Winter hike to Saariselkä and Hammastunturi 29.12.2014 – 5.1.2015

SOOPA’s (University of Oulu Scout Troop) traditional Winter Hike will this year be heading to Saariselkä and Hammastunturi Wilderness Areas in North-eastern Lapland. On the hike, we are looking forward to icy landscapes, warmth of wilderness cabins, and of course – great company and unforgettable experiences.

SOOPA’s Winter Hike is a week-long trip in the arctic hills of Lapland. We will divide into small groups and ski about 50 to 100 km during the hike, depending on the wishes of the group. On Winter Hikes the groups usually ski from cabin to cabin so the route depends on the location of the cabins and distances between them. Some days can also be set aside for short day trips with light backpacks, and you might then climb to the summit of a nearby arctic hill.
