Sallatunturi is a peaceful, outdoor-loving tourist's dream destination just 45 minutes from Ruka. The network of outdoor trails is wide all year round, the rest areas are well maintained, the ski slopes have varying profiles and, best of all, you don't have to queue for the ski lift and the slopes are not full of people either. Restaurants Kiela and Keloravintola serve local delicacies by easy way. Interesting places to visit are e.g. Salla reindeer park (3.5 km) and the Museum of the War and Reconstruction Era in the center of Salla municipality (11 km). Shops can also be found in the Salla municipality center.
