In the stunning Finnish Lapland, Pallas stands out among the many mountains for its unique features. Firstly, the valleys situated above the tree line offer an extraordinary advantage – you can smoothly glide from one hill to another without the need to land your kite. With favorable winds, you can effortlessly tour through 9 hills in one exhilarating session.
Secondly, Pallas is nestled within the magnificent Pallas-Ylläs National Park. This means that the mountains remain untouched and open for kiters to explore. Picture this: no roads, no rocks, no buildings obstructing the breathtaking scenery. It’s just you, your kite, and the vast wilderness. Keep an eye out for the occasional visit from a curious reindeer, adding an extra touch of enchantment to your experience. At the Pallas hotel you will be able to start kiting straight from the hotel, how about that ?!
Unfortunately, as you would know if you kitesurf often, the wind even in perfect and renown kiting spots doesn’t always pan-out. So we at Snowkite Sensation make sure that there is plenty for you to do in this unfortunate scenario.
Other winter sports: As always skiing is always an option in our snowkite travel collection. Fat bikes are available to rent at the hotel. The electric powered fat bikes are a fun activity if you wish to wander across the natural park.
Gastronomy: Finnish cuisine, influenced by Sweden and Russia, has developed specific characteristics such as a high nutritional requirement and products that can be preserved during the dark and harsh winters. The food is nonetheless varied: berries (blackberries, cranberries and bilberries), reindeer, bear and game meat, mushrooms, cheeses, etc. All this is accompanied by ruisleipä bread seasoned with herbs or fir buds for tasty and festive dishes such as herring (silli) with chanterelle sauce, fish pie (kalakukko), vegetable patties (karjalanpiirakka) or grilled sausages (grillimakkara).
There is so much variety that the best thing to do is to taste it on the spot!
Visiting and relaxing: after dinner, if you have a little more energy left in you, you can head out through the forest up to the mountains where there is absolutely zero light pollution. With some luck you will have the privilege to experience some of the most amazing Northern lights (aurora borealis). The walk in the dark and quiet wilderness is an experience in itself! Make sure you don’t miss the final stop in a hut to drink some local spirits. Refusing is not an option. On another note, the Father Christmas village is a 2h drive from the hotel, a fun activity if you are planning to travel with young kids.
