avalanches on Malla Fell and learn about all the health benefits you gain by continuing your walk. When you have conquered the ~550 vertical metres, you will learn about the stone labyrinths found at the trail.
Please note that the first four stops on the Saana and Saanajärvi Science Trails are identical.
