The three-state border. The yellow concrete marker indicates where Finland, Sweden, and Norway meet. It is just 15 km from Kilpisjärvi, and tourists flock here to see this spot on snowmobile safaris. While the surroundings are beautiful, the border marker itself is just a man-made rock. The noise from the snowmobiles disrupts the silence of the fjells and causes erosion and compaction of the ground. I have never understood the need to go into nature with motorized means if you are a tourist or hiker. It contradicts all the things nature has to offer you: silence, slowness, and the raw beauty of the Nordic wilderness. Also, you are disturbing the wildlife. For those who live here, it is a different story, of course.

Sky about to break open from cloud cover.

Skiing with the clouds. Though hiding the view, skiing at the same level with clouds was magical. The beautiful vistas came through time to time and the clouds just added another beautiful layer to the whole experience.

On a lunch break. During the coldest months, it is important to remember to eat and drink. Your body will use a lot of energy just to stay warm. Sometimes I know I need to eat just by how cold I am starting to feel. No need for fancy hiking food though. Dried mashed potatoes and any form of protein with a tablespoon or two of butter is a cheap and easy meal. It can also be supplemented with dried veggies. Just throw the whole meal into a food thermos in the morning and let it prepare itself.

The struggle is real. My friend walking and carrying his skis and poles uphill as he did not have enough grip on the skis. We tried to avoid uphill sections but it is impossible to skip them all in the fjells. From February 2026 ski tour.

Night falls at our campsite in the valley between Isdalsfjella in Norway and Juoksváhnjunni in Sweden. Once again, a photo from our ski tour to Pältsan in February 2026.

Skiing back to Goppahytta on a bright day. This would turn into a foggy day later and stay that way almost until we reached Goppahytta.

Rock Ptarmigan looking for something to eat during our two-week ski tour to Pältsan in February 2026. I have never seen so many in one place at a time as there were in this valley. They are also more rare in Finland. They were surprisingly tame as well and let us get quite close to them. Maybe it is because they are more used to people in this area, as Pältsan is a quite popular spot for hikes all year around.
