Salla In The Middle Of Nowhere

Pure nature sets the pace for the easy rhythm of life in Salla. The flux of the eight seasons keeps the villages, the Salla national park and the wilderness in constant change. The presence of and respect for nature are an essential part of the Salla state of mind. Salla is located in the middle of the pure nature of Eastern Lapland. The four main seasons in Salla are complemented by four transitioning seasons. For the weather of the north, the only permanent thing is change: the seasons and conditions can change over only a few weeks. All eight seasons have their own characteristics and natural phenomena, with the highlights being the nightless night in the summer time, the colourful nature of a beautiful autumn foliage and the midwinters that are characterised by crown snow-loaded trees and beautiful aurora borealis in the sky. The years may also be described through the Year of the Reindeer, which starts in the beginning of May, when the reindeer are calving and the nature of Salla is waking up from winter, while quickly moving towards the bloom of summer. Salla is an ecological and responsible travel destination, where local travel professionals are committed to sustainable actions by their customer and environmental promises, and visitors are encouraged to travel, hike and recycle responsibly.
