  • Särkitunturi in Muonio, western Lapland, provides access to open fell scenery along an easy trail.
  • The article says autumn colors arrived in parts of the Ylläs fell region as early as August this year.
  • The summit offers views across the fell range, including the Pallastunturi fells.

For hikers with limited time or stamina, Särkitunturi offers an easy path into the open fell landscape of western Lapland.

The destination lies in Muonio and is presented as an especially strong choice for an autumn-colour hike. Although a local saying places the start of Lapland’s autumn colors at 9:00 on September 9, the colors began appearing as early as August this year in at least the Ylläs area.

From Särkitunturi, visitors can see the entire fell range. The view includes the Pallastunturi fells, among them Orotuskero, Laukukero, Taivaskero, Pyhäkero, Palkaskero and Pallaskero.

From here you can see the entire fell range.
