The Malla Trail is one of Kilpisjarvi's classic hikes, running through fell birch, open heath, boulder slopes, and the protected landscapes of Malla Strict Nature Reserve. The full route is about 11 km one way, with a shorter detour to Pikku-Malla giving fine views without committing to the whole walk. Weather changes quickly here and spring comes late, so treat it as a real Lapland hike rather than a casual village stroll.
