It is a short trail starting from the Archipelago national park nature centre Sinisimpukka (Blue mussel). It is short and easy even though the terrain is rocky. Information posts will take you through the different ages in history and rock formed during the times. You will also get to enjoy the view of the beautiful Baltic sea and the Finnish archipelago.

Ounasvaaran näköalatorni

Trail

Ounasvaara näköalatorni (lookout tower) can be reached from the football ground next to Santa Sports Center after a 30-minute walk. The terrain is rugged but not challenging. After the short walk, you will find the lookout tower, a wind shelter and two fire pits. If you want to come for a picnic with your kids this is convenient and perfect. I visited one day after the first snow and landscape were whitewashed in preparation for winter. Evergreens and few stubborn shrubs added green to the landscape otherwise, it was white and brown mostly.
