Halti
Halti / Háldi
The mountain of Halti, home to Finland's highest point at 1,324 m, reachable only by multi-day hikes or via Norway, and the ultimate goal for outdoor enthusiasts.
Halti lies on the border between Finland and Norway. Its main summit is on the Norwegian side, while on the Finnish slopes stands Finland's highest point at 1,324 m, marked by a boundary stone and memorial marker. From Kilpisjärvi, the Northern Calotte Trail is about 55 km one way, with free wilderness huts along the way, and a round trip usually takes 4–6 days. In summer you can also charter a helicopter to a nearby lake to shorten the route, or start from the Guolasjávri mountain road on the Norwegian side for a day trip of about 8 km one way. You need full equipment and maps, and the weather changes quickly.
